LOL Janbee !

My best bits of advice are ::

1....avoid a Dentist with footprints on his ceiling

2....Try not to go on holidays where the locals all stop in the street and point at planes.

3...Think twice about any holiday where Kate Adie is sitting next to you in the queue for the plane.

Believe half of what you see and nothing of what you hear.

My late Husband's favourite poem which is good advice.
" The wise old owl sat in the Oak,
The more he saw,the less he spoke,
The less he spoke the more he heard,
Why can't we be like that wise old bird ?"

Abe Lincoln had it right here :::: "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt"

Would that more of our politicians would sit up and take notice !

My two would be
get yourself a good pair of shoes and a comfortable bed because when you arent in one of them you are in one of them you are in the other.
and
if you cant afford it, dont buy it.

I'll go with 'don't regret what you have done, regret what you haven't'.

Mikey, your holiday advice sounds terribly dull! Where's your sense of adventure?

[mikey4444]

LOL Eccles !

In my teens and twenties I used to be very adventurous. I used to back-pack around Europe, staying in Youth Hostels and they were the best times of my life. I remember visiting West Berlin, on a train that was sealed as soon as it went over the border into East Germany and not unsealed again until we reached West Berlin. The train was packed with armed guards for the whole journey "just in case anyone wanted to jump off into East Germany" apparently, but I never thought that was terribly likely at the time !

I also travelled by train through Yugoslavia, again with a close guard kept by armed Police. As the train went over the border into Yugoslavia, from Triest, everybody was searched in case we we were trying to smuggle Levis in the country ! Tito thought that jeans in general, and Levis in particular were too much of a temptation for his younger citizens. As a Westerner, carrying a red British Passport, I was allowed to keep mine on !

In Switzerland, of all places, I was briefly arrested for paddling about barefoot in a Basle public fountain, because it was so hot ! But the Swiss Police did give me lunch and a cup of tea, so it wasn't too scary I suppose.

Happy days !

What goes around, comes around, & I am hoping this saying come true.

[EcclesCake]

Mikey, armed guards and/or travelling in armoured cars or having police escorts is not unusual for my holidays.

Never understood why the insurance companies are reluctant to deal with me.......

If it seems too good to be true it usually is.

My mother always said to me:
Love your friends and treat them well
But never to them your secret tell
For when your friends become your foe
The whole world will your secret know.
