I was thinking about Helen McCrory last night -> Peaky Blinders -> Idles (their music is used quite widely and in particular in a great scene)

So as my lad and I were cruising the means streets of Guildford (on our way to pick up my daughter from her shift at not just any supermarket - proper gangster) we were listening to them 'a bit too loud' on the car stereo when Never Fight a Man with a Perm came on.

And so I took the opportunity to give the boy a life lesson in other 'Never' advice for life

So far I have in addition to the above

Never drink in a flat roofed pub

Never eat yellow snow

Never date a girl called Louise

- what else needs to go on this list?

- and are there ever exceptions (Louise Wener? Surely worth the risk?)

You're eating naughty elephants?

I'd say that's in contravention of another maxim I try to live by: Never eat anything bigger than your head.

Are blokes with perms actually really hard or dirty fighters?

Flexing vocabulary runs right through me
The alphabet runs right from A to Z
Conversations, hesitations in my mind
You got my conscience asking questions that I can't find.
