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 think that comment
is just asking for a reference to Enzyme being an empty wheelbarrow isn't it!

Empty ones tend to bounce around
especially on rough ground. Presumably that's why you'd want the thing bouncing behind you rather than risk a smack in the shin/knee/somewhere?
edit: chcb, you really can't let al go unpunished for that remark. Smite him!

@CHCB
It can have two men in it, as long as there is a bonus woman too.

you lot can go camping,
I'll find a hotel nearby. Unless they've invented a tent with en-suite bathroom, electrical sockets and central heating.
@chcb, yes, you MUST have two men or the tent explodes. Up to you how many women, though.

does 'beer'
mean 'real ale'? I'm still recovering from The Great Two Days of Vomiting And Feeling Like Death after the last time I had a few too many of that. It's not a natural drink for an Irish type.

It generally does
but at the beer festival I went to in london they had a wide selection of lagers and white beers available, so not always.
And Ireland makes some astounding ales, Kilkenny is one of my favourite drinks, and I wish it got exported, I've never seen it in theUK sorry, England, and only get to drink it when I've been to Dublin.

I've signed up
to PJM's camping thing. I used to live above a camping shop, so I'm sure I have a tent and sleeping bag somewhere.
Off to continue the painting project now
