    Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.

    Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

    The death benefits letter I received some years ago indicates that family benefits would be 50% of the annual pension in payment for the FS scheme.

    Bear in mind, they probably won't just automatically pay out, the widow will probably need to apply specifically for this.
