    To my mind, soft drinks are not particularly appetizing.

    10:30 in the morning, and I'm on my fourth cup. Life is good, and the world seems manageable!

    And don't forget sparkling water. Do you have Talking Rain in the UK? Oh I shouldn't advertise. Any will do.

    It sure does, I drink quite a lot of tea during the day but not usually at night which was when I used to drink beer etc.

    I haven't seen (heard ?) Talking Rain in the UK but there are plenty of alternatives.

    We need more of these for all the different forms of alcohol. We need a 'tipping vodka bottle' emoticon! We also need a marijuana one, (for those in Amsterdam, of course.)

    At a previous job we made a list much like this, the only one I can remember is:

    When done playing with your putty put it away lest it get hard.



    Perhaps an explanation is in order. We made homemade silly putty and somebody left it out one night and when we came in the next day it was a rock. However, this can be expanded I think it can apply to many things.

    Another I just remembered:

    Tip #299: Something that is almost infinitely improbable is actually extremely likely to happen almost immediately.

    Douglas Adams gets credit for this one.

    Racist? Wow, that's extreme. In fact it's

    Otherwise you risk an apoplectic fit.

    You're talking about Nelly! Who loves nothing better than to stare menacingly at sheep all day and, apparently, rolls around in excrement.
