The best advice you could give ?

Just because you can see a gap in the traffic coming round an island, don't anticipate that the car waiting is going to go, otherwise you might get a really close look at their rear windscreen :oops:

If it seems too good to be true, snap it up quick before some other bastard spots it.

Sunscreen-I heard that somewhere.There were some other bits but Ive forgotten em.

Eat more bacon.
Have more sex.
Laugh more.

(not necessarily in that order !)

I try to not have too many "IF's" in life but this one just about covers it.

(Obviously not mine but Mr Kiplings. Bloody good cakes too)

IF you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

Phobos is not a safe place
Don't board the USG Ishimura
Rubbing Djinn on your Efreet is a welcome tonic for the troubled soul

The best whisky in the world is Johnny Walker Black Label. Whoever tries to persuade you to spend ridiculous amounts of money on old malts, or Johnny Walker Pink/Green/Blue/Rainbow Label is not someone I would like to have a drink with. It was good enough for Gaddafi, Kim Jong Ill and Christopher Hitchens. It's too good for me. And to mix it is a reason to commit murder, my son.

The best advice was given to me years ago by Neil Young - "It's better to burn out than to fade away" and as I get older I use it more and more.

Norman Tebbit: "Hero" (as in c$$t of Thatcher's Tory Party): "get on your bike". He didn' t mean training for the Tour to save the country from underwhelming cycling results.

"If you want to, touch the sky, put a window, in your eye":

The band Coil and their double glazing salesman.

"Johnny Walker Red. Ok. Johnny Walker Blue and Green: very expensive, over rated. Black Label;: perfect. You will win the Tour de France"

When there's plenty, take a lot

When it's scarce, take it all.

Take off and nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.

Fill your life with great memories.

Don't bend over in the showers.

One of my granda's pearls of wisdom I ignored much to my dismay - "stay single your pockets will jingle"

Never get out of the boat.

There's three sides to every story - yours, mine and the truth.

Never join an internet forum, you'll end up wasting too much of your life!

You've got to learn somehow, you're a damn fool if you choose the hard way.

Cliché but just do to others as you'd have done to yourself and you won't go far wrong...

Redhog14

the only 2 pieces of advice my old man gave me amounted to..

1 - Make sure you are in charge
2 - Don't start fights but make sure you know how to end them

My best advice is:
Consider all the options and don't rush things.
Just ride your bike.
Laugh everyday.

napoleond

Never swallow chewing gum.

Dont book the plumber to visit on a Friday afternoon when you are planning a sneaky late afternoon ride....

An hour and a half so far and no sign of fixing the boiler.

My worldly advice is "you don't know until you try".

Also "just do it". Stolen by Nike.

Peddle Up!

If you are getting older, then clearly you are fading away rather than burning out! If you aren't dead already, you didn't follow the advice properly

Best advice? Enjoy and appreciate what you have now. Most people don't.....
