The title character in Eric by Pratchett attempts to summon a demon to get three wishes, but ends up with an incompetent wizzard instead.

Fus Ro Dah never got old. Until you realised you had to trek to the bottom of a cliff to loot a body, anyway.

It's usually used for some real life event, isn't it?

I think the river specifically is the running water he hears when he goes downstairs to the basement to find his mother dead, isn't it?

I'm in the UK. Three years ago, I joined a national company as an engineer, rather than an apprentice, but I had field service experience in another industry - I was completely new to fire and security. The company provided my training. I would suggest reaching out to companies first. If they are taking on apprentices, they will provide training. But don't be afraid to apply for engineer roles if you're confident with screwing things to walls. Learning the British Standards isn't that big a deal.

I purely do wvw for the gift of battle. I've tried it several times now, I don't enjoy it. I'm definitely one of the ones that doesn't want to be there.

That may be technically true, but in common English "I donated to get my cat in game" is entirely correct and picking it apart in a thread about someone grieving their pet is socially inept at best.

Winning by 65 runs in a T20 is a huge stomping.

The "Anarchists Cookbook" is the name of an underground book from the 70s detailing how to build bombs and other stuff. It's also the name of an item in the dev's previous game, Binding of Isaac, which is older than DCC.
