    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 can't remember who T-Mobile originated from now, might have been Orange. Too long ago. But Orange always had the same problem too, they broadcast on twice the wavelength of Vodafone and Cellnet so the signal did not travel well through walls. You could always spot the people who were on Orange because they'd have to run outside the pub to take a call.

    Might all be different now with your 4G and 5G, assuming you've a compatible handset, I don't know. I quit the industry in 2004 and have paid zero attention to it since then.

    With 5G though you have to have the mandatory Bill Gates microchip injected into your arm to enable you to receive the signals.

    I've always thought it a great shame that he decided to set up a charitable organisation with his billions instead of becoming a master criminal and spending the cash on a hollowed-out volcano lair with a monorail, a fleet of mini-mokes and an army of fanatically loyal troops wearing brightly coloured overalls and construction helmets. What an opportunity wasted!

    It's certainly what I would have done. The microchip plan to control the world would have been my first project. Of course it would have been foiled in the end by a plucky and resourceful MI6 agent who I have singularly failed to kill despite having the opportunity to do so on multiple occasions, preferring instead to monologue about my genius.

    But that's all part of the fun and naturally I would escape at the last minute (with my cat) and return with an even more fiendish plan (6G?) a couple of years later.

    Bet he has a decent Hi-Fi though.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Deaf or extremely sanguine. I've noted that Donald Pleasance has great difficulty in holding onto his cat in 'You Only Live Twice' and that's when he and Bond are just having a quiet conversation in the volcano lair's control room.
