Ladies, some advice, if he doesn’t appreciate fruit puns…

You need to let that mango.

I used to go out with a girl called Lyndsey Doyle…

She smelt like a cricket bat.

After all these years, I’m finally ready to confess.

I let the dogs out.

Science reveals that women have cleaner minds than men…

Due to the fact that they change them every 10 seconds or so.

I’m fed up with my mates, three times now they’ve agreed to go to a Whitesnake gig with me & then not showed up.

Here I go again on my own!

The condition of the man who was mauled at the Teddy bear’s picnic is said to be improving but he’s not out of the woods yet!

When I checked into my hotel I asked about the TV in my room.

No I was told, “It’s normal…

Quote of the Day: Hope and Torment

“Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man.”

Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) was a German philosopher, cultural critic, and poet. He is known for his works on morality, religion, culture, and the human condition. Nietzsche’s philosophy is often characterized as a critique of traditional values and beliefs, and an exploration of the human potential for creativity and self-realization.

Some of his most famous works include “Thus Spoke Zarathustra,” “Beyond Good and Evil,” and “The Genealogy of Morals.” In these works, Nietzsche proposed new ideas and concepts that challenged the prevailing beliefs and values of his time. He argued for the need to create new values and a new morality that would enable individuals to achieve their full potential and live fulfilling lives.

Nietzsche’s ideas have had a profound impact on modern philosophy, literature, and culture. His influence can be seen in the work of many notable thinkers and writers, including Martin Heidegger, Michel Foucault, and Jean-Paul Sartre, among others. Despite his lasting impact, Nietzsche’s work was not fully appreciated during his lifetime, and he suffered from mental and physical illness that ultimately led to his death at the age of 55.

The quote means that in some cases, having hope can actually be worse than not having hope at all. When a person is facing a difficult situation or problem, hope can prolong the pain and suffering by keeping them focused on a desired outcome that may never materialize. In this way, hope can lead to disappointment, frustration, and even despair.

Nietzsche believed that it is better to face reality as it is, without hope or false expectations, so that one can accept the situation and move on. He thought that by accepting reality as it is, one can find the inner strength to face challenges and overcome obstacles without being held back by false hope.

Overall, the quote suggests that hope can be a double-edged sword and that sometimes it can be better to face reality without it in order to minimize suffering and find a path forward.

Advice of the Day: Staring


If you stared at something you dropped on the ground, eventually someone will pick it up for you.

I would love this to be true but I believe it is a myth! Looking at something dropped on the ground will not magically make someone pick it up for you. In fact, many people believe that if you stare at something you’ve dropped, it will just make it more awkward for someone else to pick it up for you. It is much better to simply ask for help from someone nearby.

Thought of the Day: Numbers


When you count from one to two you skip an infinite amount of numbers.

The first known counting system was developed by the Sumerians in Mesopotamia around 4000 BC. This system was created in order to keep track of economic transactions and was based on the number 60.

The number 60 was chosen because it is a highly composite number, meaning it has many divisors. This made it useful for counting and dividing into smaller parts. Additionally, the Sumerian base-60 counting system was used to keep track of time, which is why we still use 60 minutes in an hour and 60 seconds in a minute.

The Sage and the Lion


A wise old Sage in white robes stood,
With lion fierce beside him, good.
He tamed the beast with gentle hand,
And wisdom to which understand.



With words of peace and calm control,
He guided lion’s heart and soul.
No longer fierce and filled with rage,
The lion now was calm and sage.



Together they walked through the land,
A bond between them, strong and grand.
The lion’s roar was now a purr,
As Sage and beast, they did concur.



And all who saw them were amazed,
At how the lion now was tamed.
For wisdom is a truly powerful thing,
And in The Sage’s heart, it did sing.

Advice of the Day: Stupidity


Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

The advice “Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups” may not be the most constructive or respectful way to approach group dynamics, so this is not serious guidance!

That said, it is important to recognize that intelligence is one, but not the only, factor that contributes to a group’s success or failure. Other factors such as communication, collaboration, motivation, and leadership also play important roles. Additionally, it is not helpful to label individuals as “stupid” as this can be disrespectful and dismissive of their unique perspectives and experiences.

Instead of focusing on individual intelligence, it may be more helpful to focus on fostering a culture of open communication, respect, and inclusivity in group settings. This can help ensure that all members of the group feel valued and are able to contribute their unique strengths and perspectives to achieve common goals.

Individual personality and intelligence can have a significant impact on group dynamics in large groups. Here are some examples:

Personality: Different personalities may have different communication styles, which can affect how effectively they are able to communicate and collaborate with others in the group. For example, some people may be more introverted and prefer to work independently, while others may be more extroverted and enjoy working in groups. Additionally, some people may be more assertive and dominant in group settings, while others may be more passive and deferential. These differences in personality can impact how group members interact and may influence how decisions are made and tasks are delegated within the group.

Intelligence: Higher levels of intelligence may contribute to better problem-solving and decision-making within the group. More intelligent individuals may be able to think critically, analyze complex information, and generate creative solutions to problems. However, it is important to note that intelligence is not the only factor that contributes to group success and that other factors such as motivation, leadership, and communication skills are also important.

In general, it is important to recognize that every individual brings their own unique personality and intelligence to a group setting and that a diversity of perspectives and skills can be beneficial for group performance. It is also important to create a supportive and inclusive environment that values and respects each member’s contributions, regardless of their personality or intelligence.

Thought of the Day: Money


You don’t own money, it’s just your turn with it.

The statement “you don’t own money, it’s just your turn with it” is a philosophical perspective on money that some people may subscribe to. The idea behind this statement is that money is a temporary possession that passes through individuals over time and that no one can truly “own” money in a permanent sense.

In practical terms, however, individuals do possess money for certain periods of time, whether it’s in the form of cash, bank deposits, or other financial assets. They can use the money to purchase goods and services, invest, save, or donate to charitable causes.

Ultimately, whether you believe that you truly own money or that it’s just your turn with it may come down to personal philosophy and perspective.

Coins were first used as money tokens in the 6th century BC in Lydia, which is now part of modern-day Turkey.

The Sage and the Double Decker Bus


The wise old Sage with hair so white
Repaired the engine of a red bus so bright
With robes as white as driven snow
He worked with skill and steady flow



The gears and parts were old and worn
But with his wisdom, they were reborn
He tinkered and he tweaked with care
Ensuring the bus was in top repair



The engine hummed with newfound might
Thanks to The Sage’s expert insight
He climbed down from the bus with grace
And looked ahead with a smile on his face



The passengers would now travel hear and there
Thanks to The Sage’s timely fix and repair
In London town, the bus did roam
Thanks to The Sage who brought it back home.
