    “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.”

    Absolutely, although if I'd been old enough to appreciate it, I'd love to have seen it in the 60s or 70s

    Justers, did you visit here at all: https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/parque-lage

    Looks like it'd be a cool place to spend some time.

    Marco.

    Cheers Marco. I'm ready for this break, retirement is so tiring.

    (and if anyone was worried I managed to decide on just 7 watches to take with me. I may well bring 8 back though )

    Yes, I find that too... Deciding on which pub to go to for lunch can be so stressful......!

    Take plenty of pics when you're there and tell me what the coconuts, pineapples and bananas taste like!

    Anyway, Justers, next time you fancy South America for a holiday, check out Cuba and tell me what it's like: https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Guide-...4519-Cuba.html

    Now *that* has always been one place I've loved to visit!

    Just stating the facts to clear up any miscomprehension implied by your post, dude, that's all.
