Useless adviceAs a new parent, people seem to think it's OK to pass on any and every old wives tale possible. "Don't hug him too much". What? Quite what possesses people to pass on baseless, idiotic, useless advice I don't know.
That said, I quite often give car drivers directions and then, after they've moved off, realise that I've sent them down a bike-only route, so I can give as good as I get.
What useless advice have you been given (or handed out) recently?

'TOM!...How would you like to forget Year 4, and move straight on to year 5 after summer? You've proved yourself to be more than capable.'
At the time, I was 8.
8.
Was I going to say no?
Fuck off was I.
And how exactly could I have proved myself after spending one year in that school?
Wind round to just over 3 years ago, and my secondary school teachers, who are clearly sick to high buggery of my refusal to complete work of a satisfactory standard, telling me with hands in front of faces 'nicely' that I will (thats WILL, not should) re-take year 11 after acheiving 3 A-C grade GCSEs.
Which would have been enough to get me into the college I spent the last 2 years at anyway.
So I don't know who I'm more annoyed at; the twunts who decided to ask an 8-year old for his view on a potentially life-changing decision, or the wazzocks in a grammar school who refused to take their opportunity to get rid of me.
Still, I'm at Aberystwyth uni now, wiping my ex-headteachers face in it. No I'm not stupid... You just can't teach me. Because you're wankers. Yes.
Meh, rant ceases here...
