    Not sure that's true - a couple of days ago I cycled down to Stoke with a view to buying some JBL speakers Macca was selling. It was a long slog, especially as my mountain bike has chunky tyres. When I got there I found that the speakers were HUGE, and no way could I carry them on my push bike. Macca had no sympathy, saying I should have checked the dimensions before setting off. So I had to cycle back to Chorley empty handed, and with a punctured front tyre.

    Oh hang on, it was a dream. What the bleedin' hell's Macca doing in my dreams? I think this forum's addling me brains.

    By the way, the JBL's sounded awesome.
    I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

    That's all complete bollocks except it's true I would have had no sympathy.

    The baffles were that JBL blue, they had eight very big drivers each and were the size of American fridges. I bet your neighbours love you

    Yeah, being "in limbo" has got to be a killer for staff morale.

    I'm going in this morning to but a record to show my support. Nah, I was going in anyway!

    was at mam leisure when they(Chrysalis) called time on them. no other reason than it wasnt profitable enough in some regions. they started selling the unprofitable ones and found they liked the cash so closed the whole thing, making loads redundant.
    thats the unmoral side of big business. bastards

    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!”
