Good advice comes in bad wrappings.

A corporate trainer said something fantastic to me this week:

“Nervousness is vanity.”

It says a lot don’t it?

He was an ex-tory councilor which will explain why he knew so much about con-games.

Honestly, he did.

He wanted us to play against him in the game NIM. He said he invented it and was a world champion. I can’t criticise him for stretching the truth, I’m hardly on the moral high ground in that dept. He did give me one of those great backhanded compliments though:

“You don’t look like a con-man.”

Good chap none-the-less. I mean, he failed the con, since no one took up the challenge. He’s got the noodle, but you gotta have a shinier hook to get the lettuce.

On a different note: Do you have any idea how many videos there are on you tube of falling leaves?
