    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 don't know, By I tried to drill them with normal titanium drill bits (new never used ones) and it barely made a dent in the surface.

        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 !!

                  Alternately, we have the following two rules, first propounded by anarchist theorist Mikhail Bakunin:

                  1. There are no rules.
                  2. 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 :)

                                        ... but I bet it wasn't deep-fried?

                                        Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.

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

                                          Which alcohol goes with Weetabix? Maybe a particularly malty ale?
