bloody old people .
we spend our lives ignoring their advice .
what would they know ?
they sit in a chair hoping their bladder doesn't give way while watching some serial on tv.
we ignore them , every generation repeats the same pattern of ignorance ,
but as middle age creeps in and youth takes a backstep , you start to not dismiss so easily ,
you may even find you are quoting what the old bloke holding his legs together has said .
I don't feel it is a saying just associated with Australia , I imagine many lands have a version .
but the oldies always say , if its not a drought , it`s a flood .
we have had some decent fires over here caused by drought , 2-3 months later many places are now battling floods .
maybe the old bloke is not that silly
