    Not necessarily true, I've met some incredibly stupid older people in my time, not because they're old but just because they were stupid their whole life and didnt improve with age

    Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen a cloud with a lining. They're usually pretty wispy around the edges.

    Not always. Sometimes they'd be similar to a Type 2 or Type 3 on the Bristol Scale.

    When you get a Type 7 that's what's known as rain.

    Look up Eike Batista.

    Net worth about 200 million dollars (still obscenely wealthy, obviously) but he was worth 32 billion about 18 months ago.

    Dear God - even though that's still rich, losing THAT much money in less than 2 years would be enough to send you off the deep end? :eek:

    He got jarred and fell asleep on the couch - it rolled down the back of the cushions. The eejit just hasn't copped it yet.

    Politicians can live for a long time without their heads, with all the bad decisions they make throughout their job.

    I went to see the last post of this thread and thought you meant something completely different. :D

    We sat again for an hour and a half discussing maps and figures and always getting back to that most damnable creation of the perverted ingenuity of man - the County of Tyrone.

    10 per cent of people are dishonest .
    IF you use drugs ,eg hash it effects your health ,and relationships.
    TRY and avoid useless expensive habits,
    eg smoking ,using drugs,, its not cool ,its just pointless ,stupid.Bad for your health.
    IF your friends are drinking too much,or using drugs ,maybe its time to find new friends.
    its up to you to decide what you want,
    You cant have everything,
    save for a house, apartment,deposit ,if you want one.
    there,s no point in putting money into pension,when you are 20 years old living in a rental flat.
    Dont, put all your money into 1 thing,one company
    eg bank shares , shares in ibm,etc
    SAVE AT least 20 per cent of your wage ,if you do not have a mortgage.

    Statistics that people just throw out there are inaccurate.

    Drink/drugs in moderation are not necessarily bad for a person's health/relationships/personality, apart from smoke, which could cause lung cancer.

    That what doesn't kill you will make you stronger.

    That a mistake a lesson to be learned and you must make them to grow.

    That worrying is useless.

    That no-one is perfect.

    That no-one knows you better than you know yourself.

    That your health is your wealth.

    That over confidence is a sign of lack of confidence

    That anyone who bullies another is a coward

    That the problem lies with the bully not the bullied

    That greed is the route of all the bad things that happen in the world.

    That if some-one can't accept you as you are they are not worth your time or tears

    No man is worth being miserable over

    Family is everything, friends will come and go but blood remains forever.

    Never trust anyone, and like the more difficult facts in life, it usually it has to be leaned the hard way by experience.
