Rules For Life
Advice. Everybody wants to give it away, very few of us are prepared to accept it.
There are only three pieces of advice I've ever taken on as universal, and I can't even remember the third.
1. Too much of anything is bad for you
2. Remember who your friends are
What's the best advice and/or rules for life you've ever been taught?

Don’t pull the triangle when you want a piece of Toblerone. Pinch the end two pieces together - voila one piece of Toblerone.

Re: Rules For Life
My Dad.
If anyone ever tries to bully you hit them. You might lose the fight but you’ll win the war because bullies like easy targets.
I’ve never been bullied.
Apart from by my wife.

Re: Rules For Life
Treat people how you'd like to be treated yourself
Motorways are just a very fast one way street, look a mile ahead, not 200 yards ahead
Assume everyone else on the road is a complete f*****g idiot !
Never bet with money you can't afford to lose
Always leave the Countryside or a Beach without any evidence that you've been there
Never trust the French
Getting married is like choosing the same Breakfast cereal for the rest of your life, don't do it if you still want to choose from a " variety pack " !
There are good and bad people of every race, colour and creed
Try not to bet on a " Handicap " race, they're all supposed to finish in a " Dead Heat "

Re: Rules For Life
Not so sure the last applies to most people. Or even the first in many cases. Good rules to be fair but as for being in your control I don’t think that is quite right.
