    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!”

    The series I was thinking about with Maggie Bell singing the theme, was called "Hazell", starring Pamela Stevenson's ex hubby Nicholas Ball. I remember that being quite good too, but may not have stood the test of time. Funny how songs can be timeless, while TV programmes can date so quickly.

    I remember Hazell but I was only a kid at the time. Terry Venables was one of the writers.

    I remember he ended up bedding some fit bird in every show. There was a flag Man United fans had that said 'Stuart Pearson scores more than James Hazell'.

    Yeah he did alright with the birds, but in real life his wasn't big enough to keep Pamela from the Big Yin.

    Last Saturday's 'Pick of the Pops' was a treat for me- it was this week in 1972. The top 20 included 'John I'm Only Dancing', 'Children Of The Revolution', 'Elected', 'In A Broken Dream' and 'How Can I Be Sure' (!) Yes really.

    Not a fan of David Cassidy, but I think it's a great song, although at fourteen I would rather have eaten dog vomit than admit to liking it. Another guilty pleasure I suppose.

    Yeah it's the weird way he says "Born". People from Burnley talk like that.

    A guilty pleasure and an 'ear worm' are not necessarily the same thing, just sometimes.

    Driving up the M6 yesterday I had "The Race" by Yello rattling round my head. Nowt wrong with Yello, but this was 100 miles. Had to exorcise it with "Pocket Universe" when I got home.

    No mention of ABBA yet? Most amazing output, so clever musically and lyrically - especially considering English was not their mother tongue. Always preferred the blonde one but the girls were quite nice too.
    I have a cd of covers by 'The Real Abba' which I actually prefer to the originals but that's probably because my grand-daughters have them on permanent repeat play in the car!
