This I know. I think.

Latest news from the medicos is that I've got about ten to fifteen years left. Not long, so I'll make this quick.

This is what I've learnt from a long and fairly miserable lifetime of struggle. The accumulated wisdom of waving from the deep end with nobody noticing.

1 I'm not sure of anything anymore

2 Moderate drinking won't do you much good

3 Don't be shy. It's no good asking her when she's old and fat. Especially if you're old and fat.

4 There are no great managers, only a few good ones

5 Clean your teeth regularly

6 Take small steps but take lots of them

7 Don't be afraid to ask.

8 What have you learned? Be brief.

More later, once the medication has kicked in.
