"Like I always say, there's no 'I' in "team". There is a 'me', though, if you jumble it up."
We would worry less about what others think of us if we realized how seldom they do.

All designed objects are propaganda for a certain way of life.
Sometimes we need to stop analysing the past, stop planning the future, stop figuring out precisely how we feel, stop deciding exactly what we want, and just see what happens.

Parents who allow their children alcohol at home may be increasing the chances of future drinking problems, says England’s chief medical officer.
Sir Liam Donaldson accused some parents of a “laissez-faire” approach and said letting children taste alcohol to ready them for adulthood was “misguided”.
“It is a major public health problem. Alcohol has a ruinous effect on the foundations of adult life.

One of the best known Bargeddie ‘characters’ of recent times was William Conn (ca. 1880-1957), known locally as ‘Auld Wull’.

Today spent tour-guiding VIPs around Redmires to exhaust a very appreciative Porridge. Blissful.
Early start tomorrow to ‘turn-up and ride’ with one of the local clubs on their Sunday club-run for my first time. Feel funny about this which is daft. Have already done drink, sandwiches and snacks (20.30). [

A wrong decision isn't forever; it can be reversed. The losses from a delayed decision are forever; they can never be retrieved.
