    So imagine that you could borrow Saxon Rider’s time machine. 🙂
    Knowing what you know now,what would be the one thing that you would tell your younger self?

    I would tell myself that on one particularly hedonistic night in Aug 1990, I really must remember to lock my bedroom door.

    Don’t be such a snot-nosed little plonker.

    Don’t drift into a career/job by default.

    Stay with Dawn Emma a bit longer as the sex was so worth her mental tantrums.

    Don’t skip seeing The Calsh, regret it to this day. More flying with ATC inc University Air Squadron. Do more body conditioning, would have avoided breaking my ACL. Read more, not difficult as I read very little.

    I would travel back in time to visit the parents of the guy who wrote the script to the adverts on this very webpage, who has inadvertently made me type and retype what I’d do four times because the adware keeps breaking my browser and I’d say “Mr and Mrs Bastard; your child is going to one day do something awful. Make sure they avoid having any future career in IT”.

    Actually, back in the day I was quite the gentleman (actually, I was effin’ clueless). I had a steady stream of eligible ladies in and out the door who I treated as my mates – some of whom are mates to this very day. Now one or two made very, very blatant passes at me and I was too dense to realise.

    Only last week I realised that Susan McLaren (name changed) had something in mind when she invited me back to her place after an evening out with friends. I eventually ended up on another lasses’ sofa and everyone duly assumed – including the lovely Susan – that something had happened, when it hadn’t.

    A year later, a very lovely Melanie Jones – whom I hadn’t seen in four years – walked up to me in the middle of a nightclub, pressed her phonenumber into my hand, kissed me on the cheek and asked me to call her as she was home from uni and wanted to “get together”.

    Give me a TARDIS, I’d go back twenty years and kick myself up the arse.

    The women are interested you mug, especially that Lisa you worked with at Yates’ she didn’t keep rubbing your leg for a laugh. Oh and ditch Leoni when you finish Uni.

    My teenage years were great though, as above, a bit more shagging wouldn’t have been difficult to achieve

    There’s 2 people I really should’ve been nicer to and 1 who I should’ve told to **** off long before I got round to it

    lol what a great thread with a commonly recurring theme. I know exactly what I’d tell myself but I’m not recording it in perpetuity on an internet forum 🙂

    Nothing. If ever you’ve watched Run Lola Run you’ll know why. I survived, so did most around me, I’m happy where I am.

    If I’d joined the navy I’d have been in the Falklands rather than Brittany when the ships were attacked.

    The typical “girls” advice as per everyone else here, both generally and specifically.

    Don’t spend money on media, it’ll never be worth anything. Especially VHS.

    Move house right now or you’ll be stuck in a worthless property for the next 20 years.

    There seem to be two distinct themes in the “girls” advice. The “dodged bullets” and the “I was mad not to”. With hindsight I was quite good at dodging bullets and who knows what merry dance the “mad not tos” would have led me on. I reckon my teenage self had pretty good taste and discernment, perhaps more than the dirty old man self.

    Another ‘don’t go to uni’ here.

    edit- that said, all of the formative experiences leading up to the point I met my other half/significant other/partner (we’re not married and boyfriend seems a little superficial!) led to me meeting him so it’d be daft to change things too much.
