Had a haircut today with my shaver, got none left now. Got no job either, but that's the luxury of being retired.
(not going to Glastonbury either, despite being an old hippie, sort of)

I've never been to Glastonbury either, but used to watch it on TV. I stopped watching the coverage several years ago, but intend to watch some of it again this year.

Mine too.
We had a good run of Glastonbury's in the first half of the 90s, despite the human excrement and tent thieves, but after Oasis got big it all went a bit mental. Huge capacity, ever-increasing ticket prices, and a real commercial vibe to it all.
Anyone who has never been and is just watching it on telly may be blissfully ignorant of the reality, which is down there under the crowd's feet (don't even think about sitting down), and the thousands-strong push across the fields, with the five bar gate-wide bottlenecks when everybody leaves to go to another stage. It was chaos then and I don't imagine it's got any better.
Attending one now would probably end me, though if I could just watch it from the comfort of a straw bale with Lauren Laverne, maybe...

Yes. It's OK for those in their teens I guess, but not me.

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!”

Funny you should mention that. I dug out a set of vintage handcuffs yesterday during a rummage, must be a hundred years or more old. Had 'em since I was a kid. Unfortunately, they don't fit missus.
