      That means you ahould take the immesiate payoff or be happy with what you have instead of spensing a bunch of time trying to get more.

        it also means don’t risk everything you have for a somewhat opaque promise of something better

        Hehe ok I’ll wear those down votes. I didn’t understand the reference as I heard it first on The Two Ronnies as ‘a bird in the hand is worth two in the shepherd’s bush’ which I think think might be a carry-on reference.

        I didn’t see why l would want a bird in my hand in the first place.

        PS - what happened to your D key?

          I switched keyboards on android, new one doesn’t have autocorrect or swipe, but it doesn’t connect to the internet. I don’t always proofread posts.
