If you had a little brother/sister what would you pass on?

AskMyChocolate

I can't say that I'd have any great advice, bar don't make the same mistakes I made. Pretty futile advice. But I gave him "The Stone Roses" and "Bread". Two great albums. And I passed on the only piece of wisdom our Dad ever imparted before he died. I was sixteen, my little bro was only two.

"If you're ever in a situation with the Guards, you need to know three things.

1) You're probably both wrong and drunk,GO HOME, and if you wake up the following morning still feeling you were right, you can always talk to the SuperIntendent.

2) Mountjoy is full of people who thought they were smarter than the Guards.

and

3) Most important of all son. If you have only the price of two pints left in your pocket, don't ever buy a pint for a Guard, they don't know what it is to buy one back.

So, AHer's, animal, mineral, vegetable, spiritual, mental, emotional or physical; what would you pass on to a younger sibling?

In that case you just gotta walk it off.

1) Never turn your back on a ninja.

2) If you fight a bear and it isn't the last thing you ever do, tell me how you did it.

Don't ever turn the other cheek.
Turn both of them.

1 and 3 are probably wrong for a few reasons IMO.

I love the idea that your dads advice all seems to revolve around alcohol consumption and run ins with the Gardai. It might have been better of him to advise you to "avoid drinking and stay out of trouble." rather than "what to do when you have inevitable run-ins with the Gardai whilst boozing".

Never spit in a man's face unless his moustache is on fire.

Never get a tattoo of a woman, a band or a celebrity.
Always look at the price.
Once you've decided something that can't be changed again, forget about it.
Never buy uncomfortable shoes even if they look nice.

Dang, somebody has issues with the guards!

On the OP's question, to one brother I passed on my footballing ability...rovers were looking at him last week and if all goes to plan he'll be with Kansas city wizards in the MLS in January for pre season whereas I'm all but retired at 27

To the other brother I passed on my rugged good looks
