[Closed] 'Never' advice for life

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.

What's the perm line about then?

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.
