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'll have a go:1) If someone is worth waiting for, then surely the amount of time you wait is the appropriate length of time. As my Mum says - "if it's meant to be, it'll happen". Failing that, make it happen and go get them!
2) Buses have their own time system which is directly linked to nicotine. Light a cigarette and, no matter how long you've been waiting, the bus will come.
3) The record for a salmon caught with hook and line is 126 pounds, but they average at about 30 (Alaskan salmon), so that might be a good tagert. You could try herring bait or even Salmon eggs, they love a bit of that.
Thank you. My invoice is in the post! :)
EDIT: What in the name of good Christ is a 'Tagert'? Am I implying that a wizened old Scottish detective should be fishing with you saying "och! This salmon's been MURDERED?"
