"The best laid plans of mice and men," as Robbie Burns said, "often go awry."
I don't think it is possible to map out your life and have it go as you expect. The beauty of life though is that man is resilient and can adapt and change. Adversity may suck but there is joy at unexpected blessings along the way.
Wisdom is knowing when to speak your mind and when to mind your speech
I am currently trying to confront my phobia of German Sausages........ I fear the Wurst.
I AM astounded that the police should have to be called to attend disturbances at some UK stores because of Black Friday shoppers fighting over so called bargains. Some people need to get a life!
I prefer pouring cream with warm apple pie.
I also prefer custard on my spotted dick!
Not keen on heights and hate wasps. But my biggest problem is Cenosillicaphobia.
Full Scottish.
That's a Full English but with Lorne Sausage, Hash Browns and Black Pudding.
Yeah, I known full of calories but a great antidote for anorexia!
If practice makes perfect, and nobody's perfect, why practice?
If someone owns a piece of land, do they own it all the way to the centre of the earth?
I have learned learnt from experience that when a new product or new version comes on the market give it a year before buying. It usually takes that long to iron out all the problems anyway.
I can remember when there would be releases of beta versions first before the main version came out to sort out things like this.
I have an iPhone and a Blackberry Z10, both work okay but I spend more time charging them than using them. I also have an old Samsung flip phone. It's just a basic phone but it's a lot less trouble than the others and cheaper to use as well.
Very sad news. I heard he was ill a few months ago. He will be sorely missed, I'm sure, by all AC/DC fans.
Good to see another member of the Young family steeping up.
Today is World Vegetarian Day so I will be celebrating it in style........ a couple of medium rare beef fillet steaks with French fries and mushrooms. Oh, and a glass or two of Shiraz.
As others have mentioned, maybe he wasn't happy with the service. I would like to hear his reasons first before making a judgement.
It is though a bad idea adding tips to the overall bill. I always pay the bill and leave a tip personally for the waiter/waitress. There is usually a good mark-up on food to give the restaurant owner a good return and chefs are well paid anyway. It's the waiting staff that are on minimum wage and deserve the tip.
As well as the legal aspect there is also the matter of privacy. These people, though naïve and perhaps a little stupid, stored these pictures etc., with privacy in mind. I think that should be respected.
I think that Macmillan Cancer Support has shot itself in the foot over this one. With 800 million people in need of fresh clean water throughout the world, wasting water in this way just doesn't do it for me. Macmillan do a great job as a charity but this was a foolhardy idea. It was made even worse for me watching George W Bush rise to the challenge the other night and the previous news item showed thousands of refugees in Iraq on the run from ISIS with little food or water.
Very sad news. Thoughts and prayers with his wife and children and friends left behind.
He once said that 'Suicide was a long term solution to a short term problem'. Sad that he took that solution!
I am not a big fan of Country and Western Music, outside of Taylor Swift (yeah, I know sad isn't it) but I couldn't help but take an interest in the Garth Brooks controversy over his cancelled concerts in Dublin.
Apparently, five concerts were organised for him and the Council would only give permission for only three of them. He said it was all or nothing and when they refused he cancelled all the concerts. 200,000 ticket holders have been left stunned and the nation has been so shocked that even the President of Ireland has now got involved. For a nation that worships the ground that the dreadful singer Daniel O'Donnell walks on why are they so anti Garth Brooks?
What a short sighted Council to turn away all that additional revenue those concerts would have brought in!
Gives a whole new meaning to the term 'having a Brazilian'.
I hope the Attorney General reviews this sentence and he is made to serve at least 15 years.
o.k,,,,
