When In Doubt

When in doubt about something, go with your gut instinct.

Bank holidays in Britain are a right load of old choss:

- traffic jams,
- lousy weather, and
- shite furniture sales!

Advice To Government Organisations

When you are trying to plant an "exclusive" story in the media, don't give the same story to a large number of media organisations at the same time.

They will not be best pleased to find out that you are trying to play them for patsies for your own nefarious ends!

Troop Withdrawals

Beware heaving a sigh of relief when a country pulls its troops out of a specific war zone. This may be but a means to deploy them elsewhere, against someone else.

Shouting

The person or country that shouts the loudest is invariably the weakest and most pathetic.

Emails and Messages

Look for what is missing from an email or message when determining what the writer is actually thinking.

Tit For Tat

Tit for tat is not an effective foreign policy tactic.

Countries that apply such tactics invariably end up looking like immature idiots, and end up embroiling themselves in situations that others have to help them out of in order to avoid bloodshed.

Low Hanging Fruit

Whilst low hanging fruit may appear to be tempting, beware overindulging lest they be poisoned.

Cornered Mice

Cornered mice, when they have nothing left to lose, will fight back.

The Weekend Approaches

Growth

Growth occurs when you experience things, and interact with people, outwith your normal comfort zone.

American Democracy

American democracy is an illusion, the American people have little choice other than to vote for one of two candidates both under the control of oligarchs.

The exception being the 2016 presidential election, wherein one of the candidates will most likely be an oligarch.

Rain and Wind

Rain wouldn't be half so bad if it were not for the fact that it is invariably accompanied by wind.
