Not to speak ill of the dead, but he was a c**t. Great with the customers, but an arrogant sh*t to deal with in person. He'd regularly do signings at a place I worked, and we tolerated it, because we'd sell a s**t ton of his books, but the bloke was a total asshole to the staff who he regarded as his servants. Almost came to blows once after he reduced a 18 year old girl to tears for not cutting the crust of his sandwiches.

Ok, spoken ill of the dead. Although in fairness, his last words (online) were kind of funny.

Lol, of course he could have said he wanted the crusts cut off. But it was a sandwich from f**king Greggs the stuck up c**t. We'd just shifted about 400 copies of his book in an hour for him (making him at least 400 quid) and he was swearing and cursing at this poor girl. Still wish I'd t***ted the c**t. Next time he came, he got no crusts and some extra trimmings from all the staff.

Is that you Clarkson? Though all jokes aside, was sad to hear about Pratchett. Seemed like a brave fellow. Edited by imbored (12 Mar 2015 4.24pm)

I met him several times and thought he was a very personable fellow. Obviously just didn't like your bookshop Jamie He is responsible for two of my favourite quotes: "People say that before you die your life flashes in front of your eyes. It's true. It's called living." and "Young couples would often come down to the river bank to hold hand hands and bask in the sunshine. He'd done that with Maud, his missus, before they were married. They'd come here to spoon and one very memorable occasion, fork."

Tragic. Funny and talented man. Cant believe there will be no more Discworld.
