Never mind the impossibility, what would you change and why?

I'd be happy with losing the Reynaud's syndrome and IBS. Both get right on my tits, so I'd be very happy with 'factory' spec...

After that, a less injury-prone left knee would be pretty sweet.

More optimism, currently my software v5.0 is running slow and I’d like a patch to take it to beyond this Brexit fiasco to say v5.6

Ta.

A straight left ring finger, less dodgy knees, the ability to eat what I like without getting fat and a breathing system with no allergies would be great.

A memory that works for longer that 10 minutes and can retain more than one thing at a time. A wee bit smarter as at least two of the kids are going to be miles in front of me and I'd like to help them out later without being totally lost.
Being a bit taller would be nice as booster seat jokes and getting on a train or bus for a half jokes gets a bit boring after a while.

I could go on but that'll do 🙂

Yup, I swear I can put on weight just [i]looking[/i] at food... 👿

I'd quite like my right leg sorted (phlebitis) whilst I'm at it.

I'd also quite like some MTFU so's I'm not easily put off by looking out the window and thinking '.....nah' 😳

Hmm...

Or eyes that aren't falling to bits?

Tricky...

Not having osteoarthritis in my knees would be amazing. If that was sorted I could exercise more and shift the excess weight I'm carrying.

Mentally I could do with a boost too

Far more upgrades required that I've ever given to my bikes!

I would like to get rid of the coeliac problem, but in hindsight it has kept me from eating over processed food and drinking overly much beer.

I think new neck/shoulder muscles and bones would be preferred over anything, they give me near constant groaning pain.

An anxiety filter would be useful.

The ability to fly, x-ray vision and to be ten times as strong.

I'd ask for a better social skills, including but not limited to an ability to attract women, but I thought I should go for something more realistic.

Seriously? Well, I’ve just started a new relationship after close on fifteen years, and the lady in question hasn’t had a relationship since her partner left her ten years ago, so the stamina of the battery bunny wouldn’t go amiss...

Come on now, epicyclo, you can't just leave it at that and leave us all wondering how you might have put your foot in your mouth. Fess up. What did you say to them?

It started with FFS 🙂

After listening to mealymouthed tutting about single mothers, gay marriage, the Sabbath and catholics while my wife was sat squirming, I launched into a paraphrased version of

"But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in."

Wife is from a Free Church background and these were relatives. Most of them are lovely people but some it's difficult to tell their lips from a fundamental sphincter.

However I don't think I'll be invited to any more funerals.

(My religious knowledge is a hangover of what was beaten into me as a kid)

I'd also like to be able to zap poor drivers into oblivion.
