Back in the water

Toilet thoughts


Have you ever tried to use on of these. They only work if you exert 10.1666 psi of pressure. Any less and you rip off one useless sheet of paper. A millionth of psi more and you will be mumified.

Ant people

I was watching the people climb to the top of the hills in Malvern at the weekend. They reminded me of ants, following each other along the ridge. We often laugh at ants for being so regimented, divided into workers, builders and egg layers, all leading their purposeful but almost pointless lives. But, aren't we really just the same. Despite being at the right end of evolution, we are still very much like our red and black cousins. We too follow the same repetitive paths. To work. To the shops. And if we are lucky to the beach. We keep the beat to the same tick and tock of the clock. Up at 8, break at 1, home by 6, bed by 11. Even our conversations and thoughts are on repeat play. Tweet and retweet. Yes, me may be able to go a bit further and move a bit quicker, but we are still ants. Just without the sting or ability to survive a tsunami or nuclear fall out.

Third way


Should I do this or should I do that. There is usually a third way. Should I take the money and run or should I stay at work getting increasingly frustrated. I just haven,t found the third way yet.

What do you want to do before you die. Some interesting responses here

What do you want to do before you die



Interesting question. I like the response of one person to go 200 mph. I have already done that one. I would like to have lived some more before I die. We com in to this world screaming, we should aim to go out smiling. ( :
