  Good evening Squirrel Fans. I have felt like this for the last 12 months at least! :- “He felt that the last couple of hours had somehow carried him along without him actually touching the sides, and for a moment he nursed the strangely consoling feeling that his life was totally beyond his control and whatever happened no one could blame him.” ― Terry Pratchett, Equal Rites Right off for a couple of hours adventuring around the Starfield galaxy (one of the achievements is apparently to visi...

  Good evening Squirrel Fans. I feel that yesterday had a very pineappley texture … I’m still waiting for the peaches! :- “What you had to do in this life was get past the pineapple. It was big and sharp and knobbly, but there might be peaches underneath” ― Terry Pratchett, Going Postal Right off to confront a General about a series of suspicious events! Catch you fab folk on the morrow! Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, I hope you’re well & safe! 😊🫶:party_major_squirrel:🖖 #...

  Good evening Squirrel Fans. In wandering thru L-Space I came upon this quote & on a chaotic whim decided to share it :- The trouble was that ignorance became more interesting, especially big fascinating ignorance about huge and important things like matter and creation, and people stopped patiently building their little houses of rational sticks in the chaos of the universe and started getting interested in the chaos itself - partly because it was a lot easier to be an expert in chaos, b...

  Good evening Squirrel Fans. As the school summer holidays are imminent here in deepest, darkest Yorkshire, this quote seems moderately appropriate :- “On nights such as this, witches are abroad. Well, not actually abroad. They don’t like the food and you can’t trust the water and the shamans always hog the deckchairs.” Terry Pratchett — Wyrd Sisters Right off to see a man about a team of retired xenobiologists .. not a sentence I thought I would be typing 24 hours ago! Catch you fab folk o...

  Good evening Squirrel Fans. I do like this quote which is quite enough of an excuse to accost my Peeps with it! :- “Is this a dagger I see before me?' he mumbled. 'Um. No, my lord. It's my handkerchief, you see. You can sort of tell the difference if you look closely. It doesn't have as many sharp edges.” ― Terry Pratchett, Wyrd Sisters Right off to see if I can persuade a group of bigwigs that they need to take an existential threat seriously - if it’s anything like the rea...

  Good evening Squirrel Fans. A warning to all would be monster hunters … beware their mothers! :- Monsters are getting more uppity, too (...) I heard where this guy, he killed this monster in this lake, no problem, stuck its arm up over the door (...) and you know what? Its mum come and complained. Its actual mum come right down to the hall next day and complained. Actually complained. That's the respect you get.” ― Terry Pratchett, Guards! Guards! Right I seem to have encountered a bug...

  Good evening Squirrel Fans. Oh Wow! :- “It’s a popular fact that 90 percent of the brain is not used and, like most popular facts, it is wrong. . . . It is used. One of its functions is to make the miraculous seem ordinary, to turn the unusual into the usual. Otherwise, human beings, faced with the daily wondrousness of everything, would go around wearing a stupid grin, saying “Wow,” a lot. Part of the brain exists to stop this from happening.” ― Terry Pratchett, Small Gods Right off to tes...

  Good evening Squirrel Fans. I’ve had PC’s with warrnties like this! Not for a while mind I moved to the Mac-e-verse in 2009! :- “Along with the standard computer warranty agreement which said that if the machine 1) didn't work, 2) didn't do what the expensive advertisement said, 3) electrocuted the immediate neighbourhood, 4) and in fact failed entirely to be inside the expensive box when you opened it, this was expressly, absolutely, implicitly and in no event the fault or responsib...

  Good evening Squirrel Fans. A good many people feel as Hwel do - which is why so many folk run afoul of their Sat nav’s! :- “The road, Hwel felt, had to go somewhere. This geographical fiction has been the death of many people. Roads don’t necessarily have to go anywhere, they just have to have somewhere to start.” ― Terry Pratchett, Wyrd Sisters Right off to try & find a mole in the organisation … by burrowing thru the ventilation system! Catch you fab folk on the other side! Wherev...

  Good evening Squirrel Fans. For all those who ever wondered what exactly happened to sll their ballpoints :- “Somewhere in the cosmos, he said, along with all the planets inhabited by humanoids, reptiloids, fishoids, walking treeoids and superintelligent shades of the color blue, there was also a planet entirely given over to ballpoint life forms. And it was to this planet that unattended ballpoints would make their way, slipping away quietly through wormholes in space to a world where they k...

  Good evening Squirrel Fans. I need me a pair of these! :- “Joo Janta 200 Super-Chromatic Peril Sensitive Sunglasses have been specially designed to help people develop a relaxed attitude to danger. At the first hint of trouble, they turn totally black and thus prevent you from seeing anything that might alarm you.” ― Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe Right off for some more exploration of the galaxy. It’s nice having a decent sized ship but I have discovered that even...

  Good evening Squirrel Fans. Romeo & Juliet eat your hearts out! :- “The disc's greatest lovers were undoubtedly Mellius and Gretelina, whose pure, passionate and soul-searing affair would have scorched the pages of History if they had not, because of some unexplained quirk of fate, been born two hundred years apart on different continents. However, the gods took pity on them and turned him into an ironing board** and her into a small brass bollard. **When you're a god, you don&#...

