Discworld QOTD, from Pyramids

“Younger assassins, who are usually very poor, have very clear ideas about the morality of wealth until they become older assassins, who are usually very rich, when they begin to take the view that injustice has its good points”

Discworld QOTD, from A Hat Full of Sky

"... it must be hard, being the best. You're not allowed to stop. You can only be beaten, and you're too proud ever to lose. Pride! You've turned it into a terrible strength, but it eats away at you."

As a lad from Lancashire Witch country it should be a carved out turnip (effort needed) then up Pendle Hill to search for Old Demdike et al. My dad learned his trade from a descendant of Alice Nutter 🧙

Lucky I found a place that was still open & we’d finished the day slightly early as well. Didn’t want to risk hitting the motorway with a dodgy tyre 🛞 even though I had re inflated it

Note to end the day - having to find a place to get a puncture fixed right at the end of work (well, training course) when having to drive back home to Manchester was fun. Some how picked up a screw in my tyre on the way to Lancs Constabulary HQ this morning.

Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.

Jim Toms @jim09ea63.bsky.social · 9d

To all my brothers in arms
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
