1. 99 percent of lawyers give the rest a bad name.

2. Deja Moo: The feeling that you've heard this bull before.

3. Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society.

4. If at first you dont succeed, skydiving is not for you.

5. Money cant buy happiness. But it sure makes misery easier to live with.

6. Nothing in the known universe travels faster than a bad cheque.

7. Vital papers will demonstrate their vitality by moving from where you left them to where you cant find them.

8. Always remember to pillage BEFORE you burn.

9. The trouble with doing something right the first time is that nobody appreciates how difficult it was.

10. It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as warning to others.

11. Rays Law: You cant fall off the floor.

12. Paranoids are people too; they have their own problems. Its easy to criticize, but if everybody hated you, youd be paranoid too.

13. Eagles may soar, but weasels arent sucked into jet engines.

14. If at first you dont succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.

15. A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking.

16. Experience is something you dont get until just after you need it.

17. For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism.

18. Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view.

19. To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research.

20. To succeed in politics, it is often necessary to rise above your principles.

21. Two wrongs are only the beginning.

22. You never really learn to swear until you learn to drive.

23. The sooner you fall behind, the more time youll have to catch up.

24. A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.

25. If you must choose between two evils, pick the one youve never tried before.

26. Change is inevitable....except from vending machines.

27. Money cant buy love. But it CAN rent a very close imitation.

28. Plan to be spontaneous tomorrow.

29. Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now.

30. Borrow money from pessimists - they dont expect it back.

I would agree with all of them except number 22. You don't learn to swear properly until you play golf.

'Ello Matey

I may be out tomorrow coz Jeckells are supposed (Again!!) to be coming to measure my boat but I don't know how far up river I'll get. Problem is, it takes me hours to get up to the posh part where you are. /forums/images/icons/smile.gif

That's more like it but still late by the time I got out there on an evening. What about you get some local mates out on a trip to Hampton Court, Staines, Kingston or somewhere I can get to by train/bus? Then I could come back up river with you without having delayed you earlier on. Contract here is just about up so I don't want to come off billing especially for drinking as I do enough of that during the day as it is!! /forums/images/icons/crazy.gif

Just a few cables from Boulters Lock
www.tmba.org.uk
This is all getting too complicated !
It takes me around 3 hours to get to hampton court/kingston and 3 locks which are a b*st*rd to work after 9pm....eg its pretty much a day round trip /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

Staines is a little easier but still two locks ........

As for 'popping up' to St Kats for an evening tipple from deepest Surrey........
