Why was he wearing pyjamas to fix his car?

That is quite funny - never realised he was that old.

I'll get my coat.

The photo is funny

look at him thre, smoking away happily

What is it about we men that one day, sooner or later, we will all think nothing of mucking around with petrol in our pyjamas? Is it just me, or does he just look like everyone's granddad there?

That news item is depressing and hilarious in equal measure.

I thought his books were okay.

"It made for a real fancy vehicle, right up until it burned."

Beautiful. You can tell he's a writer, can't you?

Jim_Campbell · 30 January, 2007, 05:48:53 PM

Wasn't he reported to have died a few months back?

Cheers!

That's what I thought...

That might be David Gemmell you're thinking of.

Hah! He lives in Carson City.

"In a lapse of judgment he readily admitted, Eddings lit a piece of paper and threw into the puddle to test if it was still flammable."

That's my favourite bit, right there...

In a lapse of judgment he readily admitted, Eddings lit a piece of paper and threw into the puddle to test if it was still flammable.

The only difference between me and Eddings is that I'dwant to test it, but he went right ahead and did it. Live the dream!
