Maxims to live your life by

[Ming the Merciless]

A stitch in time saves nine. I might live by that maxim. Depends what it means.

Surely you know what that means?

 

[Yellow Fang]

Surely you know what that means?

I might do.

Indeed. The world is run by mice. I am a huge Douglas Adam’s fan.

The world would probably be BETTER if it was run by mice

I have always been puzzled by the expression, 'You cannot have your cake and eat it.' Well, no, but what's cake for if not eating it. It is like saying 'You cannot eat your cake twice.' Well, yeah, that is the nature of food.

Once you have eaten your cake, you no longer ‘have it’ to dispose of as you will. A cake is a raft of potentialities - it can be a thank you, a bribe, an apology, a social occasion - but once eaten, those are gone.
Hark at me - once I couldn’t even spell ‘filosofa’. Now I are one.

Well, I believe in eating your cake as soon as you have it. Otherwise it might go stale. Jamaica cake never lasted very long in my flat.

New maxim: you cannot keep your cake for long without it going stale so eat it now.

Don't promise what you can't deliver

 

[ebikeerwidnes]

Don't promise what you can't deliver

and make sure the fact that you did NOT promise it is in writing


and in extreme cases take the evidence home and don;t leave it in work
(don;t ask me how I know)

 

[Hover Fly]

A cake is a raft

You try closing a river on one.

Us redheads don’t usually go grey, instead we change color, usually going lighter, but very occasionally darker.
And yes, all redheads are witches, whether they know it or not.

My aunt had red hair and now it's completely white. She had blonde hair when she was really young though.
