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.

a few, but some of my favourites include:"always do what you believe in, not what others tell you to believe" - led to years in research
"better to be right and provably right, than popular" (that's served me well into a lot of social faux pas)
"if you're motives are pure, and your heart true, its easier to obtain forgiveness than permission"
"never forget Edmund, you're a Scot, your ancestors were Vikings" - has led me to depths of despond when looking at my ginger and blondeness. Tempted to use this excuse if I ever go mental with a battleaxe
"never trust a cat"
"never trust anyone who doesn't like labradors or retrievers"
"poodles? Wtf?"

And to add to that........dogs are a bloody good judge of character. If your dog doesn't take to someone, the chances are he's a dishonest prick.
