Some pieces of advice stand the test of time: don't run with scissors; chew your food before you swallow; stay away from the yellow snow.
Joining such truisms is the title of the new Idles single and music video, simply suggesting you should Never Fight A Man With A Perm.
Brought to vibrant life by illustrator Russell Taysom's eye-catching designs, the promo for the British punk rock outfit is a quiticentailly Bristish take on the Street Fighter series of games, with lead singer Joe Talbot taking out a series of brutes in front of hilariously titled chicken shops and booze merchants.
Written and directed by Al Brown with a macabre sense of gruesome glee, this brightly coloured, blood-splattered 4-minute wonder will make you rethink performing a spinning-bird-kick outside your local chippy in the future.
