Gordon Brown

Brown has attempted to spin that he is offering "change".

So far the public, and the media, seem to have bought into the spin.

However, the reality that he is not offering any change whatsoever will soon hit home; when it is realised that the troops in Iraq are not coming home anytime soon.

Irritants

Irritants often beget pearls.

Young and Old

Those who claim that there is no similarity between the young and the old are wrong.

Young people and old people are often in a hurry to complete a task, beware an old/young person in a hurry.

Plans

The best laid plans of mice and men are often screwed up by the intervention of lawyers.

Gordon Brown

Gordon Brown has just achieved his life's ambition, and been anointed Prime Minister.

One would have expected him to look happy, healthy and energised in the first few weeks in office.

The question therefore arises, why does he look so ill and so obviously unhealthy?

Advice To Service Providers

Don't claim that your "engineers are working around the clock" to fix a problem that has been in existence for over four weeks.

It just doesn't ring true!

Suicide Bombing

Why is it that the young are the ones required to sacrifice their lives for the alleged "noble" cause created by old men who sleep safely in their beds?

Advice To Politicians

Don't allow yourselves to be portrayed as morally "superior" to the rest of humanity, we are all human and subject to the same human failings and indiscretions.

At some stage the "morally superior" politician's indiscretions will come out.

People need human beings to lead them, not puritans.

Freedom

Freedom is never given to people, it has to be fought for and defended.

Professionals

When enlisting the services of a "professional", eg lawyer or accountant, it is always wise to check that they are suitably qualified.

There are some people who call themselves lawyers and accountants, yet they have no recognisable qualification whatsoever.

Relying On Others

Don't rely on individuals or organisations who have let you down in the past.

Advice To Water Companies

Don't keep cutting the water supply of website owners off, it irks them!

Advice To Holidaymakers

Sports Shops

Shops that merely sell wall upon wall of trainers should not describe themselves as sports shops.

Advice To Presidents

No one is above the law, not even the President or friends of the President.

Happiness

True sustainable happiness cannot be derived from transitory pleasures, such as consumerism or driving a luxury car, it can only be derived and sustained from long term friendships, relationships and meaningful interactions with fellow human beings.

Advice To Politicians

Don't forget those who voted you into office.
