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!”

I live for today....Well there you go'Living the dream" is a phrase that I never use. We just do what we can with what we have, and be happy with that. Some will gripe and moan about their lot, but like you I tend to avoid them.
I NEVER moan about my 'lot' but I'm pretty sure a lot of peeps going through what I am would though
I guess I've got a 'sunny disposition' ... unless I'm depressed
Come on Steve make me chuckle.... I've missed the humour

No sign of 'panic buying' here in London, though I did notice several items sold out in my local Co-op (mostly 'ready meals', of which I have little need).
Fortunately we buy all our fruit and veg fresh from a greengrocer, and there are no shortages of any of that to be seen. Meat is always bought fresh from a butcher.
I suspect it is only in supermarkets where people go for the convenience of a "one stop shop", where you will see shortages; and of course with the fulfilment of orders by delivery companies.

I agree on all counts, and our food buying habits are largely the same, so really won't be affected by any shortages. However, until the shortage in CO2 is resolved, look out for pubs running out of beer!

Then I shall drink bottled beer.
As an aside, we popped into a pub this lunchtime for a beer and was saddened to learn that a lot of the pubs in London are no longer serving draught beer. It seems that these pubs are 'managed' and the staff either too lazy or ignorant to keep and look after the beers; so it's either lagers on tap or bottled beer. They blame it all on Covid, but I noticed the trend occurring before the pandemic started.
BTW I had a glass of Staropramen lager; which being a beautiful summer's day here today, slipped down very nicely.

Much to my disappointment, I have to avoid alcohol these days for medical reasons. A bit disheartening really as I really enjoy a beer!
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
