Ah, the good old days when the local church jumble sale was worth the walk - these days the vicar's helpers would more likely take out anything of interest and stick it on Ebay.I used to have that - but it went the way of a lot of the '80s techno-pop stuff I wanted to get rid of: to the local vicarage jumble sale!

I'm Dominick.
So I'm not a huge Fan of Pink Floyd's stuff post 'Animals', but I saw this for a quid in the charity shop and thought I'd give it a go. Very self-derivative, but quite a nice ambient + listen.
Another £1 impulse, a bit pop-rock for me but good fun.
Back to old favourites...

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!”

Like you, I more or less lost interest in Pink Floyd after 'Animals', yet if I had seen that for £1 in my local charity shop I would have certainly snapped it up. Well done!

When I were a mere snip of a lad (7 - 10 years old), I used to like to read the Famous Five books. Terribly dated now and very 'middle class': the 'baddies' were always foreign or from the 'lower classes'.Ah, the good old days when the local church jumble sale was worth the walk - these days the vicar's helpers would more likely take out anything of interest and stick it on Ebay.
Last jumble sale I went to, I was probably looking for Famous Five books I hadn't yet read. Wouldn't happen now - such racist muck would be intercepted and burned by those who want us to disown our pastBut - was "George" (the 'tom boy' girl) the first candidate for a potential trans-gender character in childrens literature?
Regarding vicarage jumble sale helpers picking out 'plums' for sale on eBay - I have no problem with that; the purpose is to raise as much cash as possible. After all it's what Oxfam do (as I'm sure so do other charities).

When I was that age I used to buy books at the jumble sales. I really liked the Pan horror series. (I'm not sure my parents ever looked at the books I bought.) I've still got quite a few and going back to read them years later I was shocked how graphic they were!When I were a mere snip of a lad (7 - 10 years old), I used to like to read the Famous Five books.

I can still remember one story about 2 boys who liked to take radios and stuff apart in their shed to see how they worked. Then they decided they wanted to know how the little girl next door worked. Fortunately I had the sense not to copy the things I read
