    Get's worse by the year, even my sister couldn't be bothered to send me a card..

    If that's how they want to carry on I think next year I won't be bothered to send birthday or Christmas cards and definitely no presents..

    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!”

    Not to worry I would normally not stoop to their level but there comes a time when this might be necessary...

    In fact disowning them all might make it easier for me in the long run

    just how I feel

    Just trying to decide whether to call the family on Christmas day, as is usual, or just leave them to their own devices

    Don't think it'd matter either way to be honest...
