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.

I miss the old buggerAdmittedly, as someone hurtling towards 40 like a particularly depressed lemming, I realise that I am an old bugger to most of you, however I will pass on some gems from a man i wish I had known much, much better. With a few other from other assorted bods........
1. Always open doors for an alleged lady. Worst case, you can slam it in her face, shout 'surprise!' and be off the premises before she wakes up and starts talking about commitment and stuff.
2. Never give your real name and address on a first date.
3. They're all snakes with tits.
4. Shoot the officer, the radio operator, the NCO (who'll probably be hiding behind a private anyway), someone having a shit, or someone having scoff. Do not shoot the cook, as they'll cheer you for hours.
5. If you're not in bed by 10pm, go home.
6. Anyone born South of Leeds is a soft shandy drinking puff.
7. 1200 hrs is officialy beer o'clock.
8. If in doubt of right of way while driving through a junction, just CHARGE. They'll move.
9. All coppers are bastards.
10. And too young. I've got shoes, a souvenir Kukhri and three dried ears older than you.
Cheers Grandad. Give 'em Hell (and a Dimple Haig)
