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.

Career ChoicesA good mate of mine was about embark on an apprenticeship fixing helicopters for the MOD at the tender age of sixteen, having previously worked at a third-rate over-priced hardware store, run by two militant lesbians with a lawnmower fixation. Upon finding out about this, a mate who shall remain nameless issues forth
"Jacko, mate. You don't want to fix helicopters for a living. The real money's in lawnmowing. Everyone's got a lawnmower. Not everyone's got a helicopter"
I can't argue with the logic, but have often challenged him to name a lawnmower that is valued at several millions of pounds. Sage advice from the man who once thought that Halfords sold bearded seat covers. Nuff said.
