    Ha, ha - I spot irony!

    Running around after the wife, the neighbour, work evil, the father-in-law, your two friends, dad; brother, sister, cat, gardening equipment and sausages only means that get you tired, please nobody and get further away from your true wisdom and inner peace. Don't do it! Just don't. Drink coffee and think sod it.

    Tip 164 - When you are on the bus make sure you take everything with you.

    Oh my god, I left a bag of shopping today with a pizza and a block of mature cheese in it - I can't believe it, £5+ down the drain, adhere to the tip or be sorry!

    Tip 166: If you are going on someone's boat and you can't swim, don't get drunk. And wear a bloody lifejacket, you damn fool!

    Tip 167: There’s a fine line between fishing and standing on the shore like an idiot.

    Yeah, fishing. What's that all about? I mean, for God's sake, either get yourself a shed or tell her to record Downton friggin' Abbey and watch it while you're at work.

    Tip 168 - Always listen to the lab instructor no matter how boring (s)he is, because while you might feel invulnerable in your stupid little white coat, you really could get sick or injured if you decide to play Kirby on your DSi instead of paying attention to instructions.

    Tip 169: Eat porridge and cook your porridge in water first and add milk after. It cooks better.

    Sterp away from those salt and sugar laden cereals! What sustains us can also kill us in the long run. I'm a sucker for Frosties myself... but I had porridge today, and yesterday, and the day before that ..... I'm a regular bloke.

    Tip 170. Never regret what have happened nor decisions u have made .... Just move on!
    "He is asleep. Though his mettle was sorely tried,
    He lived, and when he lost his angel, died.
    It happened calmly, on its own,
    The way the night comes when day is done."

    Tip 171: Sometimes, when you feel really stressed at work, take a moment and make a paper airplane, and shoot it across to a colleague. Then proceed to have an office competition of whose plane will fly farthest.

    I think it looks right with a d, but I get the feeling I'm wrong.

    I, too, have long eaten porrige. You too could have a mind like mine! - eat porridge/ porrige.
