Costs are the bane of existence. If we didn't have costs we wouldn't have to work.
Work ethic is a characteristic often attributed to Protestants. But St Peter's must have taken a bit of effort to accomplish.
Accomplish what you can and then move. Ressources will follow to accomplish more.
More haste, less speed is a seeming paradox. Festina lente likewise.
Likewise is a good word, one you get in Shakespeare and The Bible, and I'm not talking trashy modern bibles here. The good old King James Edition.
Editions of the Harry Potter series uses the same style of art from book to book. Wondering if they will ever change this pattern.
Pattern makers were highly skilled workers in the ironfoundries and brassfoundries of my home town. They made the blanks which would later be moulded in metal.
Metal jackets, full, are a very strange concept and smack of the horror comic. On the other hand metal jewellery or spoons do not have any horrific overtones.
Overtones of a sexual nature can be found everywhere nowadays. Isn't time we place less emphasis on what happens in the bedroom.
Bedrooms are my favourite room. That's where all the rumpy-pumpy is usually done but not always.
Bedrooms were dispensed with in a bit of a film I happened upon last night, as Michael Douglas and Demi Moore went at it on an office desk. Boy, that girl earned her star billing...totally convincing.
Convincing arguments in favour of placing less emphasis on what happens in the bedroom are very thin upon the ground. In fact I'm not sure I have ever heard one.
One of the main advantages of being old is that nobody expects you to know or like pop music. This is a great relief.
Relief provision is a massive industry and may well be, on closer scrutiny, to be the only industry. There are cases however where provision for it can be had simply by a snap of the fingers.
Fingers refer to the anatomy of the hand. Somebody with 'sticky fingers' is regarded as a thief.
Thief in rhyming slang is tealeaf. From this it is easy to infer that tea is the staple drink of the working classes, but nowadays it's more likely to be in bags so the leaves are virtually invisible.
Invisible forces are sometimes said to be at work in the ether around the South-West corner of the country. I think it is nothing but propaganda by the Tourist Boards in those areas designed to part impressionable innocents from their hard earned cash.
Cash Converters are world wide second-hand goods dealers. You can buy a range of goods in their well appointed stores, and can often pick up a bargain.
Bargain hunting is often said to be a despicable behaviour pattern. It is an attempt to force one's fellow man to work harder for less pay.
Pay is relative and subject to market forces. And if plumbers' rates decline with the increase of Polish labour, who am I to complain?
