    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!”

    Lol - and plenty others have been 'overcome', too. It's a city in all but name - and also a COUNTY (and a large one at that). It's just that when Wrexham has been applying for city status, for years, it's always been refused and granted instead to an English town!!

    Based on the (rather obvious) bias I always go on about, you can imagine what I think of that...

    That's true. It hadn't occurred to me.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Thumbs down Boring Brexit shite....

    If I hear any more about fucking "soft" or "hard" Brexits, "soft" or "hard" borders, I'll give them something menacingly ROCK SOLID, and definitely NOT SOFT, capable of causing some MAJOR DAMAGE, that they'll never forget!!!!



    SHUT UP, and stop boring us all to death with your endless, yawn-inducing PISH!
