    I wouldn't need time travel...

    So notes to my 16yearold self are normally just

    "Do coursework"

    "Bread
    Eggs
    Milk
    Biscuits"

    "Bury them before anyone notices they're gone"

    Take those 5 "opportunities" - there's no such thing as "the one"
    Stay in Oz for the year
    Borrow €50,000,000 from the bank instead of €50,000
    Buy the house either 5 years earlier or 5 years later

    Stop being a big emo.
    You don't need to exercise ALL the time.
    Cheer up.
    Learn to drive next year.
    Don't take everything everyone says about you so seriously.
    Change schools, the one you are in is useless.
    Cheer up.
    Don't drop down to pass Irish, you are well able for honours.
    Stop sitting in front of the computer all the time.
    Don't take ridiculous amounts of illegal pillerz in the next 3 years.
    Have a bitta fun there.
    Get braces.
    You don't have to be depressed all the time.
    Keep speaking French, or it you will keep getting worse at it.


    I was a shit 16 year old!

    Actually, I agree with this.

    Mistakes shape you, you wouldn't be the same if you could go back and change your past.

    Do not...And I mean this...Do not multi-task on Halloween in your friend's toilet by taking a piss, drinking Heineken and texting your mates at the same time. Phones have a way of falling into the toilet and making you feel so stupid for the next week.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86,729 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    Get offa the porn and into the club.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,581 ✭✭✭✭kowloon


    Put the plate down and open the door, you can't do both at the same time, the plate is heavy and will tilt. I'll never forget the roast that got away :(.

    forget about saving for a car ..put all your pocket money and summer job money into that MS-DOS thingy ...trust me !

    Whatever you're thinking....DON'T


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,749 ✭✭✭tony 2 tone


    Yes you had a chance with her.
    Stay away from her, she's nuts.
    Go to more gigs.
    Don't start smoking.
    Cider is muck, stick to the Guinness, your **** won't be black once you get used to it.
    If you meet, these people, xxxxxxxx and so on, sock 'em in the jaw.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,528 ✭✭✭foxyboxer


    don't eat everything that's put in front of you
    don't help out your family members if they ask for money, you'll never get it f**king back
    the college course you do, whilst it appears ****e is actually worth it in the long run
    the gorgeous looking brunette you'll meet is not actually gorgeous personality wise. stay single. she''l wreck your head
    tell your favourite aunt to go to the doctors immediately
    the leaving cert is a load of crap, don't stress too much
    don't drink so much, the hangovers are not worth it
    at half time during the 2005 champions league final, put all your savings on Liverpool to actually win.

    You are actually an alright looking guy.

    If she’s hot and there’s even a chance she’s interested don’t be a chicken sh1t seriously only good things will come of going for it.

    In the future if it’s not working out with your Girlfriend be a man and brake up with her! Letting it drag out only makes it worse.

    You will find someone else.

    Relax it will all be fine.

    (Although I would find it hard to follow this advice even now wouldn’t hurt to try…)
