If you could send your past self one text?

What would it be. At any time (for old timer like me... even before you had a mobile phone)

I'm interested to see how many people would tell themselves to do something, and how many not to do something!

For me

Stay away from that young one!

RAFC · 26-09-2008 9:48am

Surely it would have to be lotto numbers................:):):):)

Wagon · 26-09-2008 9:49am

It's not fair, don't do it. Dog's can't talk and all they can do is bark if they don't like it.

Indie18 · 26-09-2008 9:49am

lotto numbers and results of sports events. too obvious.

_feedback_ · 26-09-2008 9:51am

I don't understand the question ....

Dudess · 26-09-2008 9:51am

I would send "Don't go to that secondary school, go to the other one" to my 12-year-old self in late 1990/early 1991 when the entrance exams were taking place. I really think so many of the mistakes I've made since then all stem from the crowd I hung around with at school...

chin_grin · 26-09-2008 9:53am

Create lolcats, buy google stock. Tell myself about the twin towers, and all the ****ty movies to avoid. Oh and also lotto numbers. And to befriend a white haired guy called "Doc".

EDIT:

Macha · 26-09-2008 9:55am

"Dump him"

Oh and the lotto numbers.

Oh... K... other than the lotto...

Bet your life savings that Ireland will have a decent manager in 2008.

The odds had to have been in the 500/1 region.

Sell my house 18 months ago - buy it back now. Sit back and smile at my big pile of money.

Gummy Panda · 26-09-2008 10:45am

"Dump her!! The lotto numbers are *numbers*. Don't buy expensive property with the lotto money, wait for the recession!!"

Sharpshooter · 26-09-2008 10:47am

MikeHoncho · 26-09-2008 10:57am

Eat less. Play more sport. Dont do French for your leaving.

anonymous_joe · 26-09-2008 11:02am

Hmmm.

She's going to turn weird, dump her or ask her what's wrong. That and a few lotto numbers etc.

Bah you're all useless.
You could give yourself the same advice now but you'll still not follow it.

Buy shares in Esat Digifone or Eircell when they are first available.

Jet Black · 26-09-2008 11:29am

Dont turn down the girl with the big boobs.. or the skinny one.. or the one with short blonde hair. (I did not know there names but this is how I remember people)

Drift · 26-09-2008 11:32am

Id send myself a text last week so that I have enough time to find out where Pighead lives and get to his house before he discovers this thread and his head explodes as he tries to figure out how to address himself in the past. The fourth person?

Zangetsu · 26-09-2008 11:32am

I know what I would say...

"Amazing, isn't it!"

The Bollox · 26-09-2008 11:33am

for me it'd be "hi sexy"

I would be on a high for ages thinking I had a secret admirer.

god damn I suck

Turd Ferguson · 26-09-2008 11:34am

"SHE IS A FUCKING GUY....GET OUT OF THAT RELATIONSHIP NOW!!!!!" would have served me well if I'd gotten it a few months ago but what can you do.

If I could send more than 1 I would probably mess with myself by saying shit like "Buy loads of stock in Lehman Bros, it'll be worth it"

Gummy Panda · 26-09-2008 11:35am

I want to change mine to "Stop being so emo!! Dump her soon, she'll get weird. Here is the lotto numbers"

junior_apollo · 26-09-2008 11:35am

Hi there, your not going to believe this… but this is the future you texting you to warn you of something very important… NEVER.. EVER.. forget to…. <Message Truncated> :rolleyes:
