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.

Sound Advice.When I was 18 or so, I visited my grandparents with my girlfriend at the time, who I had been seeing for about 6 months.
Later on in the day gf was helping my gran in the kitchen, I'm chatting to my grandad and he says, "Aye, she's a bonny looking lassie son but you're too young to settle down, you should be out living a bit, you know what I mean, what the lass doesn't know won't hurt her". I was a bit surprised to hear this until he told me that he had done pretty much the same when he was younger.
When we were about to leave he winked and said "Remember lad, it's not cheating if you don't get caught".
Which at the time was probably the best advice I had heard.
