The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

Funniest guy writing today imo.
Been reading them since they first started coming out (20 odd years ago). Go read going postal (My favourite, and loosely analogous to our profession) and then come back and say they're drivel.Hang on - there is actually a place called Cheddar?? - cailin maith

Literary snobbery IMO. I read just as much, if not more, 'serious' literature and some fairly chunky non fiction books (I've usually got three books going at the same time, different genres depending on what I feel like) than most people, but somehow reading fantasy is looked down on.
There's plenty of garbage out there in fantasy, but so does every other field in literature and Pratchett's stuff is brilliant - the guy not only is incredibly funny (If you ever read Bill Bryson - I think they share a very similar sense of humour), but he's an incredibly good writer.
It's not gonna change anyone's mind, if it's not your bag it's not your bag. But if you're willing to give up a few evenings of your time go read Going Postal like I suggested and you may be pleasantly surprised.Hang on - there is actually a place called Cheddar?? - cailin maith
