Don't

Don't - it's a four-letter word as far as I'm concerned. Well... four letters and an apostrophe.

Throughout human history, the existence of rules and instructions has more or less guaranteed that some bright spark would come along and want to break or ignore them. Now it's my turn

An Exercise In Futility

They say these things can't be done - or they imply they're not worth doing at all. I'm not about to just sit back and take that as given. I'm going to go ahead and try anyway.

On The Agenda

"I wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot pole" - but why not? I'm going to try touching things - maybe people too - with a ten foot pole, just to see what happens.

"No point reinventing the wheel" - We'll see about that.

"A sledgehammer to crack a nut" - How hard can it be?

"Sending coals to Newcastle" - What would be so bad about that?

"Like putting lipstick on a pig" - Well, we won't know until we try.

"Harder than catching a greased pig" - Might be able to try that one at the same time as the above.

"Better than a slap in the face with a wet fish" - Actually, I suspect this one might be right on target, but I might try it anyway - you know - just to be... contrarious.

"A Wild Goose Chase" .- This might be entertaining for a little while

"Putting al your eggs in one basket" - I have a basket, and some eggs...

"Putting the cart before the horse" - If I can find a horse, a cart and a willing owner, I'll try it - I promise.

"Sewing a button on a custard pie" - I'll admit, this does sound really pointless, but it's such a charming idea, I might do it anyway.
