Terry Pratchett has died

[MrsPurchase]

I'm gutted.

You can download an add on for firefox and chrome, its very quick and easy, its on the page in the link above. You dont need your own site, it just picks up on other sites that are running it. You get a little Clacks symbol on the tool bar and it flashes when the overhead is running.

Errol yes, changing the flowers to purple on the 25th May would be a nice idea.

Having trouble with wordpress - mainly 'cos I've not used it for two years and I'm having trouble with settings/customising. If anyone can help, can they let me know? I'm sure it's a quick and easy thing, but I'm just not seeing it.

wordpress.org/plugins/gnu-terry-pratchett/

Is this any use?

MNHQ Said No to Lilac? Did they now! They'll happily stick a bike up and a tennis ball, but no LILAC? It's not just for Sir Pterry, it's for Alzheimer's Awareness, do they realise this??

Shallow.

And very sad. :(

At least I can still do these

And I've added the clacks to my Google chrome but can't get the gmail thingy to work, probably because it's on the tablet and nothing on mobile sites ever makes sense to me. [dim]

I've downloaded the file/plugin but I can't see how to put it on my wordpress page. Shall try again later.

WE WANT LILAC! WE WANT LILAC! WE WANT LILAC!

How on earth do you do the GNU thing on an iPad?

I've just read in one of my professional newletters, a lovely piece from someone who worked with TP when he was press officer for the nuclear power stations. TP always made it sound like he wasn't very good at this, but apparently he was v good

Have we got a plea on site stuff for lilac flowers?
I would also like to know how to do it on an iPad.

That's lovely, CMOTD

Truly - you start one and we will all come.

How many of his books were turned in to movies?

Marioswife

4 Discworld books were made into movies by Sky.

1. The Colour of Magic
2. The Light Fantastic (adapted as the colour of magic part 2)
3. The Hog Father
4. Going Postal

3 Discworld books have been turned into Animated tv series.

1. Soul Music
2. Wyrd sisters
3. Reaperman (only the first 30 pages in a ten minute short)

One short film has been made from the short story “Troll Bridge”.

And a few of his non-discworld books have been made into TV Series:

1. Truckers
2. Johnny and the Bomb
3. Johnny and the dead

I’m sure there are a few I’ve missed, but these are the main ones.

RIP Sir Terry. He was one of the first British modern writers I read & I fell in love with the British sense of humour because of him.

My children have started reading his books & we share the giggles at the same points.

A great man, lovely & a terrific writer cut down in his prime by horrible affliction.

I've just had a thought, this thread is in Chat and will disappear - unless we ask to get it moved somewhere more permanent. Thoughts?

Good idea, ThumbWitches. I suppose the thing to do is to report the OP to MNHQ and ask for it to be moved wherever the consensus is it would fit best.

I've reported and asked for it to be moved so we can keep the thread.
Fingers crossed...

We could do with a permanent, proper STP Topic.

Evening folks. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We'd hate this thread to vanish too, so we'll move it elsewhere before it disappears. We'll have a think about where best to rehome it and let you know before we do so.

Thanks Iona.

Thanks Iona.

I think it should be in Classics. It's not just for silly stuff, right?

Reported your post ouryve because I think you are absolutely right and I dont want MNHQ to miss it.

Ive started a plea in site stuff.
My stupid ipad won't link, but it's called Wearing the Lilac.

There's now three STP threads in Site Stuff. I want the lilac flowers or the GNU thing. I feel like maybe MNHQ aren't massive fans
