This is a question 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.

"Eat your crusts and your hair will go curly."

I was told
Eat your crusts or your hair will go curly. Hence I always ate the crusts and have had damnably straight hair all my life.

they've been toying with us!
I ate my crusts and only the front of my hair is curly, and really it's more wavy/frizzy than curly.
(I helped save b3ta! crackhouseceilidhband Fuck off back to Mumsnet, Sat 21 Jun 2008, 19:30, closed)
I ate all my crusts
and I do have curly hair. My daughter also eats her crusts and has poker straight hair. Her sister, who trims off the crusts, has a mass of curls.

Meh

I don't think I believe that one

There you go!
With a sample size of 5, science says NO.

Well I think
we can tell K2k6 where to go with his earlier "science" theory.

Looks like his Gran was right after all.

Remember folks, always believe the old people.

I wasn't the oldest there,

You look older.

Al looks
a helluva lot older than I thought he would. CHCB looks more gorgeous than I thought she'd look. The rest of you look about how I'd imagined

aw, thanks. Is that because I wasn't making my profile-picture angry retard face?

The QOTW girls are hot.
The fellas needed so much photoshopping before I put those pictures up.

I don't think
I'd seen the picture before, so yes, infinitely better than apple chewing face lady

I look younger
if I don't have a beard.

Hmmmmm

*wonders if looking older than you think means that I appear immature on b3ta*

*cries*
(Bazongaloid, Sat 21 Jun 2008, 20:32, closed)
Don't worry girls..
When I meet you all I'll definitely be the oldest one there : (
(I helped save b3ta! girlinthehole, Sat 21 Jun 2008, 20:44, closed)
@BGB
age is a number - the person you are is more important. By next April, I'll be on the other side of 40 as well.
(TheWeeWitch hasn't been here much recently .., Sat 21 Jun 2008, 20:49, closed)
And remember
you're only as old as the person you're feeling.
(Bazongaloid, Sat 21 Jun 2008, 20:51, closed)
@Weewitch
Age may be a number but my face doesn't fit my mind anymore. Your less inclined to be silly when you look like your mum.
(I helped save b3ta! girlinthehole, Sat 21 Jun 2008, 20:52, closed)
@Al
That's worse, that would mean I feel 45.
(I helped save b3ta! girlinthehole, Sat 21 Jun 2008, 20:53, closed)
Oh sorry
just ignore my advice then, it's clearly rubbish.
(Bazongaloid, Sat 21 Jun 2008, 20:56, closed)
oh
my mother told us this too. She ate her crusts and has slightly curly hair, her three daughters were always made to eat crusts and all have poker straight hair.
(I helped save b3ta! ascorbate, Sat 21 Jun 2008, 21:18, closed)
Al
Nah, I just thought you'd be younger than you appear. I think everyone on here is at least a little immature at times.

*pokes and runs away giggling*

Actually, now I think about it

You can't run away, you're dead!

If you made it rotting whale meat I would feel a whole lot better. And Bert would pole dance for us too.

I'm sorry, it had to be said.

I'm glad I've met you
because now I can really visualise that
(I helped save b3ta! Madam Marlboro wonders if you've found her yet, Sat 21 Jun 2008, 23:41, closed)
The question is
does that make it better or worse?
(Bazongaloid, Sat 21 Jun 2008, 23:43, closed)
I'm not really sure
but I can see it now.

@ancrenne- both.

errrrm, MM, the pffft is meant to represent a sort of sputtering noise, you're not meant to break wind.

PFFFFT IN URE FACE!
sorry. stopped that nonsense now.

I don't know why that would be an incentive
I mean, presumably the old person is trying to get a child to eat crusts.

But why would curly hair be necessarily desirable? Surely it's all down to personal preference.

For me, I like straight hair. Curly hair is a turn-off.
