    Once apon a time people would have sex on a rug in front of a fire. Later on when coal fires were replaced with central heating systems, they might have had sex in front of the TV instead. Now with Garry's set-up you can do both!

    “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 won't elaborate on where I may or may not have done it (and got caught). But I did have a van with notches filed into the door handle. Funny thing is, my mate had a van too and he called his 'the fuck truck'!

    Oh is that what sex is? I thought they were wrestling!

    Yes, I thought Glenda Jackson attractive when she appeared in those Ken Russell films.

    As a boy back yonder we used to toast our bread in front of a coal fire and it was LUBBLY. Pretty basic mind just a fork shoved through the bread
    but tasted so much better than using a toaster. Don't start me on the bread and dripping sandwiches me dad used to eat though, it might give the food fascists
    a heart attack !
