    Some piously affirm: "The truth is such and such. I know! I see!"
    And hold that everything depends upon having the “right” religion.
    But when one really knows, one has no need of religion. - Mahavyuha Sutra

    You went out with her as well?
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    Indeed.

    We went on a quick trip to Donegal, followed by Austria/Bavaria which led inevitably to Devon.

    Sadly, I was left in Minnesota without a paddle.

    When I lived in New Zealand we used to shop in a town called Waipu (Why-poo).

    And then in Perth, Australia I lived near a suburb called Innaloo.
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.
