    You'd think in this day and age that technology could remove the anonymity that internet trolls and bullies enjoy, but what do I know?

    I personally find it easier to talk to folk via this laptop than face to face with actual human beings, but that's just my shy nature and I would never disrespect anyone, whether in person or otherwise. We all deserve better than that.

    I say that trolls deserve a good beating with the wet end of their own severed arm, and if I ever came face to face with one I'd deny ever saying that

    Bloody hell Marco, thanks for that - the phone hasn't stopped ringing! Most of the missed calls are coming from Southall, West London, and I don't know anyone who lives there.

    That's funny, the same thing has been happening to me and the caller must be just around the corner.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Description fits me to a tee - I wouldn't have much to say because I've said it all on here. Maybe I need to start making up stories, and save some for Cranage

    No, you've clearly got more of a personality than that! If you were a bland, boring bastard, I wouldn't have entertained engaging with you!

    In real life I'm a shy and retiring, socially awkward nerd with low self-esteem, who's completely lacking in self-confidence - and on top of that I'm a joyless prude, so if we meet, don't dare say so much as 'bum', in front of me, or I'll be so offended

    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!”
