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!”

When I see adverts for the latest 4K TV's on my Panasonic plasma, the picture looks amazing. Why would I ever change it?
I think these advertisers are shooting themselves in the foot, or maybe they just think I'm stupid.

Boring people who trap you into a conversation at inappropriate moments when Im just wanting my own space. I say conversation but its just inane small talk and usually all about them. They have no sense of keeping it light and interesting
I was just wolfing down a donner and chips after a Tescos shopping trip and this guy starts talking to me after I returned a quip about whether Im enjoying it. Suddenly Im getting all the boring detail about his visit to some Dim Sum restaurant in London. (Are we friends now as the awkward wind down starts....dont leave me
Im thinking jog on pal and how do I get out of this. Maybe the guy is lonely but I always get em just like I get the nutter in the pub. A bit of eye contact and Im getting the full run down on his last army tour...but if I mention the Queens name in vain I'm dead meat...I'm in his world now but I remain polite as I'm getting insulted and bored to tears. Really its time to rush the pint and leave
Im fed up with it and I must have a look that attracts them. At least I have the decency to keep it online so you can skip over it

I don't have that problem. I manage to look pretty hostile most of the time, so people generally don't try to engage me in conversation, thank goodness. If they do, I just give a non-commital grunt and turn my back on them. Works a treat!

You can get away with that down south. Up north pointless banter with strangers is accepted practice. Required practice in fact.I don't have that problem.

Yeah I dont mind a bit of light banter if he keeps walking. Im not in his way and hes already starting silly openers about whether I am enjoying the sort of snack thats only designed to fill a hole.
Rules are rules with banter and up to the third meeting as Micky Flanagan jokes about. A smile and a nod is fine thanks. Im not intending to open an opportunity so he can stop and bore the life out of me

He he, One of Mickey Flanagan's funniest stories. Do you end up peeping round the curtains to check they're not out there?
I too have what they call a "hostile resting face", so tend to be left alone. The downside is that I get people saying, "what's up? you look really fed up". Better that though, than a stupid half-smiley face like say, Tony Blair. My arm would never get tired punching that clock.

Yeah if I put on the poker face some clown tells me to cheer up it may never happen. I think I had my poker face on and a mouth full of donner meat when this guy starts on me.
Yes I end up peeping round the curtains because if Ive bumped into someone three times already, there is no banter for the fourth meeting...it just isnt done as I would have to ignore them and it could get hostile
Its an interesting comment on human nature though. Im quite a private person but can handle a bit of friendly chat as long as they arent boring my socks off. My worst fear is being stuck in a nursing home with people I cant relate to
