		Cecil Wormsborough St. John Nobbs ('Nobby') is a fictional character in the Discworld novels of Terry Pratchett.
		Nobby proved less tractable than the conspirators had expected, turning down a cushy life as figurehead ruler of Ankh-Morpork largely, by his own account, for fear of what Vimes would have to say when he found out.
		Nobby played a role in the resolution of the "war" between Ankh-Morpork and the empire of Klatch in Jingo, and in recognition the Patrician gave him a new job in traffic control.

	Pratchett Characters: Corporal CW St J Nobby Nobbs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Corporal Nobby Nobbs is known to carry a certificate to his species signed by the Patrician himself along with a variety of interesting cigarette ends and various other items "found" over the years.
		Nobby has been described as a fair guide to the mind of Ankh-Morpork's average citizen as well as a fine advertisement for genocide.
		Whatever, Corporal CW St.J Nobbs remains a much-loved character and his exploits are looked forward to by many on AFP, which must suggest something about the newsgroup rather more than Nobby himself.

		One day Nobby Nobbs was tramping his usual beat around the city of Ankh Morpork- or rather he would have been, had he not nipped down a quiet alley to have a quick smoke.
		Nobby couldn't quite put his finger on it, and besides he was flattered at being taken notice of by such a stunner.
		As the ringing noise in his ears died down, Nobby looked mournfully at his dogend, which was now a small piece of charred tar.

		Colon beamed at [Nobby] with the rather worried expression of a mad doctor who has bolted on the head, applied the crackling lightning to the electrodes, and is now watching his creation lurch down to the village.
		Nobby was vaguely aware of animals as being food in a primary stage and left it at that.

	Guards! Guards! - Terry Pratchett - Review - Watch the Watch.
		Fred is a little like Nobby, great friends and both very keen on bunking off to have a quick pint and a smoke when there's work to be done.
		This is the 1st of Terry Pratchett's books to feature the city Watch; it has the background of the bunch and follows their adventures in their time of great peril.
		It is, like all of Pratchett's books, a very funny story, the use of Nobby as the Watch clown is great and the introduction of a 6-foot dwarf is a stroke of genius.

		To make things worse, he learns that the extremely un-royal Corporal Nobby Nobbs may be the rightful king of Ankh-Morpork (if that doesn't warp your view of reality, nothing will), and that the Patrician is being slowly poisoned -- but no one knows just how the poison is being administered.
		I'd be speaking of Sir Samuel Vimes, and Nobby Nobbs.
		Nobbs is such a fantastic character, Pratchett gives him great scenes, the best in my mind being the scene in which a few Puppetmasters are trying to get Nobby to assume his royal position.

	Review - Guards Guards by Terry Pratchett
		His second in command is Sergeant Colon, whose breastplate is one of those feats of engineering designed to give the wearer the appearance of having impressive pectoral muscles and a six pack, but all it actually does is hold in his gut like a jelly in a mould.
		Last, and not least is Corporal Nobby Nobbs, described as a rodent of a man who has been docked wages for bringing humankind into disrepute.
		A new recruit is Lance Corporal Carrot, who was brought up as a dwarf but is very tall with broad shoulders and has a liking for polishing his armour; he is also trying to memorise an elderly volume of the Laws and Ordinances of Ankh-Morpork.

		The ones that stick in the memory are: Vetinari's unfazable younger self as an assassin in training, the street urchin, Nobby Nobbs, Fred Colon and a superb pre-'Cut-Me-Own'Throat' Dibbler.
		Old fans will adore meeting Nobby Nobbs as a street urchin, Havelock Vetinari as a student assassin, and Reg Shoe as a young (and very much alive) rebel-without-a-cause.
		There is still a lot of dark humour (and how can you not laugh when Nobby reflects upon Keel giving him a spoon?) and tonnes of laughs.
