Rules for a happy life:
Life is not about how fast you run, or how high you climb, but how well you bounce.
Life is simpler when you plough around the stumps.
The trouble with a milk cow is she won't stay milked.
Forgive your enemies. It messes with their heads. (This is a modern adaptation of the original quote by Oscar Wilde: "Always forgive your enemies. Nothing annoys them more." - Ack I Mac.)

Don't wrestle with pigs: you'll get all muddy and the pigs will love it. (Based on a quote attributed to Cyrus S Ching, 1876-1967, US industrialist and labour-relations pioneer, "I learned long ago never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it.")
Most of the stuff people worry about never happens. (Probably based on an original quote attributed to Leo Buscaglia: Ninety per-cent of what we worry about never happens, yet we worry and worry. What a horrible way to go through life! What a horrible thing to do to your colon!" - Thanks Wayne)

The London Underground
The London Underground is an all-electric railway system that covers much of Greater London and some neighbouring areas. It is the world's oldest underground system, and is one of the largest in terms of route length. Services began on Janu8ary 10th 1863 on the Metropolitan Railway; most of that initial route is now part of the Hammersmith & City Line. Despite its name, about 55% of the network is above ground. Popular local names include the Underground and, more colloquially, the Tube, in reference to the cylindrical shape of the system's deep-bore tunnels.
The Underground serves 275 stations and runs over 408km (253 miles) of line. There are a number of former stations and tunnels that are closed. In 2004–2005, total passenger journeys reached a record number of 976 million, an average of 2.67 million per day.
Since 2003, the Underground has been part of Transport for London (TfL), which also administers Greater London's buses, including the famous red double-deckers, and carries out numerous other transport-related functions. The former London Underground Limited was a subsidiary of London Regional Transport, a statutory corporation.

Fancy a gadget?
Time was when a city gent’s idea of a stylish wardrobe was tailor-made on Savile Row. Now, crammed with wi-fi, MP3 and mobile phone technology, modern clothing is undergoing a high-tech makeover.
O’Neill H3 Series Video Backpack, £240 www.oneill.com
Designed for people who skate, surfboard or ski and want to video themselves doing it, this bag features its own lens attached to a flex, so you can mount a camera on your helmet or goggles. The basic operations of the camera are remotely controlled by a joystick built into the shoulder strap. Naturally, the pack also incorporates a Bluetooth module for hands-free calling while zipping down the slopes, and integrated iPod functionality.
Burton Audex cargo jacket, £420 www.burton.com
The “connected” jacket from Burton plugs into your mobile phone or MP3 player, allowing you to control everything from a display panel on the sleeve. The two speakers in the hood give you the perfect excuse for hearing voices in your head, while the control panel allows you to access the menus of any MP3 player, including the iPod, as well as your mobile phone — via a Bluetooth 2.0 connection. The music automatically stops when you receive a phone call.
Burton Audex Beanie hat, £45; www.burton.com
Fitted with the same Bluetooth technology as the cargo jacket, these hats allow users to pick up calls and listen to music from a compatible mobile phone without taking off your headgear. They keep your ears warm, too.
