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.

I was once advised by someone
Who had great mistrust of technology: "Use the internet as a reference source, but never, EVER, agree to meet up with anyone you come into contact with online".

Shit...

Evening you wonderful, wonderful lot. You know who you are...

You'll spot me by the very large vodka and tonic in front of me and my hand on some young man's knee.

Kindred spirit maybe?

Although, you probably had the leg that wasn't on the floor on him at some point too. ;) oi oi.

Okay, so you're not double my age, but you're not far off.
I did actually say to both Wanderlust and my father that you look much younger in real life than you do in the apple eating picture.

The best looking boys are taken
The best looking boys are staying inside
So judy, where does that leave you?
(Belgaer is, Fri 20 Jun 2008, 20:18, closed)

@Gayer
It's nothing to do with looks.

It's that certain something, that certain indescribable notion that they have a big fat sausage in their pants *laughs*

(Belgaer is, Fri 20 Jun 2008, 20:27, closed)

The only song
that springs to mind is Judy and her dream of horses, by belle and sebastian. Mainly as it;s the only song with the name Judy in it that I can think of...

Ask everyone who went last night...
There's no need to clean your leg, it's relatively quick and clean.
(Belgaer is, Fri 20 Jun 2008, 20:55, closed)

There's always
Punch and Judy by Marillion, from their Fugazi album.

That's way before you were born, Gayer!

About 90% of the music I listen to started and/or finished before I was born.
My music taste is twice my age.

Edit:
Like CHCB *winks*
