    Very Nice looking deck grant, I think Imight have asked this before ages ago but is that a light in the background? If so where did you get it? Looks quite interesting.

    Honestly, I really don't have any problems with it. It's sturdy as a concrete bunker and simply works day in day out with no hassles. Sound is lovely, and maintenance is minimal, I love it sez I.

    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 love the Funk Saffire too in a picture like that. I guess you have to have the home furnishings to match. It always looks to me like a deep space mining colony in star wars. And I can hear my mum saying "and who's going to dust it then"?

    But a fabulous deck - I could listen to it all day. As long as somebody else dusts it!

    I hadn't realised anyone else on this place had even seen one, never mind heard one and owned one. I'm not as alone as I thought
