    O/T Who can improve on this

    In my humble opinion, the word "trust" is the most important word in the English language.

    I'm not sure but i'm definitely trusting the media less and less when it comes to transfers. I think i'll ignore most of the reports until a medical is confirmed

    Information direct from the club is all you need to trust.

    Good question Pat. I’ll up your ‘trust’ and go for ‘morals’.
    Doing the right thing even if you won’t be found out doing otherwise. Do you? In my experiences you benefit more in life with strong morals in the long run even if you may benefit in the short run from not ‘doing the right thing’.

    In my experience the word is "Timing", being in the right place at the right time. It applies to most things in life.

    There’s a bumper sticker here which translates as ‘kindness breeds kindness’. Very true, if you think about it.

    Yep.

    And I wasn't trying to be glib, either. It's just that kindness transcends all religions, creeds, etc and is the antidote to most of the shit going onin the world at the moment.

    Easier said than done, obvs.

    As regards trust. Don't buy a Rolex from a man out of breath.

    What a great selection you have all come up with. Kindness, Morals, Timing, and Trust. I would only add one other to those and that is values along with understanding others' values. i.e. to a dung beetle a cow pat is a feast.

    Joking apart a comparison comes easy to mind. Of the five virtues we have listed above, thankfully our new owners appear to have all of them, compared to our previous owner who had none.
