  2. A quotation from Cicero

    But you were so utterly devoid of sense, that throughout the whole of your speech you were disputing with yourself, saying things which not only were inconsistent with each other, but involved direct contradiction and opposition, so that the contest was not so much between you and me as between Antonius and Antonius.
     
    [Tam autem eras excors, ut tota in oratione tua tecum ipse pugnares, non modo non cohaerentia inter se diceres, sed maxime disiuncta atque contraria, ut non tanta mecum quanta tibi tecum esset contentio.]

    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
    Philippics [Philippicae; Antonian Orations], No. 2, ch. 8 / sec. 18 (2.8/2.18.7) (44-10-24 BC) [tr. King (1877)]

  3. I'm one of the few people who want #rain for the #bankholiday. Relatively new #villagers play bang bang #music outside all day from when they get up. Before they arrived last summer we could listen to #bird song, #cows and #sheep (part of living here, we thought & it was for the first 16 years). They are 3 houses away & it's still really loud (& repetitive). Not the sort we'd like to start a #dispute with but #outdoors with earplugs isn't the same.
