A simple phrase, "remember to bring a plate", used by Kiwi's whenever there is a social gathering of sorts - very popular for Thirsty Thursday drinks :)

The underlying meaning is "Bring a plate of something to share, no matter how small or cheap" as it is the bringing of the plate that matters and not really the contents.

Unless you want to throw your hard earned trust and loyalty away then choose actual people and not organisations, they don't care and haven't since last century.

Be loyal to those that are in your heart, people that stand next to you, friends that are there for all the times.
