He clearly stabbed and killed someone with a fork to steal their sweets and chocolate. It's fairly obvious.

I'd go back to about 2003 and tell myself not to take up judo and as a consequence spend three months out sick from school and repeat fifth year(that was by choice).

What exactly did you do if you don't mind me asking?

It probably depends on the individual too, but for me, sex only started to become really good from around 22. Since around 27 it's become utterly fantastic! Please god let this pattern continue!
Confidence and being relaxed in yourself are crucial to good sex, and those come with age - for me anyway.

Pffft. Feck off with your boasting.

one thing i wish i said last week was " dont go out on new years eve!"

few years ago it would be "tie your shoe laces", as it does matter, and wouldnt be costing me 6 grand now to fix the problems because of that!!

if i could go back one hour, id say "oh dont eat that, that will only make you sick" but then hay when do i ever learn or listen

An advice for myself? Pobably "STAY YOURSELF".

No changes. Just a one change could make you a different person. I don't wanna be somebody else!

Who know what happened if you could change just a one thing in your life?? Different kind of thinking, different friends.

Crossing one street might make you die in crash accident. Who know what happened if Hitler was killed?

So never regret anything my friends! Stay happy who you are every second of your life!:)

1. Money is the root of all evil, you only need it to survive. Everything else is unwanted excess.... when you die someone else would inherit it!:D
2. Time is money = no time wasters need apply
3. Never setlle for less

I'd also go back and tell myself the winning Euromillions numbers for that night yer one Delores McNamara won it. I'd have put that money to far better use:rolleyes:

thefinalstage

I'd go back and tell myself to peg it and join the navy.

"IN the navy, where you can sail the seven seas!....."

Caliden

I'd tell myself to remind dublindude that there was a thread about this a few months back

You'd still have to share it with her since she'd end up picking the same numbers, I'm assuming.

Well. I'd first go back in time and have sex with my mother and my grandmother so I'd both be my own father and grandfather. Sure, why not?

Advice I'd give myself?

Don't give up things so easily. Take care of your back, stop bloody slouching! Oh, and do better in the Leaving Cert. Something to do with my family too, probably.

Don't have unprotected sex

Don't smoke while having unprotected sex.

Things I'd tell myself ?

1. Irish women are for friendships only. Avoid any romantic stuff whatsoever.
2. 99% of Americans/Canadians you will meet abroad are some of the worst human beings ever born. Avoid them. (note: This is my experience, I don't mean all north Americans are avoid at all cost people, just the ones I've met I'd much rather NOT have.)
3. Get out of Ireland ASAP.

thelordofcheese

i'd try and give myself some handy advice, however the younger me would probably run away with his hands over his ears screaming "lalala i can't hear you now go away before you create a temporal paradox and destroy us all"

Damn my younger self being such a nerd.

weeder

damn you all wanting to create time paradoxes!

Id go back to all the moments that I was treated like sh1t by people, bosses, teachers, elders etc. and tell myself not to take it and to learn to stand up for myself more, after all Im no worse a human being than they are and no one has the right to treat others as inferior!

Cue the righteous ' Your boss/teacher/elder has the right to discipline you..etc' and I agree but the incidents Im referring to were unesscessarily harsh or belittling...

MOH

I'd tell myself never to go back in time, then see what happened.

tHE vAGGABOND

take it a bit easier that night in munich

Rhiannon14

I'd probably tell myself to forgive people easier and trust in myself sooner.

Sam Vimes

my advice would be:sit up straight idiot!

i ****ed my back up nearly 2 years ago by sitting badly. Doctors have been useless and it looks like its going to have me in a wheelchair at some point

AckwelFoley

Dont turn around and talk to that c*** beside you. You are about to throw away 7 of you golden years.

I just sat upright there when i saw your post. No more slouching!

Duckjob

Take the blue pill.


I'd probably just try to tell my younger self not to be afraid of being a bit different from the crowd.

good man. keep it up or you'll regret it. the only cure i've been able to find on the internet for my problem is to kill the nerves in the area to stop it hurting, which of course doesn't actually repair the damage that's causing the pain

bug

Go to San Francisco.

Den_M

Don't go to San Francisco.

18AD

Don't forget to bring a towel.

Tell myself how to build a time machine...:rolleyes:

Skynet goes online on March 4th 2012.

Keep up the good work.

I am from the future and here's my advice to you all.

1. Learn to speak Chinese.
2. Accept the teachings of the Qu'ran.

Those two will cover you for both sides of the new world order and it wouldn't do you any harm to send Kim Jong-il a birthday card (he's the vice-president of the Democratic Peoples Republic of Eastern Earth).

3. Stop complaining about Pat Kenny because he will still be hosting the Late Late show although now it's a daily lunchtime show and most of the guests will be members of the CPC or leading Imams.

Den_M

Don't scratch it, you'll make it worse!

kowloon

Don't wear a bag on your back when on a motorcycle.

Go to the hospital fuchwit, it's not a dent it's a concave skull fracture.

Enjoy your pancreas, kidneys and right eye while they're good.

Don't quit the showjumping.

Crumble Froo

go to certain large mcd event instead of the gaeltacht. yes, you are going to get paid to be on holiday, but you will never get the chance to see audioslave again!

bah, stupid de la rocha.

Overheal

Tell myself not to be such a douchebag about coming to live in ireland when i was 13.

Also tell myself to bet large sums of money on the presidential elections. Easier to remember than horse races

Quality

Go for the bulge at the back, Instead of the bulge at the front...

FlutterinBantam

Never ever ever say"Giddy uuup Trigger" when about to pop your load in ANY female.

Miguel_Sanchez

I'd go back just over a year ago and tell myself to speak out instead of being reticent about how I feel.

My life would be a lot different if I had.
