Advice from Old PeopleSometimes, just sometimes, old people say something worth listening to. Ok, so it's like picking the needle out of a whole haystack of mis-remembered war stories, but those gems should be celebrated.
Tell us something worthwhile an old-type person has told you.
Note, we're leaving the definition of old up to you, you smooth-skinned youngsters.

He didn't expect this....I don't know if this counts as worthwhile or not, but here goes:
My mate's grandad is an Irish pisshead and has been known to stretch the truth on a number of occasions but this one took the biscuit, or at least I hope he was stretching the truth...
My mate and his grandad were talking at a family do and the subject changed to celebrities for some reason. My mate's grandad piped up and mentioned that Christy Brown (subject of the film 'My Left Foot' starring Daniel Day Lewis) used to live near him and he had met him a few times down the pub. Someone mentioned it must have been great meeting someone who battled through his physical disability to achieve so much. He replied:
"No, he was a wanker. He caused a huge fuss every time he came to the pub. His brothers would sit him down at the bar and pour drink into his mouth, and if he didn't have things his way he'd kick up an almighty fuss. At the end of the night one of his brothers would have to take it in turns to wheel him into the toilet and wank him off to keep him quiet."
Like I said, I hope these were exaggerations....
