I saw this notice on the back of a school bus today.

WARNING!! No children are left on this bus overnight.

Gave me a chuckle.

 

I went out for lunch at a farm shop and cafe and there was a small kids play area outside with a sign saying ‘ unattended children will be sold to the circus ‘

Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive.  But when we've practiced for a while, how vastly we improve our style.  Me.

Half the people can part right all of the time, some of the people can be all right all of the time, but all the people can't be all right all of the time, I think Abraham Lincoln said that, I let you be in my dream if I can be in yours, I said that  - Bob Dylan - Talking World War III Blues.

The goal of science and engineering is to build better mousetraps. The goal of nature is to build better mice.     Unkown 

Nothing travels faster than the speed of light, with the possible exception of bad news, which obeys its own set of laws.    Douglas Adams

Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out.

-  John Wooden (famous American UCLA basketball coach)

 

He’s a very interesting person who is a legend over there but very little known in Britain.  Particularly famous for his motivational quotes and helping his players as people as well as sportsmen.
