    Perhaps the sub implosion was all part of the 'fully immersive Titanic experience'? I can't even get into a lift, honestly, I walk up 10 flights of stairs rather than get into an enclosed box. What's the point of going down to the sea bed to look at wrecks anyway? It's downright creepy. You can see anything on TV these days, but some people just have a taste for extremes, probably the £250K price tag made it feel super exclusive, therefore it must be 'the ultimate' something or other.

    I'm a bit inconsistent when it comes to using lifts. If the lift is small (such as those installed in old Victorian or Edwardian buildings that have been converted to flats), or is crowded, then I will decline to use it. Otherwise I'm not too troubled.

    If you do a fair bit of travelling and use railways and/or airports, you only have limited option when it comes to luggage.

    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!”

    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
