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.

ny nans last words to me (and i shit you not)were:
"bloody ragheads and coon's,
stealing all the jobs they should be on the next bannana boat to africa"
the advice?
(bear in mind she was almost 97 at the time)
"if one try's to steal your job T.D, shoot them"
she died three days later.

My ex wifeis what your nan would call a coon, and my daughter is what your nan might call a half cast, i come from a english family and the amount of hassle my nan gave me was just as bad, luckily my ex was patient and slowly won my nan over.
Since i was a kid i would always argue about her view on race with my gran (died AT 103) last thing she said to me was "sometimes i am wrong but damn it raff no-one is perfect, i dont hate anyone it's just so easy to pick a scapegoat"
Nan you rock
