[Closed] If you had bigger tes$icles ....

French Foreign Legion for 5 year contract after leaving uni rather than starting my career immediately. I also would have worked harder at uni.

I also would have insisted on moving back to my hometown to open my own business.

Said no before my first marriage happened rather than drifting into it. Not really bad, just not that good.
That and M-ingTFU regarding spiders.
and buying a paraglider when I could.

really give getting into Shona's pants a proper go instead of sitting back and watching my mate get there then treat her badly (all about 16 years ago)

Oh, and never getting involved with that b'tch who wrecked my head when I was 18.

If I had bigger test icicles I'd ride faster, fall off faster and get hurt more.

bones heal, right?

I'd need unfeasibly large underpants....

Would have worked harder in school and be a plastic surgeon.

Thing is I'm tempted to apply to medical school in September.

4yrs of poverty... 👿

I'd probably do it all again, life has been far from perfect but i have enjoyed enough to want to do it again.

I'd learn Annette. Not a stunner, more like your favourite bike.

took the chance to ride full time when it was offered (not saying I would have been any good, but the chance was there)
joined the forces (army/navy/airforce not botherd just think it might have suited me)
not got married

Took every chance that was offered to me, not waiting around and thinking what if,just do it,and sod the consequences.

Quite like what I've got/had really, my alter-ego might have taken a non-academic route and ended up working outdoors, preferably in mountains, but I like both and the two cannot co-exist while paying sufficient to keep me alive 😀

Dumped the girlfiend at the time, not taken the grad placement job and buggered off round the world after Uni.
Generally, not done what parents, friends and family "expected" and pressured me to do, life is too short and the world is too interesting.
Will be advising my 2 kids accordingly.

Headed off to annoy the Japanese whalers.

BASE Jump. Done everything else so far!

Spent more time as a ski / beach bum ... but probably would have needed a bigger liver rather than tessers, that seems to be the bit that suffered n=most

Not dropping out of the Marines because I was breaking my Mothers heart. Had it all planned out, 22+ years of adventures, possible SF selection if i didn't get whacked in the desert. Now I sit at a desk trying not to go postal!

F##k it 👿

Thing is I'm tempted to apply to medical school in September.

do it mate - i'm about to (hopefully) set myself up for 2 years of student life with light at the end of the tunnel in mind. 🙂

i would have gone down that vertical slide at lands end as a kid. i knew it wouldn't have killed me yet i clung to the top like a big girl as my brothers dropped in. still, that memory has taunted me so much throughout the rest of my life that anytime i feel aprehensive about doing something big and scary the thought of being that chicken-$hit again lifts my metaphorical fingers one by one...!

Tried harder at school.
Got out of my home town earlier.
Trained to be a builder or cabinet maker,
Traveled the world when I younger.
Taken more of a chance with the girls than I did.
All in all, where I am now is pretty good.

I would've taken my education more seriously and completed my accountant qualifications when I had a chance. I wouldn't be spending silly money paying for her knowledge.

Joined the forces.

Started mountainbiking earlier and raced DH at an earlier age before the fear set in.

Not grabbing that one chance of marriage, instead continue as i was and carry on being a floosy/tart!

All that reads 'death wish' to me lol

not ****ed about playing the fool at school.

not smoked may way through college.

taken more than one year out - would have worked my way around the world as opposed to bumming it on freebies/handouts.

been a little more ruthless with girls - was more interested in getting stoned with my mates as opposed to risking the knock-back from the birds.

cycled on further than muncih - might have been tricky as the GF was the reason i cycled there in the first place.

i'm not overly fussed as i'm only 26 so still got plenty of time to screw up/ make amends.

Wouldnt ned to pack an extra pair of socks when useing the road bike,and lycra.

Got healthier, earlier. Waited until my late 20s/early 30's before I did anything other than sit on my arse at every opportunity 😕

Had kids sooner 🙂

Other than that I reckon everything I've done was the right thing at the time, hindsight with rose tinted specs is a sure fire way to end up miserable 🙂

im pretty happy so far apart from the relationship i am in now... now im thinking.

I left school, completed apprenticeship. Joined the Marines and saw many many places, Just left and moving to dubai to work in the black gold sector.

Think if i changed anything it would be the serious drinking/partying stage where i was too smashed to even talk to my family for weeks on end.

Apart from that im quite happy with my choices.

Boring i know

I wouldn't have worn such tight denims in my youth.

I wouldn't have chased a semi-pro pot-smoking career for so long in later years; nor would I have made such an effort to consume alcohol in the quantities I did.

I may have decided to extend the overseas trip while I could, and see what the rest of the world was like.

I might have been more attentive at school.

I should've recognised when girls were into me and made more of the opportunities.

There's probably more, but I didn't change things then and I can't change 'em now, so why fret?

Things are better now than perhaps they might've been, and I've got a child I can give sage advice to in the (vain) hope that she'll pay attention and benefit from it.
That's all I can do.

Climbed El Cap...though I'm hoping to try it still some day...must be an easy route up it...one of the reasons is wanting to do a hanging belay and spend the night bivvying off the side of a rockface.

spend the night bivvying off the side of a rockface.

there aren't testicles big enough for me to do that.

Agreed Stoner

I watched some climbers on El Cap - no thanks! 1,000 metres, straight up - awesome!

there aren't testicles big enough for me to do that.

LOL! TBH, not sure how I'd feel if it came to it now...it gives me the willies when I see people doing it on TV, but the slightly self-destructive suicidal part of me...

EDIT: Stunning pic. My testicles just shrunk a little bit more...thanks 😯
