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"

    • I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.  
    • In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.
    • There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can. 
    • Like I thought… prob like that for most of the day.. especially after people had walked their dogs, with friends, relatives  kids…
