    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!”

    Cheers for the tea and sympathy guys, my chin is up though, in fact both of them are Doesn't do to dwell on mistakes, that kind of distraction just sets you up for more mistakes! You're probably right Grant, maybe my "work head" wasn't screwed on properly due to inactivity.

    Another bright and sunny morning, and Alexa says it's currently 14C, with an expected high of 24C. Not sure if it's too breezy to sit outside, but I have devised a method to determine the windiness. I put an opened bag of crisps on the garden table then go inside to make a cup of coffee. If I return to find the crisps all over the garden then it's too windy.

    I know what your thinking - with all the windy weather we've been having it could get expensive, but by switching from Walker's to Morrisons own brand crisps, I'm making substantial savings. I'm not as daft as I look, see

    I suspect results will vary with the brand of crisp. A heavier crisp, such as McCoy's, will be less susceptible to higher windspeeds, whereas a light crisp, say Discos, far more so.

    Do they still make Discos? Not seen them in years. Not that I'm bothered, never liked them anyway. A girl's crisp.

    You also need to study the effect of wind shear on the shape of the crisp, I'd theorise that a square crisp would offer more resistance to wind and therefore be more affected. And then you need to compare crinkle-cut to smooth.

    I like crisps.

    Could you get away with using Twiglets?
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
