"Tomorrow you're all going to wake up in a brave new world, a world where the Constitution gets trampled by an army of terrorist clones, created in a stem-cell research lab run by homosexual doctors who sterilize their instruments over burning American flags. Where tax-and-spend Democrats take all your hard-earned money and use it to buy electric cars for National Public Radio, and teach evolution to illegal immigrants. Oh, and everybody's high!"

Stephen Colbert (I Am America (And So Can You!))

"Gillman smiles, in the cold manner of an assassin. It's like looking in the mirror."

Irvine Welsh (Filth)

Right, the #BlackFriday sale is all wrapped up now. The backlog has been cleared - well, except for a couple of orders to Canada which is waiting for #CanadaPost to resolve their issues, and one order which is awaiting parts which are due in tomorrow.

Phew! What a week! Black Friday weekend is always busy at RC2014 Towers, but this year was 30% busier than last year. Good work everybody!

Now that is all dealt with, normal service should resume. As soon as we work out what normal is anyway!
