Why NOW?!

Terry Pratchett, the master, my favourite author, the first person I felt fannish feelings for, the hero of my child-, teenager-, and adulthood, the - I think you get the message - is going on a book tour to -ing Scotland and coming to -ing Glasgow on the -ing 30th of September for a -ing signing session in the -ing Buchanan Galleries and I can't -ing be there because it's too -ing expensive to go and all around too much of a hassle because of -ing Ryanair, because they've -ing canceled the direct flight from Hamburg to Glasgow, and that would mean that I have to fly to -ing Stansted, travel from -ing Stansted to -ing London, from -ing London to -ing Glasgow, stay there for some time, and travel back, take the bus home from -ing Lübeck, which would be too expensive.

Bugger.

Now this is -ing bad, the whole load of it. I'm so sorry. *hugs*
Why doesn't he come over here when he's giving tours, anyway? We love him as much, if not more!

We do! He keeps saying so himself. But he does not because because because... I don't know, actually. I think he's been here iiin... was it 2001? I don't know. I only heard of that about a month late, hence the extra frustration. :)
