    "Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today" but also remember that "tomorrows another day" said my gran before she handed me a nice cheque as i left for university aged 18. Pity though 'cos at the time i paid more attention to the cheque she was waving in front of me than listening to her words advice.

    Bless her!

    I worked with a lot of people who would always try and sideload jobs/ responsibilities at every opportunity.

    I always say "If you do it once it becomes your job"

    A task comes along and someone says "Oh thats Sparky's job cos he did it last time". Doesn't matter that you only did it to help someone out (and they would normally take the credit). Better not to have done it in the first place than to be stuck sorting out someone elses problems for good.

    This reminds me of some advice I must give to my mate who is in court on Wednesday for assaulting a copper, just in case he sent for a spell at Her Majesty's pleasure.

    Well, we had a similar thread a while back, but I'll just repeat what I said then.

    Remember the Deaf Old Lady at the Back!

    In other words, if you've got something worth saying, then it's worth saying it clearly. If it's not worth saying, keep your mouth shut ...

    I've started one with DS3:

    "When I start running a hotel, I'll let you know. Until then, you're one of the family so you'll help as required!"

  • I learnt a couple of sayings from this site.

    1) What's meant for you, won't pass you.

    2) What the large print giveth, the small print taketh away!

    i certainly belive in this, because folks forget what they have done in the past, i think all past misdemeanors have a way of catching upwith us,oneway or another.
