My favourite quote is 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you'.
Life really is a roller-coaster with it's ups and downs and varying speeds. Yet no matter how hard you try to stay on an even keel, something always comes along to kick you in the teeth and remind you just how fragile life is. We are all trying to live the best we know how and to get along together. So take time to appreciate those around you and tell them how much you love them occasionally. A smile and a kind word speaks volumes.

We have something called Cockney rhyming slang in England usually associated with London) - for instance: Apples and pears = stairs, a titfer is a hat as in tit-for-tat. Try googling Cockney Rhyming Slang. We also say 'spot on' if something is correct. Cor blimey is old-fashioned but still gets used. Not many people speak the good old 'Queen's English' any more unless they are out to impress someone. Personally I hate it when talking to someone who misses out the 'S' in words, for example yea instead of yes. We also have street talk which I really don't know much about. The youth seem to talk a completely different language. I try not to swear, especially in front of my children.
