    Oh no there is definitely a Santa Claus - since being appointed head of logistics at Amazon HQ he has become pretty much desk-bound, and having his elves dressed as delivery drivers he has become more elusive than ever.

    Yes there is definitely a Santa Claus - and you are right, nowadays he employs the auspices of Amazon.

    Now the question to ask is whether there really a Jeff Bezos.

    Turned out ok, IN THE END! When it stopped raining I cheered up, local cafe was actually open, lovely staff in there, read for 2 hours, a most riveting book - 'A line in the sand', on the Sykes-Picot agreement, very topical. Enjoying some Beaujolais with ham and cheese now, so not bad! Roast beef to come, not sure what that will be like, the horseradish sauce I attempted is naff! Merry shitmas and a crappy new year!

    I admire your attempt to make horseradish sauce. The root is very tough to grate, but I'm sure if you persevere fresh horseradish sauce is much better than that out of a jar. It's the same with mustard - freshly made mustard always tastes better.

    I prefer the taste of no mustard. Same with horseradish sauce - I'd rather eat horsedroppings sauce

    “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 had a nasty bitter taste, next time I won't bother with the poncy Michel Roux version, waste of time!! On the plus side the gravy was very nice.

    Popped out for a take-away?
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
