He pushed his hot food barrow through streets broad and narrow, crying:
‘Sausages! Hot sausages! Inna bun! Meat pies! Get them while they’re hot!’"

Finished Men At Arms last night. Found it very slow & hard to keep my attention. I wasn't eager to get to bed to read it like I was with most of the others.
Onto the next one anyway. Moving Pictures was the only one available on BorrowBox so I downloaded that.

1: Sourcery
2: Wyrd Sisters
3: Guards Guards (play) ❌️
4: The Light Fantastic
5: Mort
6: Reaper Man
7: Equal Rites
8: Men at Arms
9: Moving Pictures

He could think in *italics*. Such people need watching.

Preferably from a safe distance.

Eine (weitere) Neuauflage der alten Geschichte um He-Man, Skeletor und den Kampf um Eternia. All die bekannten Charaktere sind mit dabei: Teela, Beastman, Orko, Battlecat, Man-at-Arms, etc.
Es gibt teilweise etwas andere Originstorys, hier und da wurde etwas verändert, aber grundsätzlch bleibt es beim Bekannten.

I came across this rather accurate #quote from Terry Pratchett's "Men at Arms" #Discworld novel again:

«The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.

Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.

But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.

This was the Captain Samuel Vimes ‘Boots’ theory of socioeconomic unfairness.»"
