    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!”

    Ive read here about certain carts that seem really finicky and sensitive to minute changes and think they are basically flawed. Put a heavier record on and vtf is off and sound quality changes, not for me. Been through MC carts up to £750 and now been a happy bunny with a Shure Ultra 500 for some time. Tracking force on the ultra is 1.9grms without the damper and 1.4grms with it if my memory serves me well. Not really a faff, just set at 1.9 and then use it with the damper, fantastic sound.

    Took your advice mate and ordered one, still hasn't arrived and i've been waiting 3 weeks, so that's £9.99 you owe me seriously though this is meant to be delivered from the UK, it pisses me off when ebayers disguise themselves like this claiming the item is in the UK when in actual fact it's in China

    I've had a few of them.

    What fascinates me is that we could just about cover the postage in the UK for £9.99, yet this is a product and postage all the way from China. How does that work ?

    Likewise! I contact them for a refund and tell them they are selling fraudulently. It's got such now that I always check the sellers address (despite claiming from UK somewhere) and if it's confirmed from far east I don't purchase......
