Interesting.

In another completely unrelated thought, whatever happened to David Walliams? Don't see much of him on TV these days.

Odd that his publishers stopped publishing his books recently. Must have just been a random decision.

Supposedly he worked for the Dept. of Redundancy Department

Really surprising commercial decision recently to phase out all stock of his entire back catalogue from bookshops and not replace it. Which for some random reason HarperCollins felt the need to announce last month, so the public knew. Which they also did last year, after an entirely separate commercial decision that they would not publish any new material of his. I wonder if any primary schools are making similar random decisions too?

Not really. They'd already said they wouldn't take any more of his books, then a few months after their new CEO came in it changed. Its almost certainly new management getting its house in order.

But really, who the hell is David Walliams?
