Subject: RE: BS: Make no mistake! From: Donuel Date: 10 Nov 19 - 06:22 AM Mistakes are omni present and omni potent Warnings are written by manufactureers, phamaceutial companies and even governments in the form of a constitution, all to no avail. No one expected the Spanish Inquisition or someone who held the power stapler backwards. |

Subject: RE: BS: Make no mistake! From: Bonzo3legs Date: 09 Nov 19 - 06:04 AM "Make no mistake" was a popular phrase in the 1930s & 1940s, used often in a Celia Johnson film I remember with John Mills, other sentence add ons being "I must say" and "if it's all the same to you" !! |

Subject: RE: BS: Make no mistake! From: Donuel Date: 08 Nov 19 - 08:18 PM That is funny for reasons and realities you will never understand. More than that, you will never want to understand. Your Trump like humility does not and will not allow you to, and your personal certainty is more resolute than a fundamentalist religion. You make Lord Staunchly Staid Mc Stuckworthy seem flexible. |

Subject: RE: BS: Make no mistake! From: Steve Shaw Date: 08 Nov 19 - 07:06 PM I ordered some fencing for the front of my garden. There should have been eight stakes, but the suppliers only sent seven, so now I have a flock of someone else's sheep in my front garden. I'm lying in bed lamenting that missed stake... When I recorded my CD in 2004, my mate (who owned the recording studio) pressed the wrong button and my best shot at the Dublin Reel wasn't recorded. How I've regretted that missed take... My arthritis is always worse in damp, cold, foggy weather. I call it my mist ache... |
Subject: RE: BS: Make no mistake! From: robomatic Date: 08 Nov 19 - 07:04 PM And here I am second posting to myself because "I made a mistake!" Rather, continued to perpetuate one. Apparently Zhou Enlai did not make that earlier quote in reaction to a question about the French Revolution. But I'll let Mediamythalert tell the story. Yes, I'm assuming that that is telling the truth. |
Subject: RE: BS: Make no mistake! From: robomatic Date: 08 Nov 19 - 06:41 PM Judging the impact of mistakes is hard. Like the story of Zhou Enlai being asked what the effects of the French Revolution were: "It's too early to tell." |
Subject: RE: BS: Make no mistake! From: Donuel Date: 08 Nov 19 - 09:24 AM Mistakes like a mutation in DNA is not always a bad thing. It will take a long time to determine if the mistake is benificial or not so I'm with Big Al, mistakes are good- in the long run. |

Subject: RE: BS: Make no mistake! From: Mr Red Date: 08 Nov 19 - 03:39 AM was that a Miss Take? FWIW there are scientists who have located the sweet-spot in the art of learning. Apparently you learn fastest when you are making mistakes at about 15% of the time. I have a fridge magnet that says "I have learned so much from my mistakes, I am thinking of making another" |
