A quick search on the forum would bring up a similar thread I started way back in the days of good old 2007, but to be honest, I have discovered more of these quotes which I feel I must share with you as they have simply cheered up my depressing couple of weeks which I have suffered of late. So, this is not a blog as such, but more of an attempt to brighten up yours and my day.
The following observations have been sent to me by emails and texts of the past few days, along with a couple of my own which I want to share with you. It really does make you think about our way of life and the things we do. If not, at least you may have a bit of a chuckle.
