It was nice to see a little more of Otto too—and Moist's cabbage-themed stamps! (Hadn't he already made them in GP?).
I don't remember, but I'm assuming that only a year or so passed in between GP and Thud!, so Vimes could easily have been referring to events that occurred during GP.
It's a bit odd we've never heard his dwarfish name before now. do all dwarfs have double names—although Khad-bhat does sound a little like "Carrot".
I think Carrot was originally a nickname, but I guess he adopted it as his official name when he came to Ankh-Morpork. I think most Morporkian dwarf names are simply literal translations of their Dwarfish names, but I'm sure there are exceptions. Isn't there a passage in Wyrd Sisters about how dwarfs who move into the city often change their names to things like "Timkin Rumbleguts"?
What's the new Century called, Century of the Anchovy?
I think it's the Century of the Rat, as mentioned in Feet of Clay.
