"As I walked out the door toward the gate that would lead to my freedom, I knew if I didn't leave my bitterness and hatred behind, I'd still be in prison".

Nelson Mandela

A thought from me.

Remember no matter how bad things are in your life there is always someone worse off.

Count your blessings and recognise your own talents and strengths.

And don't die wondering.

An ex-bandmate of my often used this one:

"When I wake up in the morning, I wake the wife and send her down to get the paper. When she brings it back, I check the death notices. If I'm not in them, I get up ..."

Another expression Annette's mam used regularly was, eg,

"It didn't take a comer (pronounced comb-er) - or possibly a cormer - out of him" - meaning it didn't bother him in the least ...

Have googled it without success. Must be an old Dub one, I never heard it before I was married. Maybe Frank or Poguey have a clue ... ?

When I was a kid, my Ma used to say, on coming home after being out visiting:

"Home sweet home, and the fire black out"!

Clearly, the days before central heating !
