    Mmm, lots of great advice above :O)

    Mine;
    You’re not stupid but Uni isn’t for you. It took 12/13 years of an office job to realise. Saying that I did meet the wife there so……………….

    You’re actually not a bad dancer and members of the opposite sex quite like someone with some moves.

    Despite all the stupid shit you’re about to do it works out pretty well.

    But for **** sake cut the credit card up now!

    Oh and don’t try to overtake that truck, you won’t make it!

    Take slightly fewer drugs, drink slightly less, buy a bmx, do slightly more studying, crack on to loads more lasses. Air your feet. DON’T lose the **** student loan deferment form!

    Whatever you do…

    Under no circumstances…

    Not even wearing jeans and a hoody…

    Stand around at the bottom of Swinley Red 15…

    Spend more time with my brothers
    Don’t get into debt
    Don’t bother going to uni
    When Anne-Marit says she loves you, don’t run away………..she was the one *sigh*
    Think about the future more, less living for today’s highs
    Keep fit & healthy
    Start competing earlier, could have made a career of it………
    Brake before that roundabout you dickhead
    Pay more attention and work harder at uni (<19 it would have been don’t bother going to uni)
    Start pension earlier

    To be be fair, in a lot of ways I like me today and try to avoid regrets. Can’t change it, so got to keep looking optimistically into the future. Although if Anne-Merit is still out there……………….

    That thing that Claire suggested? Take her up on the offer.

    And don’t dump her.

    Don’t smoke at uni, but join the athletics club. Cross country is actually fun, and you’ll get more than you can possibly imagine. Drinking is fine.

    Don’t be so aloof. More women than you realise are interested if you didn’t come across as such dick.

    Don’t worry about not doing much work. 22 years later it hasn’t done any harm.

    Slow down on the motorbike and look more. It’s cheaper and less painful.

    – sleep more.

    – never leave for work ‘with one in the barrel’.

    Buy property sooner and don’t feel you need to get a proper job straight away. Spend the next 10 years of your life bumming around trying to figure out what it’s all about and don’t worry about the future

    Buy, don’t rent.

    Don’t spend so long trying to fix a broken person.

    You’re doing alright and things will get better.

    Before you know it you’ll be a few weeks off 40 so don’t long for the future, smash the present even harder than you are!

    Dance more.

    I did a season snowboarding in Canada and would tell myself “do a few more” because it was awesome.

    1) curry is not supper
    2) beer is not supper
    3) Sonja from Toulouse really is into you
    4) As is Michelle from San Francisco
    5) but not at the same time
    6) if you’re not into the course, move on ASAP
    7) Rock n roll is good. Sex is good as long as you’re careful
    8) drugs is not good
    9) beer is not supper
    Etc

    Would have to go back earlier than nineteen to make a meaningful difference.

    “And this too shall pass”

    In the year previous, my life had been turned inside out and upside down following the death of my father in an unexplained car accident.

    Now, some 36 years on, I can honestly say that the greatest gift he gave me was his seemingly untimely death.

    Thank you dad, I love you.

    I would tell myself to ditch the demanding girlfriend on going to university rather than waiting two years and only going crazy on the shagging front in my last year.

    Don’t worry, Uni might seem hard, but you aren’t sh*t and in the end you will end up with a PhD and as a University lecturer!!

    Don’t spend time in a relationship with someone who prevents you exploring the outdoors.

    Stop worrying (though still not good at that now).

    Cider is nasty. Beer is much better.

    Keep your 1000cc mini standard, drive sensibly.

    Surf more

    DO NOT BUY A ZX7-R AT TOP WHACK! instead put the the money towards a mortgage on a house over looking the sea in south Cornwall (repayments would’ve been about the same).

    Surf more.

    Find £2700 and BUY THAT WILLIES JEEP! You’ll never be closer to affording one ever again!

    She’s not the one- do both of you a favour and admit it now because once life pressure has seemingly welded you together, it will take 8 more years to realise that you are totally unsuited.

    That career you are chasing? It won’t be perfect but it’s coming so just chill out and enjoy yourself.

    Not doing stuff you fancy trying out is not ‘sensible and level headed’ but dull, boring and lazy. You can fit more into life than you could possibly imagine so say yes more!

    Go to Ibiza!

    Buy a mountain bike, buy a road bike, start racing – you’ll probably be quite good at it.

    If you ever come across something called Singletrack, ignore it, you’ll only waste large chunks of your life reading total shite.

    Here are the plans to the time machine.
