    upgraded------ I've been fucking about with it

    stunning------ I'm prone to exaggeration

    Hi-Fi------ it makes a noise

    requires minor attention------ parts no longer avaiable

    genuine original------ outdated

    celebrity owned------ so I'm asking a grand more than it's worth

    single speaker------ where's the other one then?

    bargain------ but dearer than the other dozen on offer

    virtually unused------ nobody can figure out how it works

    job lot------ I do house clearance

    amazing------ pretty average

    sort after------ I can't spell and don't know what I'm talking about

    retro------ it has imitation wood on it

    pre owned------ he's probably a used car dealer

    amplifire------ I still can't spell

    vintage------ old and knackered

    you will not find better------ oh yes I will

    Maybe, but asking £650 for a pair of Goodmans Maxims is ludicrous (see his other items). There was a time when you couldn't even give the damn things away. They are not very good anyway.

    They're trying it on to see if they can benefit from the ludicrous prices that LS3/5As now fetch.

    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!”

    Dominated by the Michelin tyre factory.

    I've been to Condom in France, but I didn't see a prophylactic factory there.
