    “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.”

    never a good day for that. I was actually looking for a pic I saw a couple of years ago of some NFL event, where one of the cheerleaders had pooed her pants a bit, poor girl. But quite inoffensive. That one didn't seem so bad till I posted it Then I couldn't for some reason delete the whole post. A nosey nellie like Marco was never going to let an incomplete post pass him by so I had to re-post just to shut him up

    Apologies for spoiling anyone's dinner.

    Lol - you're a very bad man, but I like that, so I'll let you off!

    Actually, Del's got a Hooters outfit she wears sometimes to fancy dress parties, which is on a similar theme, but she wouldn't spoil it with dirty knickers!

    Anyway:


    Just been to local Tesco to get some bottled water (cheap way of getting spring water for my home brew - gives better flavour than chlorinated tap water) - Still seems to be a shortage, shelves pretty much empty of water

    Even more worrying (for me), I managed to get the last box of Carr's table water - finest biscuit for cheeses in my opinion, no need for fatty/flakey/flavoured (I do like a bit of alliteration ) "biscuits for cheese".
    Keep your eyes peeled folks - Christmas wouldn't be the same without Carr's table water.

    No problem at all at the petrol station though.

    seem to be in stock here, so maybe just run out. yup bottled water is in short supply due to lack of drivers

    Reassuring about the Carrs Grant - I seem to remember they had a fire a couple of years ago and there weren't any table water for a few months, so I get panicky

    If stored for a while, mineral water has to be kept in the dark otherwise light makes the trace amounts of natural algae start multiplying and you get green sediment.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
