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.

Sometimes I have a perfect idea... and the ability to execute it. What if you could buy Dibbler's sausages in your local grocer?

First exhibit in the Royal Signals museum: a model of a 6-bit clacks.
The one at Blandford was part of an Admiralty chain between Plymouth and Whitehall, operating in the first half of the C19th and superseded by the electric telegraph. There was also a branch to Portsmouth.
EDIT: Sceptical? Some lovely people have checked the facts for you - please see the replies. 😃

@TheBreadmonkey It's like the ever-prescient Terry Pratchett's Dis-Organiser on steroids
"Good morning, Insert Name Here! How can I help you today?"

Just had a sales email with an opening line that reads "Paste company's LinkedIn here / craft icebreaker." and then an insult.
Excellent salesing, you fucking gibbon.

@brucelawson I wonder if this is where Terry Pratchett got the name from for the unusually nasty (for his books) secret police organization the "Cable Street Particulars" in the book "Night Watch"
@anji @brucelawson “Cable Street Particulars” came from “Baker Street Irregulars”, apparently (see the Annotated Pratchett File, under “Maskerade”).
Cable Street itself may be named for London’s Cable Street, but who knows.

Years ago I bought an interactive map & guide to Anhk-Morpork, very impressive, with both a map and an aerial view up to the last detail. The app never updated and soon become incompatible, big loss. I dismantled it and recovered the 23766 tiles of 256x256 pixels each that composed the two images. I've been slowly rebuilding the aerial one into a giant 24064 x 16896 px image. Already 3/4 done. I intend to print a great poster for my studio. Detail is insane. #GNUTerryPratchett#DiscWorld
