What Bibijayne said. You can’t understand if you weren’t there. Tut tut.

Ah I'm going to read it again later.
I had a beer with the wonderful TP once. Well I had a beer, he had red wine and was very kind while I embarrassingly fangirled at him.

As PP said, lilac & a towel.

RubaiyatOfAnyone · 25/05/2020 08:53

I shall wear the Lilac, for TP, Vimes, Granny Weatherwax, and all the future books we will now never get to read.

I'm wearing lilac and carrying my towel. Forgot my hard-boiled egg but I think i can get a bread roll with boiled egg for my lunch from the bakery.

It bothers me some that both my big geek days are on the same day - and sometimes i think it's ok.

Here's to all the real hoopy froods who know where their towels are. Rise up rise up!

It's also Charlie Harper's birthday so today I need to wear a UK subs t-shirt while lying on a towel in my back garden, reading Night Watch.

I'm working my way through all the Watch books. Half way through Thud!

GNU Sir TP.

YouTheCat · 25/05/2020 09:55

Got any sausages? Onnastik?

mbosnz · 25/05/2020 09:57

I shall wear the lilac.

I'm currently reading 'Going Postal'.

RIP Sir Terry.

Absolutely - and rat onna stick, conglomerates, vegan rat onna stick, banged grains, and pies

HelenaJustina · 25/05/2020 09:59

Always, in memory of Sir TP and my beloved Granny also cruelly taken by Alzheimer’s.
