    A lot of Nixies. Quite pricey too.

    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!”

    Oh - the Tucker was better looking than that!

    As I expect you know the Tucker had headlights that were coupled to the steering. I still can't see the point of the third headlight on the VW.

    Me too. TBH it does look much better in the flesh.

    Third headlight is just styling over engineering I suspect. But then again it is more light.

    It's a Tatra from Czechoslovakia. A wonderful car in its day. Rear mounted air cooled V8 engine. Highly sought after!!
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Around for some 157 million years, these fellas are just hanging around waiting for us to go extinct. So show them some respect.

    They apparently all own reference quality hi-fi systems that they all keep completely schtum about. So don't you go letting on.

    Shit. That mobile shoots a pretty good video as shown on the LG OLED I have at home. The turtles & TEAC look amazing, so enough light and it does good. Falls short on stills, though. And shame about the mic. But £400 quid Chinese mobiles aren't bad now, in this case a OnePlus 3T. The silly good spec beats Google Pixel and Apple iPhones at half the price. Recommended.

    Anyway, more media Monday evening,
