Bathe in the blood of virgins to maintain eternal youth.
My gran swore by it till she came a croper on the garden fence post.

The jockey has spoken......
My Nan used to say "never eat a banana before having a bath, as you will drown"......
Thank goodness they only make me take a bath twice a year - i wondered why they used to put a sign on the enclosure "nil by mouth" the day before though. Cheers, learn something new every day  |

I once had a wart on my thumb for years when I was young, it was in a particularly bad spot as I kept knocking it. I tried all of the tricks, the stuff from the chemist, tried it all. Then one day my Grandmother picked a Dandelion and smeared the white milky sap from the hollow stalk and the wart was gone within a fortnight.
Absolute true story.
There are very many old wives tales concerning getting rid of warts. Why? It's because 50% of warts just go away on their own within six months. So, if you spent time doing something unusual to 'treat' it (rubbing dandelion sap, hopping on one leg etc), half the time it would appear to work, so it would get passed on as sagely advice. |

All from my mother;
Don't cross knives - will lead to an argument.
Don't put new shoes on the table - will lead to an argument.
Itchy feet - Going on new ground.
Always make a wish when on new ground/somewhere you have not been before.
If the first butterfly you see in the year is white, you will have good luck all year.
It's bad luck to leave a house through a different door than the one used to come into it.
If your right ear itches, someone is speaking well of you.
If your left ear itches, someone is speaking ill of you.
To drop a fork means a man is coming to visit.
Pulling out a gray or white hair will cause ten more to grow in its place.
It is bad luck to walk under a ladder.
To break a mirror means 7 years bad luck.
It is unlucky to see your face in a mirror by candlelight.
Bad luck will follow the spilling of salt unless a pinch is thrown over the left shoulder into the face of the devil waiting there.

The very last hand of the night goes to Dewi James, who finds ACES and talks Raymond O’Mahoney into calling his all-in preflop bet of 15k. “If I had AQ, I’d call!” says Dewi. Raymond calls holding pocket 66’s.

Don't eat yellow snow, chickens lips, fishes titties, or anything bigger than your head.
Don't kick your granny while she's shaving.

There's no point looking up a dead horse's arse.
Don't cross on the stairs.
If you're having a button sewn on something that you are wearing put a piece of thread in your mouth.
