    Are you Risk Averse ?

    Judging by a lot of the comments on the forum, about finances, business arrangements, investments, looking for contracts etc, I have come to the suprising conclusion that I am risk-averse.
    I never knew that about myself, but thats the conclusion I am led to

    so what about you ?

    Give me a rope and tell me it's a bungy and I'll still jump.

    You know what they say about assumptions!

      I am perpetually terrified of the future. Does that count?
      While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

        I'm averse to Risk. It takes far too long to play and there's always an argument about how many armies you get at the start of each turn.

            I'm always worried that the past is going to catch up.

                how can you be risk averse when you have a cack in car park ?

                  I'm happy to accept that risk is inherent in most things.

                  I mitigate this by carrying spare trousers and a pocket pack of mansize tissues

                    This is what happens when you won't risk using the bog at work. Sometimes not taking a leap is the riskiest choice of all.
