I will never, ever give James Corden any praise for anything even if he has done something which could be considered good.

Never assume that my needs are greater than anybody else's. It's an easy trap to fall into but you never know what other people are going through.

I'm now at a point - age and health wise - where I never go past a 2nd pint. Nothing good ever comes from doing it.

Never had a go at a ref/linesperson at Sunday League, no matter how bad the call. Once politely informed a referee he was wrong to book me as I got the ball....that was about the level of my dissent. I ended up quitting mainly because I hated the way people spoke to the officials.

Try my absolute hardest to never raise my voice to the kids (4 and 1). Yes, a firm voice will be used but I can't stand the amount of people you see out and about shouting at their kids as their starting point of communication. Even if I'm being screamed at by the 4 year old I'll try and just sit there and continue to talk calmly. Can be difficult sometimes!

I’ve never really thought about lines I wouldn’t cross, I just try and lead my life by doing what I believe is the right thing judged by normal standards of decency and humanity.
As a young man, I have done things that I wouldn’t do now and I dare say so have many or all of us. Luckily age mellows many of us and gives us a wisdom or judgement we almost certainly lacked in our youth.
I have tried to live a decent life and to treat others as I would like to be treated myself,, althoughI know I failed in some of the relationships I had as a typical young hot blooded male!
PS As voting intentions have entered the thread, I have to say I have never voted Labour and I think it unlikely I ever will. I have always voted Conservative or abstained. Some on here will therefore assume tthat I eat babies and must be a vile, selfish, evil person. Well,I don’t and I’m not.
I’ve dated plenty of girls who smoked even thoughI didn’t.I even know that at least one girl voted Tory, although I can’t say politics was ever a factor in choosing girlfriends. You either liked each other and got on or you didn’t. It is a bit like having friends. I don’t care who they vote for unless they are raving nutters of any persuasion.
Live and let live.

I never give more than 100%. I admire people who give 110% but wonder why they aren't giving 120%.

Never have and never will:

- Vote Tory
- Allow foreign students to barge seniors and less-abled out of the way to get on the bus first
- Cross a picket line
- Have anything complimentary to say about Katie Price, Queen of Chavs
- Shout at young children (it is the most pointless thing you can do. It achieves zilch)
- No use of the "C" word if ladies present

I have a 4 year old and 10 month old and I empathise strongly with this. The 4 year old has always been an awful sleeper - I got just over 1 hour last night thanks to him.
