    Come on guys! I could do with some competition (I don’t want anyone *Cough Suzi*) to be able to claim I won through lack of entries - I’d much prefer to beat all of you, which I will do, obviously
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
