    Of course that's not for everyone.

    There are ways around the WAF issues and for those blokes who care about the aesthetics. For example - first reflection points, place a couple of plants there. Maybe not quite as effective as a dedicated panel but still way better than nothing. And no woman in history has ever complained about there being more plants in the room.
    I dare not mention plants helping in a room as my living room will be turned into the Amazon jungle!

    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!”

    Well spotted Kev, didn't know you where a Mountain Biker. It is an old school bike - Cove Hummer but it is indistructable as it is an all Titanium frame. Hope dual pot hydraulic brakes and Chris King headset.

    I see your old school, and raise it with an "original" Mount Vision complete with V brakes and upgraded Fox rear shock/Marzocchi forks.

    A nice collection...

    I have an old school Pine Mountain, used to be fitted with Pace RC35 forks, but I have replaced them with Rigid forks to have a winter trainer/commuter.
    The other bike is an Orbea Onyx.
