    “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!”

    The last tree disappeared from a neighbouring cul de sac about 10 years ago - now virtually every garden there has been dug up to make way for a hard standing. The grass verges are vanishing as well.

    This is going to cause trouble. I think Spain have made a big mistake.

    He made a big mistake taking on the Russians in the first place. Those boys play for keeps. I know he lost a few quid but he should have chalked that up to experience. He's out of his depth now.

    Just been sat out in the garden watching the bats. Missus thinks I'm a bit mental, being fascinated by these 'ugly little freaks. I think they are another of nature's 'cool dudes', quietly getting on with it. Perfectly evolved to their chosen job.

    Unlike humans, whose evolution has done no more than grow a bigger brain. In fact as the centuries pass, we become more and more suited to staying indoors.

    Last summer the cat brought a bat into the house. How the hell she caught it I don't know.
    I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

    Got up a bit early this morning (like old folks do) to spray some Nippon wasp nest destroying foam at this nest which seems to be inside the soffit by the front door. I gave it a blast for about 10 seconds, then quickly ducked back inside.

    I don't have to leave the house for another 3 or 4 hours, hopefully they will have forgiven me by then All the same, I think I'll leave by the back door.

    Wow, you were up early, I was listening to LBC at that time.

    I used some Nippon stuff to clear a wasps nest many years ago, it worked, no further trouble.
