    It’s many years from now and your surrounded by your loved ones, your about to take your last breath and leave this world. If you were given the opportunity to come back and change something/anything in your life what would it be? Why wait until your deathbed can you make that change right now ?

    I'd go back in time and personally pay for a nationwide advertising campaign teaching people the difference between your / you're; lose / loose; though/tough etc. and all other pedantic stupid things that drive me up the walls.

    Travel back in time and make my parents split up before they have children.

    That time in 2007. I was buying a new pair of trainers, it was Friday, I was fully expecting the sales person to say "have a nice weekend", they said "do you want the receipt in the bag?".
    I instantly said "Thanks, you too" and walked off.

    I had to go back and get the receipt too.

    The phrase is actually "drive me up the wall". You must drive yourself up the wall! :p

    Once upon a time there was this outrageously sexy work comrade who wanted to hook up in a hotel for a bit of kinky fúckery as the saying goes, only for me to tell her no, I was with someone.
    3 or 4 weeks later it turns out that this someone had been regularly getting banjoed by a couple of blokes she worked with.
    So back I go to miss sexy, cap in hand, only to be told (very politely I might add) that I had my chance and could now piss right off.:mad:

    Anyway - I wish I had booked that hotel room for a week.

    Well, I'd say one doesn't know when their deathbed will be. It might be decades from now and we all assume that will be us. But it might be much sooner than you think. With that in mind, people should ask themselves "What burning ambitions do I have?", "What are the things I really want to do and achieve?". I think that's why the film 'The Bucket List' resonated so much with people despite not being great.

    I always assumed I'd visit New York one day. It was going to happen at some point in the future. The future, always the future, not the present. Now it won't happen.* Let this be a lesson to you all.

    *And I unfortunately mean that. For a host of logistical and health reasons I won't get into here.

    I'm assuming this is a joke. :pac: This doesn't sound remotely fulfilling to me but I guess we're all different. To add, I know the difference between lose and loose, but when quickly writing, often mix them up. Not sure why. I think a lot of people have things like this. So I have little time for sanctimony about this topic.

    One of the tricks of the early Christian kings was to wait until their deathbed before getting baptised.

    So they could do whatever they wanted before then and still go straight to heaven :cool:

    Id create a goonies style treasure hunt for the grandkids to finds.

    I'd have broken up with that battleaxe of a woman known as my ex-wife about 15 years ago. She's had a puss on her that would turn milk sour since the day I married her.

    Just hide the ssd somewhere in a mineshaft, rail cart, abandoned house.
