    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!”

    Inclined to agree Al. Went to three today (05:00 start!), and all I bought was a couple of CDs a couple of LPs and a paperback copy of Aesop's Fables. Total expenditure £4.00; hardly worth the petrol.

    Were it not for my GF being such a boot sale fanatic, I would knock it on the head.

    Ummm, nice haul Alan - especially the Roxy Music, Tina Turner Shirley Bassey and the Previn 'The Planets'.

    All I came back with was a double CD of Howlin' Wolf for 50p. Too many LPs, which attracted my attention, were simply not in a sufficiently good condition to warrent the asking price.

    Interesting.

    I havent been to a car boot sale or outdoor sale in ages. The bigger ones are at Styal and Chelford round here. I have never seen anything electrical really worth having. I worry that I wouldnt even know if it powers up unless Im looking for a restoration project

    I prefer to shop on the online sites.

    I had a chance of buying a NAD 320BEE and 521CD player at the charity shop for £12. I hummed and hawed because they were in iffy cosmetic condition covered in thick dust with a ring of rubbed plastic round the volume knob etc.....probably my mistake that but I didnt feel like another clean up project and they were just the wrong side of something that looked cared for

    I see very little of interest in the charity shops now....no interesting vinyl or anything.

    I pop in very occasionally if passing

    Went and sold at my local boot sale today and it was a sad occasion as it was its last day - it's closing after 32 years as the council have purchased the land to build houses.

    Saw a few interesting bits - nice Yamaha integrated amplifier, an Akai preamp and a pair of Mission 702e speakers but nothing worth getting particularly excited about. In fact, the best stuff was on my stall and I sold most of it!

    Only two I saw today i felt like taking a punt on, the Erroll Garner is pretty good, the chevalier record...will probaly go in the next cull, its a bit twee for my liking.





    My best find recently is that mission CD, cant find any real info about it on the web though, only a lesser version that I presume came with the gramaphone magazine, this one is mint too.
