''He wears a long mac and a wide brimmed hat that shadows his face so that all that can be seen of him is his too dreadful glowing eyes.'' In those parts of Roundworld where the Vikings once were, this is the classical manifestation of the great god Odin/Wotan/Weyland among men, and nothing good ''ever'' came of a chance meeting with a stranger on the road answering this description. --[[User:AgProv|AgProv]] 10:15, 5 February 2009 (UTC)<br />
<br />
According to Mikko Kuusiriti in Discword Monthly, Old Man Trouble is thought to be the devil, but a more down to earth version (think of George Spiggott [Peter Cook] in <i>Bedazzled</i>) He is a sadist who takes a pride in things going wrong. A number of things going wrong used to mean a visit from Old Man Trouble.<br />
