    I was working at Sunbeam Rowenta when Findus brought out Crispy Pancakes, my boss thought that these would be good for our toasters. He went and bought some, wanted to be the first to test them out, he was not impressed!

    “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!”

    My job was a very enjoyable one as Project Engineer in the R&D Dept. At some point all the products had to be tested with food, Coffee makers, sandwich toasters, deep fat fryers, grills, slow cookers, etc. etc. Of course the resultant food had to be consumed! Later, was even better, we got a Home Economist, she tested recipes, we of course had to try the food.

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

    Not if it involves eating Findus Crispy Pancakes.

    We got fed some tripe as kids (literally) but we only ever had those things once. Even the cats weren't interested in them and that's always a bad sign.

    Chips, Steaks, toasted sandwiches and coffee were great though!

    Curry flavoured anything is revolting!

    I eat tripe regularly along with pigs’ feet - Chinese recipes can make both very tasty, also pigs intestines are a delicacy in many Sichuan restaurants including one I regularly go to in Egham!
