I kind of saw it as a bit of a Hitchthikers Guide rip off...

I have no experience with Jilly Cooper.

Srsly. Start reading. Proper books.

I like Terry Pratchett, but it's an issue on which reasonable people can hold differences of opinion without it turning into a fight.

Isn't it? Please?

f**k you and the horse you rode in on

Down, weebles!

Well, I'm satisfied - both Gollum and Laz gave reasons for why they don't like TP's stuff, and that's what would irk me the most. If you dislike something without good reason, you're clearly not thinking it through and shouldn't shoot your mouth off.

They have good reason, and that squares it with me.

Cheers!

Is this a fight? Oh. I wasn't aware. Though we were just having a discussion.

Gawd your fights are s**t Mark :p

well, he's married now, isn't he?

I'm a lover, not a fighter

Not from my end. I'm quite comfortable knowing that everyone else apart from me is wrong. K? K

i've just regressed six years. *snork*

Just to make it clear: i didn't read a single one of Pratchett's book.

Hard to disagree but most of people and even everyone can say that they don't like something music.writing/and etc. because of reasons mentioned by Lazarus and G's Cock. But obviously if you can only answer to question why you don't like this or that music/art stuff like: 'because i don't' the you act like a 6 yrs old child and there's no point of talking with that person.

end of talking obvious things.

Good to know Trad Goth is still alive and living in Royal Tunbridge Wells.

I agree with everyone's right (however misguided) to dislike Pratchett but none of the specific criticisms levelled here seem to bear any relation to his books. Perhaps the early ones were by a writer still perfecting his craft but he's always tackled big issues and displayed a depth of characterisation and narrative that are frequently compared to Dickens.

I've never actually read Pratchett. There's always been something I can't quite put my finger on that I've found off-putting, despite the fact that the basic premise would appeal to me. Oh well.

We need more men like you on this planet!

I think his slippers have tiny bats on, if that helps.

What sort of punctuation is that?

Write five hundred times:

"As a moderator it is my duty to set an example and always use the possessive when posting."

The British education system might be failing but that's no reason to let standards on Heartland fall!

Me too, but there's nothing wrong with getting slapped.

If that's not in the spirit of christmas then I don't know what is..

Merry Christmas.

Now if MrsRicheyJames would just apologise everything will get back to noirmal (nice gothic type error - I'll keep it).
