This is a question 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.

Never put a sock in a toaster.
Never put jam on a magnet.
Never throw your granny in a bag.
Never suck all the juice out of a vampire.
Never lean over on a Tuesday.

Eddie Izzard?
Sounds familiar... it's the jam that does it.

@ DG
Yep, it's Eddie :) I once wanted to compile an Izzard drinking game, for every time he mentions jam, James Mason, Sean Connery, monkeys, pigs, Mrs Badcrumble, Hitler or when he breaks into French.

@ BK - from Definite Article says the internets, I can't be arsed to check!

Ah, yes. Been ages since I've seen them. They've kind of blended into one in my head.

I found a facebook group
dedicated to playing the Izzard version of rock, paper scissors, called Jam, Badger, Flag.

It was very funny.

@ BK
I have all of Eddie's DVDs and I've watched them so much I can't remember either. I consider it a testament to his amazingness.

Dear St Paul
Fuck off! Who are you, anyway? What kind of person sends letters to a whole city? And what's all this? Jam on a magnet? Socks in a toaster? Just piss off!

Love and kisses, the Corinthians.

Classic. Respect.
