Plus that's a bit rich coming from you after your drunken ramblings about the bloke...

Half a loaf is better than no loaf.

I know it's a really common idiom but my late Granda used to say it.

Also - one that my da has been knocking out for years. He first said it to his friend who was scared of flying.

I'm sure it'll be grand. Sure, there's planes crashing now that have never crashed before.

He just replaces some of the words to suit any situation eg. There's pints being drank now that have never been drank before.

Yeah it reminds me of a vid you've posted a few times with an elderly sounding chap talking about metaphysics, the dream of life and so on... so I imagine it would be your kind of thing.

From one of my favourite poems.


Matthew Arnold talking of his yearning for a woman he could never be with.

Come to me in my dreams
and then the night will more than pay
the hopeless longing of the day.

NEXT
What are you waiting for?
The next promotion? The next holiday?
The next spiritual high? The next victory? The next relationship?
The next level of enlightenment? The next chance to prove how much you know?
The next life? The next... moment?
What if this ‘next’ never comes?
And even if it does, what if it won't end your seeking?
What if life – and its fulfilment – is always Now?
Then, what’s next?

- Jeff Foster
