Next you'll be saying that you dont all strut around with cane swords or conselled daggers...

: Yegods no. I'd never dress up in silly outfits; *certainly* not if TV cameras were going to be involved;

Hold on I thought you where an anarchist!! (joke)

:and since I tend to get the books signed as soon as they're published, I don't take along more than one or two at a time.

Oh, right.

: I remember the filming of that programme, though; it was at Forbidden Planet on New Oxford Street in December 1996; the TV crew picked out all the 'weirdos' and ignored everyone else; they seemed (however subconsciously) to be trying to further the image of Pratchett readers as 'socially-challenged uglies with no dress sense'

Funny how they do that, it's probably all about making good TV, it'd explain why Muggins here got turned down for Castaway 2000 (that and I'd have had none of that stranding on an island when the structures etc. wheren't finished, as their 'employer' the BBC had a clear damn duty of care there, pity the borgousie mugs that did get choosen have mistaken it for a survivalist harsher than harsh living exercise).

: : He was being really grumpy with that guy, I mean dont turn up to a book signing if your going to huff about having to do it.

: He does that to *everyone* to a lesser or greater extent; there's very little change in his tone of voice; his choice of words merely becomes more acidic...

Maybe that's why he writes good books he's happier with his imagined world and imagined friends...
