    “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!”

    Surely that's "normal" weather for January isn't it?

    If only.

    We have the same dark, damp and very cold weather we have had for months. I have never known such a gloomy Autumn and Winter, ever. We had a few hours of Sun on Christmas day and not a trace of it since.

    Thought I'd put the thermometer in the kitchen just to see what the deal was - it's 7c in there.

    Most kitchens don't have space for a radiator (ours doesn't), and if (as is the case with many old terraced houses) the kitchen is in a single storey extension, it's even worse. You'll have to take up baking.

    It's just an outhouse really. I had it double glazed which helps a bit. There's a fan heater in there which I use if I'm in there a while.

    Only another 6 weeks before the crocuses. After that, there is hope.

    I think the Bard of Stratford said that.

    It's often the roof insulation (or lack of) that's the problem. If ceiling height allows, putting in a false ceiling with plenty of insulation will help a lot. And isn't expensive to do.

    Depends on the layout. Our kitchen certainly isn't big, but we have a full-sized radiator on one of the walls. Don't think it's ever been switched on, though... When the wood burner next door is roaring away, the heat filters through into the kitchen, and then when the oven's on, well... You could grow tomatoes in there!

    With no heating on whatsoever in the kitchen (and those 'draughty old windows', lol) it's currently 17C, and like Grant's gaff, 22C in the lounge, and that's only with about two small logs and three bits of coal burning...

    Marty, you need to invest in some proper heating! No wonder you're not roasting during the summer months, despite you being nearer the hills, as your house is naturally like a bloody fridge!
