Never dance if the bars still open.

If you're not in bed by midnight, then go home

Redheads are temperamental, half temper and half mental.

There can’t be that many Chris S ‘s in Birmingham.

Or in management buzz-speak, "We don't have problems, we have opportunities".

A colleague announced one Monday morning "We had several 'opportunities' over the weekend"

You’ve met @Moon bunny?

I do know someone via another forum - and have met her in person that has red hair

as she is older than me this is pretty unusual

she is also a witch (really!) and so I'm accepting her word for it!!!!

she is also a nice person - but a bit scary

to be fair - most red heads I have met are pretty intelligent

but there have been a few that are err - not

If it ain't broke don't let anyone see you trying to fix it unless you actually fix it.

Focus on the things you can do, not the things you can't

Focus on the things you can do, not the things you can't

I tried to focus on the things I can do but found that I can't do it.

I once did a cave diving course, run by Martyn Farr, a renowned figure in the cave diving world; perhaps the equivalent of getting violin lessons off Nigel Kennedy say. Anyhow whilst me and the other guy were kitting up, Martyn was watching carefully. He said he liked to see other people's set up as it doesn't matter who they are you can always learn something. For someone as distinguished in the field as Martyn to think he might conceivably learn from the likes of me was quite telling. That said I did later show him a totally new way of tangling up a line-reel !

Did some scuba diving for a while, but cave diving - nuh. Just watching folk doing it on the TV gives me the heebie-jeebies.

I did some caving, but nothing hardcore. Seeing a cave dive start point where a line disappeared off into a flooded passage was heebie jeebie giving.

Looking back even caving gives me the shivers. I did dive a couple of sumps - which is worming your way along a flooded passage holding your breath, confident that the flooded bit won't be very long.

I'm way too chunky and inflexible now

With typical black humour one of my caving instructors said "never make friends with a cave diver, they may not be around much longer" which almost brings us back on topic.

Me to. Even wreck diving made me nervous, unless the acces/ exit was obvious.
I did 2 caves (with experts) but was not happy at all.

Only did the course, mainly to give me some hints and tips for wreck diving - exploring inside wrecks that is. Haven't followed up with actual cave diving, though did have a few shortish cave dives in mind. Having helped carry tanks underground a few times for others, it is a major rigmarole !
