I am currently savouring every single page of @cstrossCharlie Stross newest and last Laundry novel "The Regicide Report".
I can't describe the joy I get from little gems like this hat tip to Douglas Adams:

We pass … a room labelled PLANS AND RECORDS (to which some wag has added a sign saying BEWARE OF THE LEOPARD) …

Thank you, Charlie !!!! πŸ₯° ❀️

Mr Prosser: But, Mr Dent, the plans have been available in the local planning office for the last nine months. Arthur: Oh yes, well as soon as I heard I went straight round to see them, yesterday afternoon. You hadn’t exactly gone out of your way to call attention to them had you? I mean like actually telling anybody or anything. Mr Prosser: But the plans were on display… Arthur: On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them. Mr Prosser: That’s the display department. Arthur: With a torch. Mr Prosser: The lights had probably gone out. Arthur: So had the stairs. Mr Prosser: But look, you found the notice, didn’t you? Arthur: Yes yes I did. It was on display at the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying beware of the leopard.
