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.

TRL I agree for the most part
but wasn't going to bring up the age thing as it sparked an ugly debate last night. It's clear that Ancrenne and Gayer will have differing opinions on things as they have had different life experiences. No better, no worse, just different.
However, surely the common sense view is that you do not refer to someone who's company you have enjoyed several days ago and have chatted with online a 'fuckmeat' or a bint.
It's a given, they're just words, semantics, psychobabble etc... but they are hurtful words given the context in which they're said and the person whom they're uttered by.
