    Haha - actually it was nearly two big fat beauties. The second one, however, was less 'robust' and snapped in half upon exit...

    My dog is master of king sized dumps. They could double as tank traps!
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Im quite jealous of the way dogs can plonk their arses on the floor and drag themselves along with their front legs. If I could do that the world would seem a much better place. I'd do it after every dump too.

    “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!”

    Ah yes, that's what's commonly known as the 'jobby dance'!

    Obviously one of the areas where the Scottish education system is better than the English, we never get to learn such things.

    I believe that Andrex are running a road show this week in Lowestoft, with live demonstrations on how to 'wipe, not swipe'... Might be worth a look?

    I rather liked their advertising slogan: "Andrex - waging the war against skidders".

    Well something is going on because I can now sit down and really enjoy a lengthy Opera On some days I can only cope with Classical music to relax. I never really thought I would say that

    This forum doesnt help with statements like all equipment which predates 1990 must go in the past masters or "Vintage" section. My idea of vintage is somewhere between the Benz Patent Motor Car and the War

    I dont even have to remember as far back as some of you. Ive started to sound like the four Yorkshiremen if I mention power cuts in the 1970s. The youngsters think its another bloody world
