An Extra Special "Happy Birthday"

It's my favourite author's 60th birthday today!

Terry Pratchett, genius writer of the Discworld books is celebrating today.... and Nanny Ogg's in charge of the party!

Anyone up for a chorus or 2 of "The Hedgehog Song"?

If you don't know Terry's work, I can't recommend highly enough that you go along to your local library or bookshop and borrow (or obviously BUY, if it's a bookshop you go to... otherwise that's nicking - although as you can read on his Wikipedia page, he's got the record for the most shoplifted author in Britain... something to be quite proud of, I think!):

Wikipedia: Terry Pratchett

So, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MR PRATCHETT! (And, how about a knighthood as his 60th birthday present, Mr Prime Minister!?)
