It was revealed today that Terry Pratchett is suffering from a rare form of early onsett Alzheimer"s. Typcially his announcement of this was given in his own amsuing style, treating it, like his books, as a work of comic genius.
In completely unrelated news, I just read that washing your turkey before cooking is actually more likely to result in you being food poisoned than if you do not wash it. This, apparently, because washing is unlikely to actually remove all the bacteria (only proper cooking does this) but will splash it around onto your worktops and utensils, where it will then sit around for ages.
Thirteen days to go!
