Thought for Today

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

I used to have a copy of that on the wall back in the work days. I would occasionally have to point to it when some numby asked a numby type question.
The one we had at the crane building mob was, "never argue with a stupid person, you only lower yourself to their level and then they win through sheer experience ......."

The other one was "you can't cure stupid, but gaffer tape sure quietens it down to a tolerable level" and there was a half used roll of tape hanging up beside it .... that got pointed at quite often, particularly when the boiler-maker foreman came over and tried to tell a fitter how something should be done :lol:

Somehow more relevant with the covid lockdowns, "The Scream" seems to fit how many feel, but then there is this:
