A great bit of advice I saw in a film was in 'The Bronx tale'. The gangster tells the kid who he has taken under his wing that if he wants to know if a girl is worth seeing again he should open the car door for her and then walk around the car to the driver's door. If she reaches over and opens it for him then she's worth it. If she doesn't then it shows she's selfish and only thinks of herself.
My late dad always said never be jealous or envious of anothers success or good fortune, simply strive to be as good if not better than them, and he always said if haven't got anything good or postive to say then say nothing. Unfortunately the latter advice I find hard to stick to when it comes to all things football.

For some reason it really used to annoy me when girls didn?t lean over and unlock the drivers door after I had let them in. Not sure why and I never acted on or said anything about it though. I would just have a mutter as I walked around to the driver?s side.


Not had a car without central locking in at least 10 years though so, happy days, it is no longer an issue.

And of course you made a cameo in that film JTT, so it's likely as not good advice.

I can see how you were frustrated by that one, because you didn't get the full story. It should read:


"Before you judge someone walk a mile in their shoes; because then you're a mile away, and you've got their shoes"

    • Give the Monster Raving Loony party a shot. They cannot be worst that what is around now.
    • I’m going to stick my Gregory Peck right out and say not the Tories.
    • I think there's a lot in what you say. Although bi election results aren't usually indicative of GE results, I was horrified to see Reform support was so high in what had previously been a Labour stronghold, Labour and Conservative results reflecting the tired old parties they are.  It isn't our generation (sorry @Sue if I'm being presumptuous!) that will decide the outcome of elections but those in their 20s, 30s, 40s ... if they can be bothered to vote. The Greens and Reform now present a real choice instead of two centrist main parties of the last 30 years which has put people off voting. Perhaps locally I will continue to vote Labour, i really couldn't bear for the LibDems to return and we have to consider the demographic of the whole of Southwark. But come the GE I will probably vote Green.  
    • I agree but in the case of McAsh, that would just have left his constituents without a councillor for 3 months until the May elections. MPs switching parties is really galling. If an MP is suspended for law breaking etc., then a recall petition can be issued and, if enough of the constituents support it, a by-election is called. I think the same should apply for defectors.
