Yeah, I'm a Pratchett nut, how'd you guess?

Apart from that, I'm from Ireland, have been working as a civil servant after a number of years working precarious jobs, being unemployed and volunteering (teaching English to asylum seekers with a group of nuns).
I'm 34 at the end of the month, like GAA some bits of soccer, rugby, Civs 1-4 (most definitely not 5 *bleurgh*), SFDebris, and reading, especially sci-fi and history.

Hello! 
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

Greetings! De chelonian mobile!
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Hi Dorfl!!  Welcome to AF!
I love me some Pratchett. I converted a colleague of mine who couldn't stand him at first.
Anywho, Welcome waffles:

Pratchett is/was great. Many of his books adorn our shelves and have infiltrated our Kindles.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

Welcome! Glad your not one of those manky Scots gits.

That's cool to have someone from Ireland.
Welcome to a mostly sane forum.

Welcome to AF. So far, I've read Colour of Magic, Light Fantastic, Guards! Guards! and Sourcery. Discworld has already quite effortlessly become my favourite book series of all time 
Since you seem pretty clued up and I'm a little unsure, what should be the next few Discworld books I demolish, would you say?

Welcome! Which bit of Ireland? I was bread and buttered in Ballymena, went to uni at Belfast and (later) Dublin.
You must be replete of waffles. Have a toffee rat, my compliments...
