    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!”

    Cheese on toast (Edam on granary) as I'd had a large chow mein for lunch.

    Sounds great, Barry. So was that enjoyed at home, or in a restaurant, and if it was the former, who did the cooking?

    I can honestly say I doubt that anything I've eaten today has had significant nutritional value. Must do better.

    Hmm. Had chicken salad in a granary roll lunchtime. Followed by an apple and coffee.

    Got fish in the oven at the moment, nothing special, just Birds Eye pollack in breadcrumbs (which I like). Oiled sweet potato slices baking too and spinach to go with those.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
