In my professional opinion...

[Stig-OT-Dump]

Looking to tap into the collective wisdom of the CC massive, I thought I would create the opportunity for people to share the nuggets that they have gained through work and life experiences that may help others out. The sort of place where you might find out more about the uses of vinegar, how to avoid a catastrophy and how to save money on a daily basis (or even save a life).

Events this weekend suggest that I have learned nothing, so I will offer the advice:
"If it is not written down, it didn't happen"

Also, breathing patterns can offer an awful lot of information regarding someone's well-being. When monitoring someone's conditionreact to rapid, shallow breathing particularly when exposed to environmental changes.

I expect significantly more advice to follow, and for many of them to be bike related.
Cheers
Stig

Use full sentences (with a reasonable amount of correct grammar) to elicit a sensible response when posting on internet forums.

Keep and file every bit of paper from official bodies like HMRC and DWP. Several years down the line when they ask you damn fool questions about dates and things you will have the answers. Also copy every form you complete so you can remember all the lies you tell them.

Always qualify your gerunds with the possessive

Never sneeze with a mouthful of rice krispies

don't accept friends requests from ex-girlfriends if you're in a relationship (even if it was a three-month affair with someone when you were at school, that you never even bedded)…

The absence of a "next customer" bar at a supermarket checkout does not mean you can't leave an appropriate gap, place your purchases on the belt and avoid both an unnecessary backlog and overwhelming feelings of aggression from the person behind you.

If you are thinking about doing any serious building new or alteration work, please have an initial meeting with an architect.... you will get impartial ideas and an alternative way of looking at what you need rather than what you want...

What you are reading on the internet is almost certainly a lie

1. If you are in the process of taking those huge hitching breaths prior to sneezing, and have reached for a tissue out of the box, check that there isn't a cranefly on the tissue.

2. Cranefly are unlikely to remain in one piece whilst being expelled by a mixture of coughing, choking and the sort of sneeze you fetch up all the way from the soles of your boots.

3. Wives are occasionally unsympathetic to choking partners whilst being sprayed by small segments of cranefly legs wings and body.

Opinions may vary.
