Settle a debate for me - consistent vs persistent

Consistent -  Unchanging in achievement or effect over a period of time.

Persistent - Continuing firmly or obstinately in a course of action in spite of difficulty or opposition

Much of a difference really?

Watch this and I promise that by the end, you won't give a rat's ass.

I want to watch it.  I really do.  But I got 59 seconds in when my eyes glazed over.  So I paused it for a bit.  After a wee break, I pressed play again and stuck it out until 6:01.  My persistence sucks in this case.

There is a difference. Persistent is a decision to continue a course of action when others might rather you didn't; consistent could be a single action but over a long period, need not be against any resistance and is generally goal-related.

"I have failed my driving test ten times"
"Well at least you're consistent"
"I've told the bloke at Alfa Romeo I'm coming in the second I pass and I'm taking it again next week"
"I admire your persistence!"

Is persistence not goal related and therefore they're effectively the same?

Sorry. 1 in the morning and I did a whoopsie. Consistent is less likely to be goal related as the consistency is the goal itself; persistence is a means to an end.

The motivation is a good way of telling the difference, I suppose, in that respect.

Hi RED DOG, hope your well

Today I went to Southampton with my cousin to see a puppy he wanted. She was really cute, we are picking her up next week

Hi Dreenie.

I can't see the picture from that link. What kind of puppy is it?

Is it really cute or are you just saying that because it's a little fluffy baby with big eyes and floppy ears?

Another chapter in my quest to prove that as a member of the most advanced species on the planet, I can use my position at the top of the evolutionary ladder to exert my will over lesser creatures.

So far I've beaten the wasps, and managed a 6 all draw with the moles, but I'm losing miserably to this.......

Ahh, now THIS will be good.

Tom and horses.

Much better.

One approves.

[TightEnd]

why is the horse difficult Tom?

Is it yours?

What do you want the horse to do?

Do you trade horses?

I don't trade horses these days, but I have to admit to having been sorely tempted to buy the occasional 'worthless' colt foal and run it on for a couple of years.

This is Dolly, my son-in-law's waggon horse. She comes to stay with me during the summer.

She's absolutely bomb-proof when she's working, but when she's off duty she's difficult because it amuses her.

I want her to stop making a fool of me.

I have been known to use her name and the words 'Tesco' and 'Glue factory' in the same sentence.

   I may have mentioned turning them into 'rugs' as I was cleaning up the carnage left by the boys yesterday.

What's she been doing to make you look a fool?  We want tales!

Horse story later. Danger of blasphemy if I post too soon.


I'm currently dithering about going to DTD for the 1pm flight.

Best of luck.  Steam roll the lot of 'em!
