Time...

[sweetpea]

It always amazes me how much time other people have and I hear so many little ditties about time that I wondered what you guys think of it? Or do you have any special thoguhts on time?

[Lord Flasheart]

I never have enough really, and when I look at the time that has past I wonder why I still havent got the knack of making the most of it. Plus the older I get the faster it seems to go.

I like the Groucho Marx quote though .. "Time flies like an arrow but fruit flies like a banana"

[joxville]

With all the 'labour-saving' gadgets and ready meals the people of today have less free time than those of 50 years ago. We are either losing it, trying to make it up, trying to find it or wasting it We just never seem to have enough of it.

Anyone who has seen The Shawshank Redemption may remember the line by Brooks Hatlin on his release after 50 years in prison,"The world has gone and got itself in a great big hurry".


And for what?, I ask you

Time is all relative................if your mother-in-law visits, time really drags.

What with the time spent on the org, searching google for answers to questions on the org, answering emails, forwarding emails, and the computer games and the hand held games, and shopping in Tesco and driving the kids to school, guides, brownies, scouts, dancing and taking the dog for a walk, spending time at the hairdressers, getting our nails done, waxing our legs, topping up our tans, reading the Courier, reading the Groat, reading the Sunday papers, watching Big Brother, watching all the talent programmes, watching the football, rugby, voting on those taking part in talent programmes, going for meals in the cafes, restaurants, going for a pint, playing golf, watching tv etc., etc., it's a wonder we have time for anything...

P.S. I do believe some people actually go to work as well.....

Oh Torvaig, your list of all the activities we get up to, or could get up to has exhausted me, I think I will go back to bed to recover, for a wee while

I watched that film and really felt sorry for him and what is more, I really knew how he felt...

Ah, but, there's more! What about the time spent trying to get a good deal on holidays abroad to enjoy all this spare time we have, buying all the suntan lotion, body belts for when we are mugged, tying rope to our children so that they are not abducted or else we are looking for short breaks so that we can sit on a crowded train, drive through horrendous traffic....oh how I long for the holidays!

[EDDIE]

i think the saying the older you get the quicker the time goes is a very true saying

[chaz]

I never seem to have enough time,no matter how early i get up still rush round 90% of the day then fall into bed shattered!! Do cheat a bit with internet breaks so i suppose if i didnt have them would get more done

I have to tell my OH if she spent less time worrying about the jobs that I am not doing, she would have the time to do them instead
or we could get some more pixies.

To be honest Anne, I haven't been abroad all that much and certainly not to places like Ibiza etc., as I don't like the heat. The weather we are having here just now is warm enough for me.

My friend from Skye was phoning me today to ask when can I go over but that doesn't take much arranging......get the dog into kennels, pack a bag and catch the bus!

I better remember on the midgie repellant though...

[Anne x]

Congrats on your 1k agree with you about Spain etc watch them midgies worse than the mosquitos enjoy Skye
