I like to think I'm pretty good at working out what advice is good advice...

What makes you think that? In my experience, it's pretty easy to be talked both out of a good idea and into a bad one.

I can usually take some advice and work out if its useful. Sometimes just stopping and thinking about it makes it far clearer. Some people give great advice, and terrible advice at the same time.
