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.

A Few gems from the mouth of my old man...Probably one of the few questions of the week in which a post has immediately sprung out at me...
When I was about 14 my old man bestowed upon me his three goldren rules to dating... they have served me well.
1) Go ugly early
2) Beauty is only a lightswitch away
3) If they are not upto your standards, lower your standards.
the other wise words came from my uncle simon, who, over a family discussion about what you would do for money came out with this..
Simon "evil, would you give a man a blowjob for a million pounds?"
Me (about 15 now)"urrrghhh no way! never!
Simon "you have a lot to learn then, one of which is how much money a million pounds actually is, and the other is how much mouthwash you can buy with it"
and now, almost ten years later.... i can kind of see his point

fnarr.For a million pounds i'd consider it, having learnt how hard it is to earn even a few thousand, but at 14 you have little idea how hard it is to earn money.
of course, next time i want the money up front!

still wouldn't do itIf money can't make Hurley happy, it can't make me happy

moneyI kind of disagree with the whole 'money can't make you happy thing' I mean, I don't think it can make you happy, not really happy, but I think it can make you not unhappy if you see my meaning. It can get rid of most of life's worries, and that leaves you free to find happiness without always being bogged down with trying to get money.

Hmmm...is he good looking?

For a million quid...I'd do it even if they weren't good looking - provided I didn't hate them.
Of course if they were good looking *and* I fancied them, I'd do it for free..
Don't agree about the first three points though. They have to be pretty by my standards, I have to fancy them, and I'd rather wank than lower my standards.
