What Life Has Taught Me!

[Bob Hinton]

Words of wisdom

Here are some more things that life has taught me.

“The efficiency of any organisation is in direct inverse proportion to the number of posters they display”

And since it’s Royal week, one from Prince Philip,

“If you see a man opening a car door for a lady it’s either a new car or a new wife!”

[kensei]

In response to The Grave Maurice in post #11 on honesty, life has taught me that when someone begins a sentence with "I don't mean to say such-and-such, but..." the first half of the sentence is always untrue.

In response to Limehouse in post #31 on fashion in Britain, life (and travel) have taught me that unlike the U.S., London is absolutely filled with young women in short skirts and black stockings, which when you're packed into a train car on the tube at rush hour at least makes for plenty of nice eye candy. Ok, that was naughty of me.

Life has taught me that things that seem too good to be true often are, and that as you age our society is set up in a way that makes it hard to remain completely healthy.

Life has taught me that there is no such thing as a senseless crime (every crime makes sense to the person committing it), and that there is no such thing as an untimely death (whenever you die-- that's your time!).

It has to be said Richard that your posts now are a thousand times better than they used to be. They are now a pleasure to read!

Life has taught me that it's worth spending money on a good bed and a good pair of shoes, because if you're not in one, you're in the other.

And if you're in the wrong bed, you need good shoes to run away.

If you are active, and play sports, never ever EVER acquire the nickname "Duck".

Do not wait until tommorow to buy that thing you saw in the shops. It won't be there

This is one of the great truths of the Universe, Belinda!

[Celesta]

Life has taught me to always expect the worst, this way you can always be happily surprised when something positiv actually happen.

A philosophy I'm well acquainted with, Sister H.

Many thanks.

Hi Bob

Not so much to contribute to this thread but I would just like to note how interesting your "On the Sofa" interview in Ripperologist proved. You have led quite a life. Fine stuff, Bob.

Appreciate it Chris. When I started writing it I was a bit taken aback how long it was turning out so I did check with the Editor to make sure it was ok to take up so much space. It is really weird to actually go back over your entire life like that, it's not something you normally do. I can thoroughly recommend it to everyone!

Oh really...

I'd love to ask what Lulu lemon pants are, but life has taught me not to ask questions that are likely to lead to disappointing answers

Actually I was working up the courage to ask that!

Oh, this is because everyone is into yoga Which has its own compensations, or so I'm told...

Claire,

Lululemon is a Canadian company. They make pants like these: http://shop.lululemon.com/products/c...s?pagesize=All
and can't seem to make them fast enough. Everyone seems to be wearing them. Wish I'd bought stock at the IPO.
