Surprised this one hasn't made it to the forum yet. Here goes.

F3 Pilot to backseat passenger up for a jolly (sorry, Air Experience Flight), just before taxi out :-

In fact if we are being pendantic about this Bleth it's flying related and not advice, just a statement of what would happen !


Good one liner though

From my late Mum as I left home to catch the train to join the Riff-Raff:

''Now son, 3 bits of advice:
Never ask a woman what's been wrong with her.
Never look in a woman's handbag.
Always keep your fingernails clean.''

Not bad advice for the late '60s!
Bless you Mum,
mcdhu

Never work for people who s**t in the street.

Marry a girl with small hands.

Q. What's the difference between light and hard?
A. You can always go to sleep with a light on.

Nothing matters very much, most things don't matter at all.

1 ) Don't worry about the small problems in life.

2 ) Al problems are small problems.

3 ) Don't cr@p on anyone as you climb up the ladder - you may need their help as you climb down.

No woman has ever shot her husband whilst he was doing the dishes.

If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.

Insert appropriate activity, for this post I've used Bikers, could easily be pilots, sky divers, hang gliders (but they're all flying related).

Save money on laundry. hand your dirty shirts into Oxfam. They will wash and iron them and you can buy them back for 50p.

Why do today what you can put off 'til tomorrow?


Why put it off 'til tomorrow when you can avoid doing it at all?
