    That was an awesome film.

    The greatest pleasure of my recent life has been speed on the road. . . . I lose detail at even moderate speed but gain comprehension. . . . I could write for hours on the lustfulness of moving swiftly.

    That is a question that no straight man would ever ask.

    Too honest?
    I don't know.
    But I do know that honesty can be really hard sometimes.
    Right call, What would hurt your Mum the most, the ill health of a nieces husband or a lie from a son?

    It's a stupid question... when the missus asks how many chicks you've fucked in the past do you tell her the truth?


    FUCK NO DUMBARSE!!!
    It's just one of those days, where you don't wanna wake up,
    everything is fucked, everybody sucks,
    You don't really know why but you wanna justify ripping someone's head off

    It's interesting question. Many people struggle to be honest with themselves so how can they possibly hope to be honest with other people...

    A wise man once said: "Always tell the truth because then people will believe you if you have to tell a lie."

    And no, honesty is not always a good thing. There are situations when it can be counterproductive.

    Honesty is usually the best option I think - what is the point is beating around the bush, and particularly in just telling people what they want to hear. Although I do like that line "ask me no questions and I'll tell you no lies"!

    As Skyrider said earlier: "If you can't take the answer, then don't ask the question".

    I have learnt to be more diplomatic in the delivery of the answer, but lying to someone who is genuinely wanting an answer is just not an option.

    Then, there is the situation when telling the brutal truth to someone is the best thing that can happen to them.

    How many of us once upon a time have wanted to spare the feelings of a person and so ommited to tell them the truth? Then further down the road found that we should have been more honnest as it would have been the better path?

    In doubt, be true. At least, you can't regret being honnest. Being deceitful, even by ommission, however...

    In fact honesty can be down right deadly... just imagine answering the following truthfully....Does this make my bum look fat?
