I've previously had a lunch or two and a leatherette diary. One agency brought in a load of tins of quality street for the contractors and bottles of cheap fizz for the managers.Comment

I did receive an offer for a meal in an Italian restaurant, but politely told the pimp "I don't accept gifts on principle". He asked me to elaborate so, I said, "Gifts can beholden people, and I don't like owing anybody anything".
He got the message.Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