  Good evening Squirrel Fans. I was reminded of this quote when my watch failed to charge overnight - of for the halcyon days of clockwork watches! :- “I'm trying to remember how you tell the time by looking at the sun." -"I should leave it for a while, it's too bright to see the numbers at the moment.” ― Terry Pratchett, The Last Continent Right, still chasing down that pirate gang - got sidetracked by a side mission to help some settlers - interestingly it seems, by sheer c...

  Good evening Squirrel Fans. Tonight’s quote applies to CDs too it seems - I had a bit of a tidy up & found far more Queen albums than I actually remember ever buying! :- All tapes left in a car for more than about a fortnight metamorphose into Best of Queen albums.” ― Terry Pratchett, Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch Right hot on the trail of the person who commissioned the theft of a ship that was used to terrorise a farmer! Life is never dull in Star...

  Good evening Squirrel Fans. I am definitely one of the ‘Jeremys’ of this world! Oh by the by has anyone seen my copy of “The Introverts guide to throwing Soirees” ? :- “Jeremy tried to be an interesting person. The trouble was that he was the kind of person who, having decided to be an interesting person, would first of all try to find a book called How to Be An Interesting Person and then see whether there were any courses available.” ― Terry Pratchett, Thief of Time Right off to sell so...

  Good evening Squirrel Fans. My nightmares naturally run along the line of mutant nuts & occasionally mutant nutters! “Nightmares are usually rather daft things and it’s very hard to explain to a listener what was so dreadful about your socks coming alive or giant carrots jumping out of the hedgerows.”” ― Terry Pratchett, Eric Right off to actually finish one of the quests I have lurking - it has to be said that Starfield plays to my ADHD something wicked - oooooh look, an abandoned ind...

  Good evening Squirrel Fans. I though I would help all those folk who are confused as to what is so important about the number 42 :- “42, the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe and Everything. This Answer was first calculated by the supercomputer Deep Thought after seven and a half million years of thought. This shocking answer resulted in the construction of an even larger supercomputer, named Earth, which was tasked with determining what the question was in the first plac...

  Good evening Squirrel Fans. This takes me back to when I worked in datacentre Installations & on a trip to the tape library I found one of the onsite computer engineers fixing one of the old style reel to reel tape drives with sellotape & a couple of elastic bands! :- “And this ‘rebooting’ business? Give it a good kicking, do you?” “Oh, no, of course, we…that is…well, yes, in fact,” said Ponder. “Adrian goes round the back and…er…prods it with his foot. But in a technical way,” he ad...

  Good evening Squirrel Fans. I’m not often political but I read this & the orange oaf came to mind :- “Winners never talk about glorious victories. That’s because they’re the ones who see what the battlefield looks like afterward. It’s only the losers who have glorious victories.” ― Terry Pratchett, Small Gods Ok off to try & clear a bounty off my head I picked up smuggling some contraband …. Oopsies! Catch you folks on the otherside! Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, I h...

  Good evening Squirrel Fans. It has to be said that, given how hot the last few nights have been, dark forces have more than likely been at home with a cold beer! :- “Just because it’s a mild night doesn’t mean that dark forces aren’t abroad. They’re abroad all the time. They’re everywhere. They always are. That’s the whole point.” ― Terry Pratchett, Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch Right off to explore the galaxy, see you fab folk on the morrow! Wherever...

• Post #3328337

  Good evening Squirrel Fans. I remember a member of the Flat Earth Society admitting that Mars & the other planets were spheres! :- “The Disc, being flat, has no real horizon. Any adventurous sailors who got funny ideas from staring at eggs and oranges for too long and set out for the antipodes soon learned that the reason why distant ships sometimes looked as though they were disappearing over the edge of the world was that they were disappearing over the edge of the world. “ Terry Prat...

  Good evening Squirrel Fans. We have neighbours like this … but they are selling up so here’s hoping we strike lucky with the next lot! :- “Neighbours . . . hah! But what did that mean? The Watch could tell you a thing or two about neighbours. So could lawyers, especially the real rich ones to whom ‘neighbour’ meant a man who’d sue for twenty years over a strip of garden two inches wide.” ― Terry Pratchett, Jingo Right back off to the virtual Milky Way, I am at the very edge of inhabited spa...

  Good evening Squirrel Fans. Tonights quote is posted without additonal comment from me, as I think it speaks for itself:- “They do what they’re told, they tend to believe the last thing they heard, they’re not bright enough to ask questions, and they have that certain unshakeable loyalty available to those unencumbered by too much intelligence.” ― Terry Pratchett, Jingo Off to more adventures in the Milky Way, catch you fab folk on the morrow! Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, I ho...

  Good evening Squirrel Fans. I do like the imagery of this quote! :- “In a distant and secondhand set of dimensions, in an astral plane that was never meant to fly, the curling star-mists waver and part… See… Great A’Tuin the turtle comes, swimming slowly through the interstellar gulf, hydrogen frost on his ponderous limbs, his huge and ancient shell pocked with meteor craters.” ― Terry Pratchett, The Color of Magic Right off to see if I can make some headway in the virtual Milky Way that is...

  Good evening Squirrel Fans. This is just one of those quotes that makes me smile :- “It might have interested Newt to know that, of the thirty-nine thousand women tested with the pin during the centuries of witch-hunting, twenty-nine thousand said “ouch,” nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine didn’t feel anything because of the use of the aforesaid retractable pins, and one witch declared that it had miraculously cleared up the arthritis in her leg.” ― Terry Pratchett, Good Omens: The...
