Five Rules to Remember in Life

Excuse me. I eat all my cereal dry. I particularly like crushed up (to a powder) Weetabix mixed with a couple of spoonfuls of sugar. :)

I much prefer dryer cereal to the toxic sludge produced by milk, and I also happen to like dry Weetabix with sugar, but for practical reasons I normally lubricate it just a little, with yoghurt. It doesn't soak in and make soggy.

6. On entering employment, remember that it doesn't say anywhere in your contract that your job will be easy or fair.

The whole idea that is it supposed to be funny to shot people "just because".
I'd rather be phishing!
Thanks. Now I know I must keep any jokes I make here on CP squeaky clean and politically correct.

1 Forgive your enemy nut remember the bastard's name. 2. Money can not buy happiness but it's more comfortable to cry in a Mercedes than on a bicycle. 3. Help someone when they are in trouble and they'll remember you when they're in trouble again. 4. Many people are alive only because it's illegal to shoot them. 5. Alcohol does not solve any problems, but then again, neither does milk. These should assist you with most daily decision choices.
I prefer my ('borrowed/enhanced' version of #4) ... 4) Some people are like Slinkies. They aren't really good for/at anything, but they still bring a smile to my face when I push them down a flight of stairs(*) (*) seems to be attributed to Patricia Briggs/Walter Winchell

I need to agree with @OriginalGriff. Milk is very potent stuff! Could you remember your first years suckling on your mother's milk? :suss:

In Russian there is the phrase like your p.2. Here is it in my translation (don't bit the pianist...): "Money doesn't create the happiness, but helps to suffer it's absence".
My English is permanently under construction. Be patient !!

Yes it does! Have you ever tried to eat dry Weetabix? :laugh:

Alternately, we have the following two rules, first propounded by anarchist theorist Mikhail Bakunin:
- There are no rules.
- Rule #1 is not binding.
I observe those rules scrupulously.

Where about do you live / work Carl? I live in Burton Latimer and work for a company called Marval who are situated between Kettering and Rothwell. They're a software company that provide ITIL / IT Service Management software and services. And yes the factory certainly smells great :)

I live in Broughton and work in Oundle, so I drive on the A14. My sister used to leave in Burton Latimer so I know it fairly well. It's an even smaller world than I first thought; I used to work for Marval! You're probably fixing my bugs as I type. Heh, good luck maintaining that SLA code ;) Say hi to everyone from me :)

I drove through Broughton this morning as I'm trying to avoid the roadworks on the A14. What are you up to in Oundle? I cycle through their regularly on my weekend rides. P.S. Harshada says hello :)

Ha, good luck avoiding those roadworks :) I work at United Learning (a school group) in Oundle. It's a nice part of the world Oundle, some nice cycle routes I can imagine. There's a guy here who commutes from Wellingborough by cycle. Hi back to Harshada :)

A job agency sent me a job spec for a role at United Learning a few months ago. Looks like a nice place to work. A small world indeed Carl :)
