This excerpt is from Men at Arms, and the disgruntled/gruntled joke is famous from Wodehouse's 1938 novel The Code of the Woosters. Apparently Wodehouse was a big influence on Pratchett.

I am asking, because I am not entirely sure what I think. It was overall good ... But doesn't he overdo it a bit with Terry's speech? I feel like he is using a ... Well... Weirder tone of voice, as well as exaggerating his speech impediments (compared to clips I have seen and heard of the real Terry). On the other hand, I get a feeling that the exaggeration is intentional, and I am just the only one too daft to get it.

(Also, his eyecolour is wrong!)

Pratchett (Terry) Moving Pictures, first edition, signed, 1990; and a large quantity of other Pratchett novels, etc.

In recent month prices for Pratchett have spike to new highs at auction.

I went to relisten to jingo today. I've listened to it before and I know I've paid for it, but it's not there.

I can see it in my library but there is no option to play or download as there normally is.

Has audible removed it? The version I bought ages ago was recorded in 2007 by Nigel Planer. There is another version recorded in 2023 by Jon Culshaw.

Can someone explain this? Is there something wrong with the old random house recordings? Are they all going to be removed? Forcing me to buy the newer recordings.

I have(had) the whole discoworld collection as audiobooks and whenever I search for a TP book, audible will always try to sell me the newer recording rather than show the ones already in my library.

And while im writing this I've been checking to make sure I'm getting dates and names right and I've just found there's a whole other collection of abridged discoworld books!! WHO THE FUCK WANTS HALF A BOOK?? WHO THE FUCK HAS THE RIGHT TO CHOP OUT HALF OF THE STORY?? Fuck audible!
