    Default Best advice

    what was the best advice your Father - Mother - Mentor ever gave you

    My dad 's advice was
    Don't choke the hammer
    Never put anything past your elbow in front of a chisel
    A nail only needs 3 hits
    Fingers cut easier than push sticks
    Goggles only stop the splinter that you never see
    Never work for or employ friends or relatives
    Never say cop this always say cop that.
    and a hole heap of others

    But whats the ones you remember and live bt
    Ashore




    The trouble with life is there's no background music.

    One piece of advice from my father that sticks in my mind is:

    "If your not in bed by 12 o'clock (midnight)..... come home

    Never really got much advice from the old man, but have never forgotten how he taught me to swim.
    Actually, when he threw me in the river, the swimming part wasn't all that hard.
    But by the jesus it was hard getting out of that bloody hession bag!

    From my late Mother when I joined the RAAF:
    Keep away from the main gate, theres girls waiting there who want you to do 'things' to them.
    She was wrong
    Father on electricity:
    Electricity flows around a light globe, not through it.
    Needless to say he was not a tech type at all.
    And one night at the Shrine in Melbourne while on a photo shoot with a friend, we were approached by the uniformed shrine guard:
    Watch ouit for the trees, theres c#nts in them trees that will jump out and get you.
    Still get a chuckle out of that, there weren't and we wasn't got
    Stupidity kills. Absolute stupidity kills absolutely.

    From my Dad: Always buy the best tool you can afford.
    From my WW teacher: Never put your fingers anywhere you wouldn't put your doodle!

    My old man told me "Be your own man, don't take advice from wankers." Later he gave me a clip around the ear for ignoring him.

    Also, the day I got my license he made a thing about presenting me with the keys to the family car, gravely telling me "Keep the greasy side down, boy!" Of course, that 'un led to a bit more than a clip around the ears.
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    Craig me ol' mate. How do you keep posting when your log in light says you're not logged on :confused:
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    Never eat more than you can lift....


    My old man never gave that much advise, he just taught by bad example....
    I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

    As Wongo's dad may have advised

    If we all put our hands up, it may come back on, after all:

    Manyhands make light work!
