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.

My former history teacherI may have previously mentioned my GCSE history teacher - crabby old menopausal harridan who used to touch herself whilst she was talking to us and seemed to have a 'thing' for Michael Portillo. But she did offer one sound bit of advice:
"A friend in need is not a friend."
I'd like to think I'm not quite that miserable and selfish myself, but having met my fair share of spongers since, she had a point.

I've heard it asA friend in need is a pain in the arse.

Almost certainly a variation on the same theme......but she might have got into a little trouble for saying "pain in the arse" to a bunch of 15-year old pupils.
Assuming a bunch of 15-year olds would take offence at the word "arse."
So probably not, in actual fact.
EDIT: @Bert...are you suggesting my history teacher was some kind of rampant bumsexualist?

Well,they are the best kinds of bumsexualist.

I always interpreted that asA friend in (times of) need is a friend indeed.
Put another way: friends help you move, but real friends help you move bodies.
