#2t comment

[2types]

All my own work (well, not quite all)

Amidst the links and the pics and the quotes and the jokes and the reblogs and the random thoughts, it might not always clear which thoughts have come out of my head and which are others' that I just wanted to share.

So I've now tagged the thoughts which might be original '2T' or if not so, at least not knowingly and if it's a comment on someone else's I've added '2T comment'. As below. Just in case you'd like to know. 

But as Goethe wrote, “Who can think something clever or something stupid that has not already been thought by his forefathers?”

“These people that are being isolated at present, all the wisdom and all the wit and all the culture that they had, the music and the singing, that’s all being lost to the younger generation”

Councillor Danny Healy-Rae on why Kerry County Council voted in favour of allowing gardaí to issue ‘indemnity passes’ so older people can drink-drive on minor roads and at speeds under 30 mph.

But don’t the drink-drivers who’ve not been caught do that anyway?

And if you want to support local music and venues and old drunks sharing their wit and wisom with young people, why not join me when I cycle home...

Syncopation

Kevin refers to my behaviour as ‘syncopation’: an irregular movement from bar to bar.

"Serendipity... The faculty of making happy and unexpected discoveries by accident."

Shorter Oxford English Dictionary, with reference to Horace Walpole's 1754 novel 'The Three Princes of Serendip' who "were always making discoveries, by accident and sagacity, of things they were not in quest of". 

Note the 'faculty' part - serendipity doesn't happen if you don't give it the opportunity to.

"That which comes through the garden gate is not family treasure"

Chinese proverb. (And why you need to work out the two types of music for yourself)
