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!”

I find it quite sad to reflect on the wheel like that....I think the morgue pull out slabs are on a wheel bearing
Great invention though and I wonder who made the first wheel and if it was a stone wheel. I think its in my Brooke Bond inventors and inventions album

It wasn't until the invention of the second wheel that things really started moving...

Talking of bikes, I see the local 'bike sharing' scheme is off to a flying start.
They really should have known that this was doomed. There are loan bikes bloody everywhere. Dumped at the side of the road, outside Tesco, in parks, sticking out of hedges and I even saw one being carted off by the local scrap man. Surely they didn't expect the local scumbags and yobs to have any respect for such a project?

Only a matter of time before one of these Jeremy Kyle hopefuls hits on the idea that by loosening a couple of fasteners, they can engineer an accident, then sue the local authority.

Yes I would like to see the full facts about these schemes including that one in Manchester. I have spent all my cycling life learning how safe it is to leave a bike around.
Plenty of these scumbags around and if they cant nick it they will vandalise it for something to do. There are yobs and scum who just resent the fact that I am getting around well on a bike. I keep it local as even my (dont attract the thieves) bike wouldnt last long about the city centre.
These bike share schemes sound lovely and bohemian to the sloane crowd but I really dont see them working. Its gets costly fast when bikes constantly have to be repaired or fished out of canals.
There also seem too many rules about where to leave it and its starts defeating the pupose of easily getting around by bike. If I have to deal with collection points, sharing with people or spotting an available bike it becomes very awkward and unreliable. I dont really see the casual crowd taking to it. Nice idea but deeply flawed in practice
