Most people do prefer him in the stand. For some reason I've always preferred him in the DT
I loved the whole series and again I know a lot felt it went a bit shit. I was late getting into it and read books 1-7 in one go.
Anyways that's me out of this thread
That's just not true. My phone is not letting me cut and paste but google 'crime among homeless' and read the guardian article that comes up. Says 28pc have committed imprisonable offences and a lot of women have had unwanted sex
Yea I also read it in one go. Were you happy from Wolves of the Calla onwards? I thought it went downhill from that book on. And the Crimson King was such an anticlimax. I was bitterly disappointed by that.
Oh - and make sure you read 'Wind in the Keyhole'. It is excellent. It's a stand alone story between Wizard and Glass and Wolves of the Calla.
I refuse to read the Mail so I found the Washington Post's take on it:

I'll never understand these people.

To be fair, yeah, I shouldn't really have reduced it to grammar jibes. However, I realise I was attempting to elicit some kind of empathetic thinking from someone who can't figure out how full stops work, so maybe I was expecting too much. I'm glad to see most posters on here share my feelings and values.
Ugh
Well I'm delighted to see your excellent use of grammar has gotten you so far in life that you cannot even afford a holiday each year.
And I can
Fecking ISIS. Ruined Randall's vacation too.
On as serious note, there is absolutely nothing wrong with you choosing another destination for your next vacation, Randall. However, if somebody is going to complain then I think it should be the Greeks, who might lose some money because of this.
As for the unfortunate tourists who went there, it's just one vacation. Pick another destination next time. I also have had my vacation "ruined" for other reasons a time or two in the past.

Well if someone is going to bring down a discussion to a certain level I have no problem joining them. Otherwise I wouldn't dream of making such a comment
I feel for anyone who works hard to go on holiday and due to political circumstances finds their holiday destination completely different than what they were expecting. That's where my sympathy ends though. I mean, some perspective is needed.
Oh you don't need to justify yourself, I enjoyed it immensely.
If you removed money (I mean the plastic kind too since it's privately made like), I wonder would Randalls opinion be different. I suspect it creates a certain type of reaction. It's one thing wasting a holiday but it's another wasting one you paid for. And of course people go on holiday to get away from their fecking job - cause they gotta earn to survive. Vicious circle much?
It's even worse when clearly if the homeless had money they wouldn't be homeless or if there was no such thing as 'money' - they wouldn't be homeless. In all probability. City would go back to being a small club and players would play for the clubs they love to play for ..which means Ronaldo would come back to United. Let's scrap money (the whole lot). See if the world becomes a better place I'm sure you'd enjoy your break more. And feck the daily mail.

It'd be nice to be able to afford it, but I realise I am in a pretty good situation in life compared to the majority of the 7bn other people in the world. I'd not get all pissy about the fact there are people less well off, as you have done about both fleeing refugees and myself. You must be a great guy, well done.

As it is, my ability to use full stops and commas is one of the things which has given me a little bit of job security. The one guaranteed form of income I have is from a job where I have to write to a good standard. The other three are zero hour contracts. That means if I take a holiday, it basically costs me twice as much, as I am not able to earn money during the time that I am away. My situation is not unusual, there are many people doing exactly the same. I am glad you find mine and their financial situation so amusing, just as you find the presence of the real lives of third world refugees interfering with more fortunate people's holidays so abhorrent.
Sounds shite. Anyways sorry I hurt your feelings
I will toast your health when I'm sunning it up in Portugal in July

Arghh forgot them full stops again
And I'll spend my day at work hoping you don't get swept out into the middle of the Atlantic having fallen asleep on the beach.
What's your main job, out of interest? The one requiring writing skills.
What the feck is happening in this thread
It got derailed somewhat after Randall espoused a DM opinion.
I'm sure many folk would agree with Randall's take. People who are wealthy enough to take nice holidays generally would prefer to be as oblivious as possible to the poverty nearby. Holidays, for a lot, are to a large degree about a brief escape from the reality of their lives and seeing other folk struggling for their life is not what they have in mind when they book.
That said, anyone who has the gall to complain publicly about the fact their affluent existence was inhibited by people struggling to stay alive is likely severely lacking in both empathy and societal understanding.

No. Not really.
Well, they would when their holiday is wrecked thanks to noisy Parisians.
A lot of people may feel one way but shouldnt dare speak about it publicaly. Read anything about fascism lately?
The people complaining in the article were on cheap package holidays in Kos, hardly a safari or round the world cruise.I think DOTA is stuck in the 80's, pretty much anyone with a full time job can afford a holiday these days
No - but next to penniless migrants it's another world.
I wasn't alive in the eighties :P
Of course, but the notion that people have to be 'wealthy' to go on holiday is just wrong. You can holiday on a shoe-string.
You can do it for very cheap if you're in a position to put down money months in advance and take time off work. Unfortunately some aren't in that position, for a variety of reasons out of their control. In any case the DM article is horrible.
I'm not defending the article, just saying package holidays to Kos are not the sole preserve of the super-wealthy.
You do not have to be what most people would refer to as 'affluent' by British standards and I'll give you that my post does read a bit like that.
They're far too well off compared to those whose presence they're moaning about to not look like prats though.
Could your time of the month put you over the drink drive limit?

What a bizarre article. The author admits she drink nearly four times the drink driving limit the night before, mixing wine, ouzo and vodka, but then segways into how women's menstrual cycle can push them over the limit.

That's the sort of thing I expect to see in the Guardian. 'The patriarchy caused my knicker elastic to perish in a wine bar'.
They must just keep using this 'etiquette specialist' guy to wind up their readers. He is occasionally funny tbf in his own way.
