No, it was said by Mr Bluebell who wanted me to go to matches with him.

The rest is history!


What a playa Mr Blueball is. I'd keep an eye on him if I were you.

Agreed. Although I'd qualify that by adding: "But try to be your best self".

There's no shortage of people in the world who think being themselves gives them licence to be a selfish, ignorant a-hole.


Ah - true - obviously my friend was only thinking of the lovely, good* me tho ;)

Was swapping tales in a bar in Hong Kong with some bloke (Welsh expat I think) and he told me that all you got to do is "just keep moving".

Maybe he was bored of my conversation but I think he was encouraging me to keep trying out new experiences in life, thus the world is a small place. Great advice. I personally can't think of anything worse than settling down in your twenties where you grew up but I know far flung adventures aren't everyone's cup of tea.

I liked Hong Kong, must get back there soon

When I got my first weeks wages at my new company aged 19 I was stopped £6 pension. I went to my union rep to complain as I hadn't asked for it. He told me to keep paying as it is to my advantage and although I lived at home with my parents one day I'd be glad I had a pension. I took early retirement aged 50.


Second best piece of advice for me wasn't really one soundbite, or what any one individual said, but a lunchtime conversation (so many soundbites, ho-ho) in an open-plan office when I was working as a social worker for LB Lambeth around 1988.

It had just become a legal thing for us to be able to opt out of local govt. pension schemes and choose our own. After about 20 minutes casual chat (whilst sarnie chewing) between approx 6 of us, we unanimously came to the conclusion that it was safer to stay in. Tfft!

Best business advice - Obtain the services of a good accountant, they should always be able to save you more than they cost you. Also, you don't have to like everyone you do business with, but it helps.

Life - You can only call someone a best mate if they would help you dispose of a body without asking any questions.

If you regularly lay awake on a Sunday night, dreading your day at work on the Monday, it's probably time to find yourself another job/profession.

Don't be unhappy at a job. There are plenty other options out there.

Almost the same as something told me once:

Each man is his own prince and should treat himself and others as such.


Yep, have always liked the v. similar "treat everyone else as you'd like to be treated yourself".
