Maxims to live your life by

[Biker BoB]

Keep brown sauce in the fridge.

There's not enough Latin in this thread, so here's some more: premeditato malorum .

Essentially, visualise what might go wrong so that you can be be prepared for it and react better when and if it does, avoiding the need to waste time being surprised, distressed, or even having to think about it when it's actually happening. Very effective when there are sheep at the side of the road on fast downhills :-)

If you wake up make the best of the day, life is way too short.

Stop talking about it and just do it

being half way along a sub optimal path is often better than spending an extra week working out which it the perfect path only to find that you have no longer got enough time to do the damn thing

 

[Joey Shabadoo]

Expect the unexpected

Expect the unexpected

But, then, it’s no longer unexpected, is it?

[ebikeerwidnes]

Talk to people and listen
I tend to explain what I am doing a lot - I find it helps and people don;t repeat what I do not knowing that I have already done it

Also - smile to people and be nice
even if you don;t like then

If they like you then it enhances the relationship
If the hate you then it annoys them no end
and - if they do hate you - then after a while they feel forced to smile back
if they are not a total ****head then it can eventually turn things round

either way smiling is a weird thing - the more you smile at people the better you feel

and it makes people wonder what you have been up to!

Always clap the performer even if they are rubbish

Never put Brie or Camember cheese in the fridge.

Never put Brie or Camember cheese in the fridge.

Many moons ago, did a booze run to Calais. As well as beer and wine, took advantage of some cheap Brie.
Had to stop part way home and eject the cheese as it was so overpowering. You live and learn.
