Take a little good advice...

...as Bill Oddie used to sing.

What's the best and worst advice you've ever been given?

The worst advice was from my PE teacher who taught us a little Irish jig in Dance class. She told us it was a good dance to learn and remember for the rest of our lives because if we were ever stood around cold - at a bus stop say - we could do this dance and it would warm us up. Now I was hardly going to re-enact Riverdance at bus stop aged 14, so I'm certainly never going to do it now. The same PE teacher also told me my mascara was hindering my diving technique.

My best advice was from a good friend's Mum who said;

"To get over a man, get under another." :)

Is that your favourite position? Man on top? :$

Best advice was from my Mum who said "Happiness doesn't chase you, you chase it"

Worst advice was probably from my mate Steve Sutton when I was 14 who said "You should have a wank everyday or your foreskin heals up."

Laughing out loud

My worst advice came from a film (Railway Children I think) which said to brush your hair a hundred times. That is BAD advice... it makes it fall out.

Yet Jenny Agutter had such lovely hair. Huh?

Did she even get her tits out in The Railway Children?

No that was An American Railway Child in London

She waved her red panties at a train and then got nudey in another film not much later (Outback?)

They are definitely on view in sci-fi movie Logan's Run. Unless you watch it on C4, at which point they cut to the ad break.

14. Wearing mascara's not really a sign of total corruption or anything - it just makes your eyelashes look darker and longer, Mr Brocklehurst.

And helps you look old enough to buy fags and booze. :)
