    DONT BECOME A FÚCKING CARPENTER
    as much as you love it just keep it as a hobby

    buy gold and silver coins a.s.a.p. and wait til at least 2011 to sell them

    oh and invest in apple in october 2004 instead of buying the hilux
    then sell again in december 2007
    then buy again in march 2009 :)

    oh and dont buy that house either and definately dont increase your credit card limit coz it'll fúck you up for a long time

    When you're 20 nearly 21, You're gonna get involved with a girl who works in the same hotel as you..She is 30 and you're gonna have a great time with her..On the night she agrees to do the deed, Try to last longer than four seconds and also make sure you stretch Because your're gonna get a cramp in your right leg that is going to lead to complete and utter embarrasment..But She is a great girl... You will also get a number of dirty texts from a girl who also works in the hotel, She is Gagging for it and when she sends her address to you inviting you to come over very late on a saturday night...You should do it...
    When you go to Cavan on a stag party, you will meet a girl who you end up snogging, Save money and get your own hotel room and Also get her number....

    Also Keep the Primera as the Mondeo will start to cost your a shed load of money between 2007 and 2010...

    But youre gonna get married, She is the best and tomorrow you're going for the first scan of your baby..

    And when she tells you to go home from the pub, Like, Last Saturday Night, GO...The Arguement is not worth it!

    Also..Tell the brother the one who is the first in the house to get married, She's a bitch and they'll end up in councilling after two years, She'll leave him in a sh*t load of debt that he will never get out off, SO tell him to get a good solicitor..He's gonna need it...

    Make the most of your time with dad...

    If you think it's a good idea, you're probably wrong, and should make every effort to prevent yourself from going ahead with whatever it is you're planning, or plan to plan.

    Also, pay attention to what your doctor says. You don't get to argue with him, because you didn't spend ten ****ing years in medical college. If he says it, he's probably correct.

    Feel free to near drink yourself to death. You learned from it!

    dont put your cock in there...she's a bint.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,549 ✭✭✭Noffles


    Don't have your cake and eat it...

    Don't move to Ireland

    Finish the exams you're doing


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,204 ✭✭✭FoxT


    - MC isnt worth it, dont even consider inviting her to visit
    - Secondary school sucks, but College will be fine
    - As soon as you get a job & some money saved, Travel. Dont worry, there will be loads of jobs back home in the early 90s.
    - Buy Apple shares. Keep doing it. They dont start getting expensive until 2007!
    - Don't start smoking
    - You will do all the right things but will never be able to help your mother in an effective way. She will be an addict & beyond your reach.She is a great woman though.
    - Your dad is great, but not as good as you think he is. His approval is not that important at the end of the day.
    - Your wife iwill be much, much, more important than any other family member. Learn this now, & save yourself & herself a lot of heartache later.
    - You have always hated sports - but you will love sailing. Take it up now, don't wait till you are in your 30s!

    put that spliff out and go study!!!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,456 ✭✭✭Riddle101


    Get a job, study and by the way. There's a recession coming your way, plan now so you'll be ready. Also if it's not too much hassle be more aggressive and driven.

    But in reality if somebody had said that to me at 16 I would have prob done everything exactly the same lol... Pigheaded is the word i think.... :)

    Cop the **** on.
    Pay attention in school and study.
    Don't waste your time with muppets as they will taint you with their muppetry.

    And lastly, it'll all work out in the end. Take it easy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,699 ✭✭✭deathrider


    I'd tell him he owes me a tenner...

    Making that silly site where everyone gets one page they can customise and fill with random crap about themselves is *not* a bad idea.

    My thinking at the time:
    "Sure if they want a site they can just build their own, HTML isn't hard"
    "Nobody will go through the trouble, they are too busy socialising in real life"
    "Nobody is so self absorbed that they'd want a page dedicated to information about themselves"
    "Make money off the ads? So I can buy a pack of chewing gum in two years time?!"

    go to a mixed school.
    enough sex will make it better.
    get over it, shes a bitch
    one day you'll have your picture edited to look like a cat, try to realise she's probably worth it anyway :pac:
    spend that 13e in pennies, it's sooo worth it

    To self at 16:
    1-Fapping is natural & good for you.

    2-Yes, I know the fear was real. But you need to get past it and find a real woman, otherwise you'll be fapping into your late 20s.

    Last part an exaggeration......really......


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,681 ✭✭✭ColeTrain


    Don't spend a F*uckn cent, buy bread and water for the next seven years. If I hear you've spent anything I'm gonna go back in time and take a baseball bat to your little teenage kneecaps.

    Also, buy gold.

    Don't bother your bollox with anything, you'll be joining the navy in a year and having the best time of your life


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 525 ✭✭✭Copper23


    I'd tell myself Leopards never change their spots, don't be so naive as to believe they will...

    Also, leave work/class/shop from the backdoor if you know someone is waiting for you outside.

    Do one extra nights study so you can learn that English comparative so you can get an extra grade in English, so you can get five more points, so you can go to Dublin instead of Cork and probably live a very different life.

    Get better 1st&2nd year uni results and don't go out with that guy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,928 ✭✭✭✭rainbow kirby


    Take a year out after school to decide what you really want, don't ever play MMOs and take up running sooner than you actually do.

    Get yourself out there and meet a nice girl. You find out in a few years that the majority of girls you had crushes on thought you were handsome, but you had so little self-esteem you didn't recognise any of this.

    Don't talk to strange men on buses. They may be cute but they will hurt you.
    Save, save, save! Save money because you'll be kicked out of your job soon enough.
    Don't get a Purdy hair cut- it'll make you look like a Vulcan.

    This is handy advice for a 17 year old but knowing me I'll not listen anyway :D

    The biggest thing people seem to want is to invest in a later successful company, hmmm maybe I should with a few newly established ones!
