Also namechanged. Now off to scan the thread to see if I've inadvertently copied anyone else....

AltogetherAndrews · 12/03/2015 20:29

Hello.

Cried at my desk at work today when I heard, then had to explain to colleagues why.

Ptraci · 12/03/2015 20:31

RIP Pterry

Crivens · 12/03/2015 20:32

Will I get banned for sockpuppeting if I post in both my TP names? Especially as I'm already on this thread under my usual name.

42andGaffaTape · 12/03/2015 20:36

Rest in peace Terry Pratchett, your wit and imagination will be missed.

TheHoundsBitch · 12/03/2015 20:42

Ooh I've lost me pamphlets again. Confused

MsAdorabelleDearheartVonLipwig · 12/03/2015 20:42

I'm up thread a little way.

Still got a lump in my throat.

AnguaResurgam · 12/03/2015 20:42

Checking in, with slight surprise that I wasn't on the thread when it started.

Very sad day. But this thread has made me feel surprisingly celebrational.

TheHoundsBitch · 12/03/2015 20:43

Well. I'm terrible at name changing Shock

IPokeBadgers · 12/03/2015 20:44

Not got a TP username but felt so sad earlier when i saw that he was gone. Such a loss.

Theluggage15 · 12/03/2015 20:46

So sad to hear this news. Lovely, funny, brilliant man.

TheCrowFromBelow · 12/03/2015 20:52

I like being a corvid and Quoth has been taken, or I would NC.
Maybe I'm RenataFlitworth at heart.
What I love about this thread is that I recognise so many of the names.
Great writer. Sad news.

flora717 · 12/03/2015 20:58

Not a TP name at the moment. A very sad day. It's been weird as thinking more about what death is and what it means I hadn't given much thought until TP books were in my life.

EvadneCake · 12/03/2015 21:00

A very sad day. Bugrit.

PatricianOfAnkhMorpork · 12/03/2015 21:09

Evening all. I think Havelock will be wearing the lilac this evening.

DEATHcameforSirPterry · 12/03/2015 21:24

Obviously we knew this day would come but I was so shocked when I heard the news. Bastarding disease.

Changed my scales for a very fine man. RIP Terry. Sad

pointythings · 12/03/2015 21:41

I was AScorpionPitForMimes at one point. I love Vetinari. Rumour has it there is a finished book yet to come, I really hope this is true.

MrSlant · 12/03/2015 22:13

Buggerit.

Whyhasnooneusedvimesyet · 12/03/2015 22:19

Just spotted this thread and relative newbie to site too. Couldn't think of a wittier name when I joined and was re reading Guards! Guards! at the time.
It's a sad day.

TrulyTurtles · 12/03/2015 22:30

I wanted a good tp name for a bit, then I saw the piece from his fb page...
Well it truly is turtles all the way down.
Could we not have a witches' hat please MN? A lilac one obvs.
