    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!”

    At least you've got some green stuff. Mine's gone! I got so fed up with the weeds, I weedkillered everything in the flowerbeds apart from a couple of tall roses. Still got lawns to mow though.

    Fighting a losing battle with stuff coming through from the rain forest next door, every handful of stuff I picked up had brambles in it, some of it like barbed wire.

    Sorry Roy, I thought 'Conifer corner' looked better in the 'before' picture. Looks more like a 'Muller Corner now. Maybe it just needs a few days to grow into its new look.

    Sometimes things look better with some growth. A few years ago I worked with a young lad who had this weird hairstyle which made his head the shape of a lightbulb, and I constantly took the mickey. One day he came into work having shaved it all off. And you know what? His head was still the shape of a lightbulb. I felt so sorry for him I never took the mickey again, apart from criticising his sawing skills by asking him if he was sure he was left handed and had he ever tried using his right hand.

    He grew into quite an angry young man. I think it was more to do with the poor wages than his head shape.
    I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

    T/T: Inspire Monarch, X200 tonearm, Ortofon Quintet Blue. Phono: Project Tube Box CD: Marantz CD6006 (UK Edition); Amp: Musical Fidelity A5 Integrated.
    Speakers: Zu Omen Def, REL T9i subwoofer. Cables: Atlas Equator interconnects, Atlas Hyper 3.0 speaker cables

    T'other system:
    Echo Dot, Amptastic Mini One,Arcam A75 integrated, Celestion 5's, BK XLS-200 DF

    A/V:
    LG 55" OLED, Panasonic Blu Ray, Sony a/v amp, MA Radius speakers, REL Storm sub

    Forget the past, it's gone. And don't worry about the future, it doesn't exist. There is only NOW.

    Yes I did go in a bit hard but I’m sure it’ll soon recover, was getting me monies worth out of councils green bin collection as I pay extra for that.

    Since the council brought a fee in for collection of garden waste, what I can't take to the tip gets burnt! (bugger the neighbours )

    This is the current burn pile. About half a ton! Mostly Ivy chopped off adjoining walls and fences. I may start on it this afternoon.
