Author Terry Pratchett is suffering from a rare form of early Alzheimer's disease, it has been revealed.
I should make a joke here about having spotted this coming, how he repeated himself with Lords and Ladies/Carpe Jugulum and Going Postal/Making Money, but I just can't.
Here's hoping he's alright. Well, as alright as he can be, anyway.

Unfortunately, that pretty much sums it up.

Well this is all a bit sucky.
There are some encouraging words from the man himself on the December '07 news page over at Paul Kidby's site though: http://www.paulkidby.com/news/index.html

Uh-oh...

EA rejected my Celebrity Stalker game idea, too, which is a shame. Online co-op celebrity stalking would have been ace. 8/10 for sure.

Ah, bless EA's little cotton socks. You know what you did wrong with your pitch right? It's because it's not technically a sport
Anywho, I digress

It's gaining in popularity. Give it a few years, we'll be on Sky Sports.
