    They say you can't take it with you! However, with some woodworking you might not need to buy a coffin!

    Jeez, fellas, I'm about to take early retirement at 64 and it does make me think about how much time I might have left, I don't reminding.
    I must say I am looking at thinning out possessions of all kinds, I feel if I don't now I may not be able in the future. Don't fancy being buried alive.

    make sure you have plenty of cash , we are about to have 2 parents in a care home at a total cost of around 90k a year with a very high proportion of that self funded !!!!

    ou might slip, you might slide, you might
    Stumble and fall by the road side
    But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
    Remember you're walking up to heaven

    Don't let nobody turn you around
    … Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
    Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
    And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down

    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!”

    Not me. My partner is African, and there they look after their aged parents at home. So when it all get too much. we'll decamp to Africa and live out our days there. All I'll need is a UPS so as be assured of a reliable power supply to run the hi-fi.
