Keep going you're doing grand.

Here's a few shags you shouldn't miss out on.

And yer wan is a total melt, cut her lose because she'll just cheat on you later anyways.

Everything else is great, maybe lay off the booze and weed a wee bit but you'll get to where you want to be.

Never, ever, trust a fart in bed.

I’m still not one to listen to my own “advice” so it probably wouldn’t have mattered, I’ve played that “roulette” since but never when the stakes were so high.

But, if I had listened, I wouldn’t have “blown it” with this hot girl I’d fancied all through college. Halfway through our final year we finally “clicked” and one thing lead to another and we ended up in the “sack” together.

All was going “swimming”, clothes off, getting good and close when suddenly I felt a bubbly “sensation”, figured it was a “run of the mill” job. Oh, how wrong I was.

As soon as I relaxed to let it out I knew. I tried to “clam” up but the damage was done. My whole body went stiff as board, I got up and run into the jacks. I had a whole story ready to explain that I had to “break wind” but was embarrassed to do it in front of her but my plan was foiled by the fact that the blast had gone “beyond the cheeks” and, in my haste, I’d smeared a small, yet noticeable, trail on the bed sheets so the “jig” was up.

She got up and left straight away. Obviously, I apologised profusely but she wasn’t for turning. Couldn’t blame her in fairness but I was fairly “well oiled”.

Anyway, saw her not too long ago. The attraction was, certainly, gone. She’s married with a couple of kids and, while there was still a “tinkle” in her eye, she now, sort of, resembled a “weeble”. Still though, that night, it’s one of those scenarios that runs through my head about twice a month and causes me no end of embarrassment.

Tragic and all as that is Emmet don't ever be embarrassed by the smudgehole acting up involuntarily! Was it a good'un?

When I was 14 I had this big dream of going to fashion school the following year. There was one in my town.
My grandfather, not a nice man by any means for the most part offered to pay for boarding at the top class fashion college close to the capital which would have required me to love cross country at 15. Being the moody teenage idiot I was I declined.
I regret saying no to this day, I know now that I would've thrived being away from home and a quite toxic family.

Stop being so fcukin nice, it carried on into later life and being too nice in business only makes you poor and tired, some nice is ok, but being a cnut is better for you if judging by others is anything to go by

Keep playing some sort of team sport for as long as you can.
Get tenants in to your house with you rather than living there on your own.
Start every job with a plan to not stay there longer than 5 years.

griffin100 · 08-08-2019 09:32PM

Don’t get into a long term relationship at 18 and never ever turn down a sure thing, you’ll be old and repulsive to women for most of your life.

Bredabe · 08-08-2019 09:34PM

Di-spite what they say and do, its NOT you who is stupid,
never ever pay a therapist who makes little of your fears and ideas's, actually dont talk to therapists at all, they dont have a clue what you've been through.

You are farrrrrrrrrrrrrr emotionally stronger that you think.

You did a great job of avoiding the abusers there were everywhere when you were small, go with those feelings in the future, your are bang on about Charley H

Finally, stop making a tit of yourself for that guy, he'll never love you the way you love him, but true love and better friends are ahead.
Watch out for women, but embrace your interest in women's rights.

I’m not embarrassed by it, S, I’m mortified!!

It was silent and “wet”. And hot. You know yourself when it “happens”. A shot ran up my body and I sobered up instantly.

Certainly wasn’t a “good’un”, this was a first “date”, if you could call it that. The potential was huge. I drank too much mostly due to nerves. I view it as a stain on my college years. A brown stain.

Stay away from yourself. No, seriously. Myself and the bachelor (i live with a randy bachelor) do have these conversations the whole time. When i was a gosson he'd tell me to go easy on myself but I didn't listen. Too many videos of bibi around the house.

So, I'd listen to the bachelor. Go easy on yourself.

touts · 08-08-2019 09:44PM

I'd say nothing. Absolutely nothing. I'm happy where I am. Yes I'd prefer a better job but if I took a different course in college or opted for a different career path or took that overseas job offer or changed any number of other decisions I wouldn't have been in that spot on the street on my way from work when a girl I sort of knew passed by and we stopped for a chat. 17 years later we're happily married and have a great family. I'd kill anyone who tried to take that from me so there is no chance I'd give the teenage me any advice that might put me in a different spot on the street that day.

"**** worrying about degrees and certificates and learn how to program, do as many online/technical digital marketing courses and start your own projects. Get a any old job, save money and move to Germany as soon as possible."

You might as well try and fail at something you find interesting instead of failing at something you don't.

Feisar · 12-08-2019 01:52PM

Just not to sweat the small stuff.

Oh and bang that Finnish blonde bombshell as yer GF is cheating on you.

12-08-2019 01:56PM

I'd tell 15 year old me to meet Sarah. To this day I haven't met a person, fella or wan, that I got on better with. I was too busy chasing wans that had not the remotest of interest in me.

Tammy! · 12-08-2019 01:58PM

I would say...

When your older brothers friend that you have a huge crush on asks you to go out for a chat with him at that party just go, **** it!

Ah when one is young, dumb and full of vigour we tend to make them mistakes.

I would add, learn a musical instrument that no one else plays and you can earn money from!

Well, where I am from the drummers and keyboard players did well for themselves financially. Playing guitar or bass meant you were one of many and much less likely to earn a few quid from it.
