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!”

Sigh, yet another example of the Court system being less than useless.
Geoffrey, I would not have handled this the way you did but you do not deserve criticism. In fact I think you should be applauded for this approach you are taking. It will put an end to what is truly a tale of woe, but equally important is that you gain a real satisfaction in knowing that some good has come of it.

The thing is Andrei it is obvious Mr Wood is going to fight this all the way, and it has got to the point now where Geoff has had to pose the the question; is chasing this guy further into the legal maze actually going to be productive? Personally I think Geoff would be wasting his time and potentially, his money. I was being critical because the obvious solution was staring Geoff in the face.
Anyway, it seems now that Geoff has accepted this and is willing to have the amp fixed so it can be sold with the proceeds going to charity, which I admit is a nice touch as long as it ends there...

Hi Geoff,
I cannot believe what I am reading.
Have you decided whether you want to escalate the matter further? If so, it looks like to me that you are about to give away the (main) piece of evidence to your case.
