Yeah their ravioli is aceOriginally Posted by Marco
Was in M&S this morning with Del, just to get a few bits in for Hogmanay, including some Champers for toasting in the bells...
Not too busy considering. Among other things, got some of those spinach & ricotta ravioli you like (as do we) with the tomato sauce. Anyway, that's us stocked up now, so no need to go near the shops for a while

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!”

Britain's only privately owned Motorway services, IIRC.
Just before you get to the Lake district. Cumbrian Sausages and Mash and Onion gravy just hits the spot after 6 backside-numbing hours on the Coach.
