I was explaining to Mr Cox about the Dragon of Unhappiness being the main reason why I put the toilet seat down.
He didn’t get it. Some on here might.

And I hate the publisher monopoly as much as the next guy, but I'll be buying that annotated edition of Night Watch when it drops next April, and reading it all again with relish. Mind how you go.

In fact, no gods anywhere play chess. They prefer simple, vicious games, where you Do Not Achieve Transcendence but Go Straight to Oblivion; a key to the understanding of all religion is that a god's idea of amusement is Snakes and Ladders with greased rungs.

It is always an appropriate time to start rereading The Truth by #TerryPrachett
Perhaps I need an #introduction.
I am the goddess Anoia.
I am the goddess of things stuck in drawers. And volcanoes.
I mostly watch the #discworld but have been known to stray into roundworld so it's best to stay on my good side.
Every time you swear at a stuck drawer, I am there. Rattle them and pray.
I may branch out into looking after things that fall down the back of unmovable furniture, and coins found in sofas.

There are *no* inconsistencies in the Discworld books; ocassionally, however, there are alternate pasts.

Probably the last man who knew how it worked had been tortured to death years before. Or as soon as it was installed. Killing the creator was a traditional method of patent protection.

"Why bother with such a big stone arch?"
"It's just showing off. There's probably a sticker on the back saying 'My Other Grave Is A Porch'".

The sergeant put on the poker face which has been handed down from NCO to NCO ever since one protoamphibian told another, lower ranking protoamphibian to muster a squad of newts and Take That Beach.
