‘You mean heights,’ said Conina. ‘And stop being silly.’
‘I know what I mean! It’s the grounds that kill you.’”

“‘Am I alone in thinking, by the way, that it doesn’t add to the status of the University to have an ape on the faculty?’
‘Yes,’ said Ridcully flatly. ‘You are. We’ve got the only librarian who can rip off your arm with his leg. People respect that.’”

Can I just up this again? Perfect 👌
Give a man a fish and someone with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about people getting free handouts. Teach a man to fish? Yeah, that person with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about that too.

Word of the day is ‘quockerwodger’ (19th century): a puppet politician whose strings are pulled entirely by someone else.

There goes the only government minister known to read serious works of literature
(Disclaimer this is not a political post, well not that sort of political post, no need to take this as an opportunity to tell me how much you hate the minister thanks very much)

This is what this republic means and what this team represents. This is also what our flag represents. Inclusivity, welcome, heritage, peace and pride.
It is not a symbol to minimise our nation, to cause division, to stoke hatred. #COYBIG 3/ 🧵

It really has to be said that Caoimhin Kelleher played as important a role today as Troy Parrott did. A lesser keeper and 3 goals wouldn’t have been enough to win that game #speirghorm #coybig
