    If it was banned, I would applaud and support the decision wholeheartedly.

    Until then, I’m afraid I always have it if it’s on the menu as I absolutely adore it.

    First time using fresh yeast, and whilst the shape of the rolls looks a bit odd, the taste and texture is fantastic.
    That said, theres 3 fresh (today) egg yolks in there and more than a spoon full of honey and an obscene amount of butter.

    It was bought for me, so there was not much I could do. But I did say that in future, liver paté would be preferred.

    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!”
