Yep, they were my first and second port of call - I don't remember the one's I seen before as the ones in the Wikipedia page.

Solon's Ten Ethical Dicta ...

1. Trust good character more than promises.
2. Do not speak falsely.
3. Do good things.
4. Do not be hasty in making friends, but do not abandon them once made.
5. Learn to obey before you command.
6. When giving advice, do not recommend what is most pleasing, but what is most useful.
7. Make reason your supreme commander.
8. Do not associate with people who do bad things.
9. Honour the gods.
10. Have regard for your parents.

In terms of marketability, Gods ones are a lot catchier.

Every single thread leads to him! Every damn one! I recon he wakes up in the morning, types his name into Google, and assumes the hit count is his popularity rating.

I bet he sits in study late into the night wondering how, just how it can be that he has done nothing but screw up everything he touches, that he can be so popular. I guess he concludes that he must be doing something right, so he carries on doing what he does.

I bet he thinks that the general election will be a cakewalk!

The trouble is, it probably will. There are enough idiots to vote him in again. How do you think they've won 3 general elections on the trot already?

One more for politicians

11) Thou shalt not get caught.

Idiots or benefits claimants?

Because the public bounce between 'booo we hate the tories, 10 years and we're not rich enough yet' to 'booo we hate labour, 10 years and we're not rich enough yet'

How can the grass be greener on the other side when it's been painted red or blue?

PS, dont vote for the green party
