A few older folk have mentioned recently how fast their lives have gone and old age creeps up on you. Scared me.

Outside of dogs, books are a mans best friend. Inside of dogs it's too dark to read.

Say nothing and keep saying it!

You only need two things in life: A good pair of shoes, and a good mattress, cause if you're not in one, you're in the other.

When there's plenty take a lot; when there's a little take it all!!

You cannot watch the parade and drive in it at the same time.

There's no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong clothes.

Also - no matter how extraordinary your life is, if you die on the toilet that is the main thing you will be remembered for.

Sure would be a crap place to die.

If you have to work on wiring and don't know if the circuit is live or not, keep your left hand in your back pocket.
That way if it is live and you get a shock the current won't cross your heart.
Also - when you get a shock your hand will definitely contract so if its in your back pocket you won't constrict your balls.

I said that to a lad one night while out having a smoke. It was mid December, he was wearing a Tshirt, and he was complaining about the cold.
It went completely over his head.

Add good tyres to that.

A 4wd vehicle is only as good as the tyres under it and more importantly the person driving it.

Farmers can't drive, they just like blocking roads and people who have real work to do.

That's how t-shirts usually go on.

There's always a lot of talk about how young people should spend their summers working and looking to advance their CV but I don't agree with that. When you're young, you are at a stage in your life when you have the chance to create moment and memories that you won't be able to later on in life. Why spend all that time entering the 'rat race' uo the career ladder. There will still be plenty of opportunities to advance your career, of course you'll have to work with bit harder but if you want it badly enough, you'll still get your dream job.

I think a lot of people who have success in their careers later regret not having more fun or spending more time with the ones they love. Money and careers are a necessary evil. They are important but they shouldn't dictate your life.

My brother when I was about 21 - "never have regrets, about anything, you cannot change the past, but what you can do is shape the future"

Has really helped me - I see so many people wasting time moaning about decisions they've made in the past and how they wasted this and that .... such a pointless pointless endevour

It's a proven scientific fact, the older you get, the faster time goes. Certainly feels like it.

Like my neighbour says each August bank holiday,
'you might as well say it's xmas'.

Someone I knew you to say one week into a 3 week holiday .... It's flying by!
Negative person

Every year there after I used to say the same on day 1.
She didnt say it again

Trick with your neighbour is this
On may 1 or even now say .... It will be 21st june longest day of the year before we know it ! Or say that when the summer clock changes an hour.

It's from the (excellent) Will Smith movie, "Seven Pounds".

From one of my favourite comedians, Craig Ferguson, along the lines of "revenge is a dish best served cold":

"Ask yourself three questions. Does this need to be said? Does this need to be said by me? Does this need to be said by me now?"

Also Craig (and also my mantra when the big black dog is nipping at the heels):

"Maybe fear is God's way of saying, 'Pay attention, this could be fun.'"
