Currently extremely fcukin gutted by...

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

My old man had something similar, its a super king kamehameha biotch. Hopefully treatment options have improved in the last 20 years.

"The author has published a statement on a website calling the diagnosis "an embuggerance"."

Respect :notworthy:

It's a horrible disease, hope he's right in thinking the treatment options have improved... It was a pretty scary Panorama I saw last week about how they treat elderly patients with dementia :?

Pratchett can't have this, for he's cooler than Santa. I a lot of aspects, *I* believe he IS Santa. He even looks the part.

I need a hundred more of his fantastic books, dammit!

I never knew an author that got me hooked so much on his not-really-fantasyworld that I read all his books (40-50? Simon, hellup!) ONE AFTER ANOTHER in at about half a year's time.

This is utterly sad news indeed. At least he won't stop until he has to.

True, but I'm sure he can afford it! (Not that that makes it okay though :wink: )

When I first found out, I was fairly upset. Surprised nobody has mentioned it sooner though?

Still gutting. I've known TP longer than my ex-girlfriends. All of them!

Oh. Bugger.
I don't necessarily agree with everything I think.
