    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.

    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.

      4. Many people are alive only because it's illegal to shoot them. :thumbsdown:

        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 :)

            It's at the menders having a wheel reattached, after they found the axle had broken. And it's only an A-class, not the Beast that Dave Auld storms around in! :laugh:

              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 :)

                        I knew someone that ate them dry, spread with butter and jam. (He may have been a Scot!)

                        Buttered Weetabix and jam was a staple of my childhood and we're from Hampshire!

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