True. It's been so long since I had an alcoholic drink that I am feeling the effects of it.

Having issues with WD 2go trying to get my dads phone and tablet using the app, but can talking via other apps.

Two happy thoughts today.

a) received my contract for my new job (it's not real until you have the signed paperwork) - countersigned, scanned, and emailed, with hard copy following in the post

b) my wife and I are off to New York / New Jersey / Pennsylvania next week for eight days, doing a bit of tourism for three days in Manhattan, then visiting relatives in NJ/Penn - I have used Air Miles / Avios points I have been saving up to upgrade us to BA Business Class (there and back); it will be a nice surprise for my wife (I am not going to tell her until we get on the plane).

denphone · 31-01-2013, 17:08

Well good luck in your new job Hugh and also l hope you both have a lovely holiday in the land of the free.

A few days late but a happy thought none the less. Amazon sent me an email to say they have upgraded my pre order of Skyfall from a standard edition to a limited edition steel book copy at no extra charge

This isn't going to be for everyone but as some will know I've been through turbulent times in the past 12 months. In amongst my spiritual beliefs I like to supplement them with motivational thoughts.

There used to be a WWF (as it was) wrestler called The Ultimate Warrior. His character was a total nut-job and in reality he's just about the same. Anyway he posts motivational videos about surviving life in general, fitness workouts and his unique perspective on life. One of his most well-known quotes is "You must show no mercy…nor have any belief whatsoever in how others judge you…for your greatness will silence them all. Always believe".

It's often misunderstood (you kind of need to know his persona to realise he's not really telling you to have 'no mercy' - he only means that towards those who deliberately try to hold you down) but it's a good line. All he wants is for you to fully realise the potential of your greatness (he refuses to believe all humans can be anything other than 'great'). Anyway I won't link to them directly as they often contain F-bombs but just do a YouTube search for 'Warrior's Injection of Wisdom' if ever you're feeling down, intimidated or need a shot of motivation about something. He has a number of videos on there.

As I said, it won't be for everyone and the guy is a stark raving lunatic - which he confirms himself - and it's this intensity that motivates his fans.
