sammynb 3609 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Poor bloke Sammynb, if his books were all the same, why did you allegdly carry on buying them? Firstly there is no capital in my name, secondly because they are all quite reasonable reads and humorous, in a same way, lastly I didn't buy them all myself, haven't you ever had a girlfriend (should I stop this sentence now?) that latches onto the idea you like something? By the way, for a bunch of Pratchett fans and alex, you lot seem to have had a humour bypass recently. No doubt Pratchett's already making jokes in his next book about........... ........what were we talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just asking why you bought the books that is all. So why lay into someone like that? I dont mind his books, I do agree with you, some of his books are the same, but would that be because they are set in similar places, same characters etc? I just think what Pratchett has isnt a great thing, but yes humour does try and hide up what feelings you have. Some guys on here have witnessed it first hand so taking the piss out of it maybe a little close to them and therefore it hits a nerve.

sammynb 3609 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Just try and think Sammyb You forgot the n twatface Yeah I may have a bit of a cunt streak and yeah it's a shitty disease but I'm over feeling sorry for celebrities because life turns out to be a cunt for them as well. No-one but those close to you will give a fuck when you die of bowel cancer, no-one but the remaining few people that I haven't pissed off will give a fuck when I get run down and paralysed by that drunk copper that drunk five to many because the stress of the job is all to much for him. That's life and why is it any different if I write a few slightly humorous books? Of course the same characters make for similar books, you really do think you're talking to simpletons sometimes don't you??? Seriously, we are talking about mythical, fantasy fiction of course it's all the same, it's not as if he's Bertold Brecht now is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But wykikitoon you don't have to because there is nothing to apologise for. Life's a shite moment waiting to happen and it happens to all us, even the lucky few are touched slightly by it. By the way I'm off out tomorrow to finish some christmas shopping so I think I might see if I can track down his latest. No doubt it will be similar to all the others but I bet I get a laugh out of it at some point. Hopefully we'll find something to laugh at because it's got to be better than worrying about it all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
