blonde poker forum

Saw this in another forum and there were some crackers.

I'll start:

Always know that life is unfair

(From my dad all the time, not in a negative sense, always in a don't moan/work hard kind of way)

He also said always buy the most expensive car you can afford which I'm only just realising is golden advice.

From my Granny Julie;

'Hear all, see all and say nowt'

I manage this about 95% of the time!

From my old fella when I first had a civvy job after leaving the RAF. He said'dont become a slave to the overtime'.  Took me a little while to work out what he meant but he was spot on.

"Shut yer mouth, get back in yer truck and f**** off. "

Random cheeky bloke as he produces gun.

Never go upstairs with your hands empty.

Might have whooshed me here, I have no idea what this means.

Only bet what you can afford to lose

Never eat yellow snow.

Control the controllables

You probably pop upstairs several times in a day. There are always things that need to be taken upstairs (and downstairs). If you are going up anyway to use the toilet / brush your hair / get your jumper etc, it is easier to take something with you then instead of having to make an extra trip later specially to take it up.

Actually rings very true

Don't kick your granny while she's shaving.

Reminds of one a friend always used to say.

Never kick a pasty in the ribs.

Haven't got a clue what it is supposed to mean...but he is Welsh.

if you see a weasel sleeping, piss in its ear.

From my Dad

Eat when your hungry drink when your thirsty and sleep when your tired

Shag when you're horny?

Your kids are only young once.

Poker will be there for ever.

(Old time grinder from Grosvenor, West Derby)

Just do your own thing and what's important to you, fk what everything thinks...

I've always thought that most people spend too much money on cars relative to how much money they have.

In this context he wasn't really talking in terms of flash cars , he was talking about first cars, family cars etc and in the context of not buying an old banger that will cost you thousands in repairs

Don't fold your big blind

The time you enjoy wasting isn't wasted time.

This might of got me in all sorts if bother (-;

Two bits of awesome fatherly advice from the biggest positive influence in my life:

1. ( As he was dropping me off at university for my first day). 'Drink as much beer as you want, sleep with as many girls as you want, but of you touch any drugs I'll chop your balls off.'

2. (When we ran a business together before I became a teacher) 'Don't ask any of the staff to do anything they haven't seen you doing yourself.'

I'm very lucky - he is a great man and a great father.

Great idea.

couple my dad told me:

1 - Don't join the military.
2 - Everyone will make mistakes, learn from the ones you make and move on. 

Main one I plan to pass on:

Your first aim in life should be to do what makes you happy.

Join the Navy, it's brilliant.

I forgot to heed the bit about staying there :(

Aside from everything Honeybadger has ever said to me, which I assume is just a given, there was a time where I'd just lost absolutely loads and was sitting and absorbing what was then my biggest every losing day, and Sean came over and told me to take comfort in the fact that I will definitely have worse.

Not sure it has ever really been put in words but mine is definitely along these lines.

My Dad had to give me a pretty stern telling that Football wasn't life or death like I was treating it to be, solid advice.
