Terry Pratchett knighted in New Year's Honours List
I am very pleased to see that Terry Pratchett has been honoured with a Knighthood in the Queen's New Year's Honours List. Nobody is more deserving. Well done, Sir Terry!

Only spotted it after I'd posted here, but this, IMHO, is News-with-a-capital-N and deserves to be discussed here . Very, very few British authors achieve the distinction of a knighthood.

in that case, perhaps in order to avoid dispersing the topic, you could merge your thread with the original one and move it to the news forum, or simply provide a link to redirect there. in general we try to avoid multiple threads on the same topic, i think.

I think he probably will keep wearing whatever they buried him in. Too bad that they didn't do this a year ago.
Oook! |

He has alzheimers, but he's very definitely alive.
Link to story about him getting knighted, in which he's quoted as being flabberghasted: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/12...hett_knighted/ |
