It seems that terry has been diagnosed with a rare form of early onset Alzhiemers.http://ukpress.google.com/article/ALeqM5hiXkIGOurKkbrgfW6JFZv5A-RDkQ
What a bloody awfull disease it is. I wish him all the best luck in the world in his fight against it, he has made millions laugh at the antics of the population of the discworld and other stories, just dont seem fair.

True-its not fair.It just goes to show that there is always someone worse off than you or me BUT I have to admit when I read things like this I could name a few people I wish I could inflicte with this illness and similar debilitating illnesses-just seems only the good guys suffer:( Does the devil really look after his own I wonder.

I don`t see it as double standards, this bloke has been diagnosed not killed. No doubt there will be jokes pertaining to his illness.
Steve Irwin was mourned and as per usual afterwards the tinternet was full of the jokes of his demise.
