    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!”

    If these 'locals' want to die, then let them get on with it. Nothing of value is lost when some prat dies.

    Interesting... It couldn't be more different round here, mate! Total opposite. It's like 'The Land That Time Forgot', in terms of activity, or the distinct lack of it.

    Had mine done beginning of February. They installed about five inches of synthetic artery apparently, needless to say, I didn't see it .

    I was lucky to survive after three strokes, the last and worst one, while I was being operated on I'm told. I was paralysed on the right when I woke up and couldn't even walk, but recovered amazingly quickly though and have been back to near enough 'normal' for a while fortunately.

    Hope you keep improving, I expect you'll be just fine!

    Wow, you were lucky, my op was triggered by a couple of microstrokes, second one had me going to the doc. They were great, everything organised within a week.
    I thought I was having stents put in, nope, scraped artery. 86% blocked.

    I apparently lost 95% of blood flow through the artery. I'd known something was wrong for a while, as I was losing the ability to think. By the time I carted myself off to the doctor, I couldn't even figure out how to turn my PC on, let alone use it!

    Needless to say I ended up in hospital almost immediately.

    Lets hope we keep making progress..........It would be nice to enjoy getting a bit drunk down the pub again!

    Not much chance of that while this Covid-19 crap keeps up!!

    I hadn't really thought about it, but I've realised I can't remember the last time I used cash to pay for anything. Been ordering it all online.

    I got paid cash on a couple of jobs just before the lockdowm, went straight to the Post office to pay it in, washed my hands straight away. Cash must surely be an excellent virus carrier, along with card keypads and petrol pumps.
    I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

    T/T: Inspire Monarch, X200 tonearm, Ortofon Quintet Blue. Phono: Project Tube Box CD: Marantz CD6006 (UK Edition); Amp: Musical Fidelity A5 Integrated.
    Speakers: Zu Omen Def, REL T9i subwoofer. Cables: Atlas Equator interconnects, Atlas Hyper 3.0 speaker cables

    T'other system:
    Echo Dot, Amptastic Mini One,Arcam A75 integrated, Celestion 5's, BK XLS-200 DF

    A/V:
    LG 55" OLED, Panasonic Blu Ray, Sony a/v amp, MA Radius speakers, REL Storm sub

    Forget the past, it's gone. And don't worry about the future, it doesn't exist. There is only NOW.
