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"

    • Thanks penguin  always wondered about that place and that’s way more info than I ever thought I would get  (used to live above a gun nut on friern road - he would tell me nothing)
    • There was a Saturday afternoon crowd of enthusiasts, and at other times the owner might have been off acquiring stock. He also repaired air guns, which he also sold. He stocked edged weapons, uniforms, including antique uniforms, air guns and ammo and starting pistols and shot. Some medals and other militaria. Quite a lot of ex service chit chat on a Saturday. I had an amateur interest, didn't deal a lot, in English pattern swords and other mainly 19th century militaria. And made some good purchases there. I'm afraid WWII and later events was the major focus of most of the regulars. 
    • Did anyone actually venture in to that place? I recall it always being closed/very uninviting!
