    Youth is wasted on the young, you'll only appreciate what you had when it's gone.


    On that note ....... use sunscreen.

    Although it may seem only a harmless bit of fun at the time but having a fling with someone will only cause trouble for your marriage.
    There is the initial guilt.
    The paronia of will the girl tell your missus.
    Then the remourse.
    Then feeling of shame and dirtyness.
    Sometimes the desire to do it again.
    Next the OH thinks there is something wrong and starts doing it more often.
    Next you have two chicks you are doing it with until KABOOM your head gets so wrecked you just have to get away from it all and just stay in and watch football all the time.

    1. - In the case of strangers and the general public your initial instinctive shallow paranoia, negative outlook, mistrust and cynicism were infact right. Imagine that. Yes TV lied to you.


    2. - Relationships (for men) - Glenda Gilson and that hairy little rich fcker. Hugh Hefner. End.

    On their deathbed nobody wishes they spent more time in the office

    Well I'm a young 'un but have seen far too many co workers made redundant and all those late evening unpaid and working through lunches didn't save them.

    Or get ignored at promotion time.

    Working free overtime in an office if you are not the owner or top brass getting a bonus is a suckers game.

    Why promote someone or pay them more when they are willing to do it for free - I don't understand why more people don't realise this. Do what you're paid to do and go home.

    I see your point but then you're in danger of being seen as a clock watcher

    life is an interview for a job you didn't know youd applied for

    some people do just love to argue for no reason other than arguments sake

    Deep.

    Pity there's no redundancy payment.

    ah you'd only spend it on shoes, make up and cheap booze and then waste the rest ;)

    Of course.

    And also in the target of your boss should he be forced to make redundancies ;)

    There's two trains of thought: never be too good that you don't get promoted and never be replaceable. It really boils down to the kind of boss you have

    Saying she wouldn't spend her money on cheap booze is arguing for the sake of it? Someone has ass-hurt.

    'The road to hell is paved with good intentions' is a reality that saddens me.


  • Registered Users Posts: 228 ✭✭PingO_O


    This isn't really a fact of life but I've found it it to be true anyway, alan watts says it in one of his talks when he talks about what (he thinks) life's all about ,"It was a musical thing and you were supposed to dance"

    I find it comforting because I'm always worrying about the future and what I'm supposed to be doing with my life but it doesn't really matter as long as I enjoy it, sorry to get so philosophical AH bros.

    The second women talk about their weight it is advisable to clam up ...nothing a man can say in this situation is correct.

    The world isn't fair. Cheaters do prosper. Nepotism works.

    David Icke has gone from insane to sane over the last 20 years and you expect Chris Morris from Brass Eye to pop up on any TV news / current affairs programme.

    Even a little self loathing can be destructive. I'm not saying to love yourself completely but to accept who and what you are flaws and all.
