Don’t eat the yellow snow. My mate Brian. Winter 1972.

Don't eat soup with a fork. By a bloke who saw me eating soup with a fork in a 'greasy spoon' just off the B32 back in 1973. I asked him why and he said not to speak with my mouth full. I argued that my mouth wasn't full because I couldn't keep the soup on the fork. He shook his head and left. He was still shaking his head when I overtook him some 20 minutes later. I think it was a Wednesday. Could've been Thursday, I suppose, but certainly no later and no earlier. I remember 'cos I was wearing my checked shirt and, back in '73, I only wore checks during midweek.

Always start a jigsaw with the straight edges.

//Always start a jigsaw with the straight edges.//

Never do a jigsaw puzzle in the conventional fashion. Instead do this:

1. Get somebody else to do it for you.

2. When they've completed it (some days or weeks later) turn the puzzle upside down using two boards so that the blank side is uppermost.

3. Take a pen and number the reverse of each piece in a fashion that suits you and that you can understand (e.g. A1, A2....for the top row, B1, B2.... for the second row, etc.).

4. Break up the puzzle making sure none of the pieces are lost. Alternatively get the person who completed it for you to break it up. Despite having taken three weeks to complete it, for some unfathomable reason they seem to revel in breaking it up almost immediately.

5. When you want to remake it (if you're inclined to do so, personally I wouldn't be) sort the pieces into rows and columns according to your numbering scheme on the back of each piece.

6. Assemble the puzzle face down (far easier than trying to do so from a miniature version of the picture provided on the box).

7. Turn the completed puzzle over using the same two board method.

8. Hey Presto! Done !!!

Looks like the 70s were a renaissance for good advice.

I forgot to add to my advice:

9. As an alternative you might like to stop after Step 1.

"You can sometimes trust a thief, but never a liar."

[vulcan42]

From my driving instructor who was an ex metropolitan police instructor. Drive as if there's a police car in front and one behind you, you won't go far wrong.

Never clean a man’s shoes.
From my granny. I’ve always followed that advice.
