    Those look genuinely fantastic Marco, completely professional standard.

    Well done to Del, talented (and caring) lady

    How are things with you, mate? Hope you can manage to have a nice Christmas

    I’m off with the dreaded COVID lurgy, had it 3 weeks now.

    Think the kids brought it from school which seems to be full of it.

    I’m doing ok though, mine seems to be the gastric type, off my feed.

    Two fresh turkeys coming today but I can’t taste a thing

    Thanks Guy, there’s a lot of people a lot worse so I can’t complain too much.

    +1 @ Guy. Indeed, John sorry to hear that you've caught the Covid lurgy. Hope you feel better soon, mate. I hear the long term effects can take a while to get over, including the loss of taste and smell.

    It's a bugger suffering from that at Chrsitmas, when those senses usually come in handy! Get well soon

    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!”


    ***SMILE, BE HAPPY***
