Pessimists are either always correct or pleasantly surprised.

Which reminds me of one of my favorites.
The difference between an Optimist and a Pessimist is that the Optimist believes we live in the best of all worlds, while the Pessimist agrees with him.

Certainly true for the vein ones.

A bit late with this, but it's not like I knew him! [ I'm pretty sure he'd appreciate that!]
I'm a big fan of 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown - and his humour was the main reason for that. I can't see how it can continue without him. Genius.

I never saw 8 Out of 10 Cats, but I saw him doing stand-up, and in a couple of other shows. A very clever and funny guy.

EULACHON - initial letters of ...

Pipped by @PKFox, but correct. Well done!
To be fair, I hadn't heard of the word either, until it appeared in a newsletter from newsletter@howtogeek.com on 27th July which said
Did You Know?
The eulachon, a fish found in the Pacific Northwest, is a slender but very fatty fish known as the "candlefish" due to the way indigenous people would dry the fish and then burn them as a candle-like source of light.
It was the initial letters (EULA) that hit me as the idea for the clue.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Rainy day for Woodstock. Just like the original, I believe. Rain and mud, lots of it.
Enjoy!

Looks like the rain has passed - maybe a thunderstorm in the afternoon. And yes, lots of rain and mud in the original, but then again, it didn't actually take place in Woodstock NY!

If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.
