    ...you have been given or ignored.
    Given : any kindness you can show to someone do it now as you won't pass this way again.
    Ignored: he's too old for you .... Still going strong 18 years later :)

    Best piece of advice I ever got in my life was from ny dad.

    Never failed me yet. Cheers dad.

    Ignored- don't start smoking.

    Best advice- always be honest about your feelings. I'm ignoring that one too right now.

    That's terrible advice. 3 am is the worst time of the day to try and get home, better to wait til morning and get a bus.

    Unless your Dad meant three in the afternoon, in which case, carry on.:)

    If you are ever thinking of having an asphyxiw*nk have a normal w*nk first and then see if it seems like such a good idea.

    That despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, one should always insist on one's innocence.

    Thanks Shaggy.

    “You know," said Arthur, "it's at times like this, when I'm trapped in a Vogon airlock with a man from Betelgeuse, and about to die of asphyxiation in deep space that I really wish I'd listened to what my mother told me when I was young."
    "Why, what did she tell you?"
    "I don't know, I didn't listen.”

    My bank manager back in the late 80s refering to the affordability of my first mortgage...

    "If you cannot pay your months mortgage (or rent) and feed yourself out of two weeks wages, you cant afford it!"
    (or words to that effect)

    Great advise, pity I didn't keep in mind enough times.

    'So your ugly, have no friends and zero personality skills - why haven't you just gone and ended it all already?'

    A family member gave said that to me at Xmas, maybe i should i taken her advice.

    "If in doubt, **** it out"

    I'm convinced this saved me from both salmonella and bad relationships

    never drink a beer that has z in its name, it will give you the runs.

    all you prospective prazsky drinkers out there...

    This is a piece of advice my father gave to me.
    Now this refers not only to lagging, but all forms of insulation.
    He said "don't ever"...no, wait, it was "always"...no er, "never, never" - oh wait now, I've forgotten..... Never mind.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 212 ✭✭dupeters


    Best piece of advice i was given ---"Beware of the Yellow coloured snow"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,824 ✭✭✭vitani


    Best was 'check your mirror for the man on the bike'.

    Always have a "shouldn't" instead of a "What if" when you're looking back on life...

    Best advice I've ever gotten. Took me a while to figure it out, but it was from my Grandmother and when I asked her she said she looked back on certain scenarios and said to herself "What if I'd just said this..." or whatever, and when she was in hospital close enough to the end, she said in retrospect, she wished she could look back and say "I shouldn't have told that guy to shove his job up his a*se!"

    I really wanted to say that at her funeral mass in my 'Prayer of the Faithfuk' but apparently no swearing in a church, who knew...

    Anyway, it's going to be a tattoo soon! Fantastic advice!
