Not so happy new year

Sorry to put a downer on the new year. I read today we lost a woman at Croyde yesterday and now a 26yr old man from Home Counties at Porthleven Cornwall last night off the beach http://www.westernmorningnews.co.uk/...#ixzz2p8iVuNAd

Very bad for all families.

Can I just wish all rescue crews the very best during these storms and hope you dont have anymore of these events.

If we all lived forever, you'd be out of a job I just have a pragmatic attitude to death, it happens I don't intend wasting the time I've got, worrying about it.

Happy new year BTW

The wise learn from other peoples mistakes.

The sensible learn from their own mistakes.

The foolish never learn from their own mistakes.
