    I check new listings each day to ensure compliance. The odd 'offender' is usually given a short period to rectify things. Or, they may need help adding images, which I don't mind doing (within reason ).
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    That can happen if in item sells quickly from a new listing. As I said, I check each day. Not all day!

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Absolutely. The thought gives me the horrors. As would mixing with the kind of folk who think 'it's all marvellous'!

    For similar money, the Orient Express appeals rather more.

    I don't enjoy mixing with holidaymakers and tourists in general and do my best to avoid the kind of places they like.

    I'd sooner trek through somewhere isolated on my own with a backpack and tent.

    Cruises are for vulgar nouveau riche-types, who think they're indulging in something 'up market'!

    On the subject of holidays, my new pet hate is when you have been with your partner for four years, but she chooses to go on holiday with her 25 year old son and you aren't invited.

    Of course it could just be jealousy, but a large part of me thinks it's very odd.
