I don't remember much about the book of #ThiefOfTime by Sir #TerryPratchett (GNU), but FFS... It really feels like someone is stealing it.

Pale yellow square background with black art nouveau border and text reading "National Milk Day" Below it sits a drawing of a glass and pitcher filled with milk
It's National Milk Day!
In Thief of Time we discover that the Disc has an incredibly competent milkman - but what's his name? Bonus question: What is is surname an anagram for?

Stock background image with a out of focus clock and an in focus hourglass. The image is overlaid with a quote: "Just a minute," said Lobsang. "Who are you? Time has stopped, the world is given over to...fairy tales and monsters, and there's a schoolteacher walking around?" "Best kind of person to have," said Susan. "We don't like silliness. Anyway, I told you. I've inherited certain talents." "Like living outside of time?" "That's one of them." "It's a weird talent for a schoolteacher!" "Good for marking, though," said Susan calmly. Terry Pratchett, Thief of Time

There was something pleasant about an empty classroom. Of course, as any teacher would point out, one nice thing was that there were no children in it, and particularly no Jason.

“No, they’re a substition,” said Susan. “I mean they’re real, but hardly anyone really believes in them. Mostly everyone believes in things that aren’t real. Something very strange is going on. These things are all over the place, and they’ve got bodies. That’s not right. We’ve got to find the person who built the clock—” “And, er, what are you, Miss Susan?” “Me? I’m…a schoolteacher.” She followed his gaze to the wrench that she still held in her hand, and shrugged. “It can get pretty rough at break time, can it?” said Lobsang.

“It makes you wonder if there is anything to astrology after all.’ ‘Oh, there is,’ said Susan. ‘Delusion, wishful thinking and gullibility.”

“Oh,” he said, and added with sudden certainty, “you’re Death, right?” YES. I AM SORRY THAT I AM LATE. The spirit formerly known as Shoblang looked down at the pile of dust that represented his worldly habitation for the previous six hundred years. “So am I,” he said. He nudged Death in the ribs. EXCUSE ME? “I said ‘I’m sorry I’m late.’ Badabingbadaboom.” I BEG YOUR PARDON? “Er…you know…sorry I’m late. Like…dead?” Death nodded. OH, I SEE. IT WAS THE BADABINGBADABOOM I DID NOT UNDERSTAND. “Er…that was to show it was a joke,” said Shoblang. AH, YES. I CAN SEE HOW THAT WOULD BE NECESSARY. IN FACT, MR. SHOBLANG, WHILE YOU ARE LATE, YOU ARE ALSO EARLY. BADABING-BADABOOM.

Susan stopped. Of course someone would be that stupid. Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying "End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH," the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.

A chocolate you did not want to eat does not count as chocolate. This discovery is from the same branch of culinary physics that determined that food eaten while walking along contains no calories. — Susan Sto-Helit from Thief of Time by Terry Pratchett

#ThiefOfTime by #TerryPratchett.
If the Sweeper hadn't needed help in the streets of Ankh-Morpok, Ronny Soak never would have become involved like that. And Soak ended up helping far more than just a nice cup of tea with rancid yak butter.
Soak was pretty good with butter...and other things.
