Advice from Old People
Sometimes, 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.

I was once advised by someone
Who had great mistrust of technology: "Use the internet as a reference source, but never, EVER, agree to meet up with anyone you come into contact with online".
Shit...
Evening you wonderful, wonderful lot. You know who you are...

Okay, so you're not double my age, but you're not far off.
I did actually say to both Wanderlust and my father that you look much younger in real life than you do in the apple eating picture.

There's always
Punch and Judy by Marillion, from their Fugazi album.
That's way before you were born, Gayer!

About 90% of the music I listen to started and/or finished before I was born.
My music taste is twice my age.
