Just for Reg.
Let's start with the age-old philosophy exam question that's often asked, but never answered:

"There's always something more interesting to do than the thing you are supposed to be doing. Discuss."

Thanks Pete!

Blimey. Erm. I'm stumped already. In the words of my hero Bomb #20 in Dark Star: "I must think on this further"...

For as long as I or anyone else can remember, I've always struggled to to do something I've being told to. It's a character trait / flaw which means that anything I haven't directly chosen to do, will always seem less interesting than something I have.

Unless you are flying helicopters; that's really rather interesting! I expect the jet jocks would say the same, although I can't imagine they get much chance to think about anything else when they are rattling round Wales at 420 knots, skimming the valley walls, with eyes peeled for 'bogeys'...

Not sure about 'more interesting' but one is frequently mildly concerned that one should be doing something 'less pointless or futile' given only three score and ten to do everything in. I mean, jetwashing the drive? Deploying a petrol-powered leafblower? Taking longer to clean a bike than the time of the preceding ride?

Cosmic, maaaaaaaaan

Is this a question....

I'd love to stay and discuss this but got to ........................................

I got an appraisal at work once.

"Once he has been persuaded a task is worth doing, he can be relied on to achieve it."

Rumbled...

I will not, I have far more interesting things to do.

I'm currently attempting to persuade two centipedes to tango to YMCA rather than them stomp about and approximate letters of the alphabet.

I'm struggling to envisage anything more interesting, other than the introduction of a trombone.

sometimes its better to 'be' than do, anyone can do! not many take the time to just be!

i'll get me 'down' coat
