Drinking with your younger self

I would go for a drink with "myself" four years ago, now go back around seven years and hell would have to freeze over before i'd go for a drink with the person i was then :eek: .

I would not have gone for a pint with myself 4 years ago. I was a whiny teacher who lived for hoildays and spent all day complaining! I changed jobs, travelled a bit and grew into my personality. i was fairly anti social then. i'm more outgoing now though and more interesting to be with (well in my view anyway!)

i'd go back and laugh at how tiny my 13 year old self was then

I'd definitely do it. That's is, If I could stand being around him. I warn him about all the crap he could fix in the future. Stupid ****er

hmmm... go back 4 years.... I'd tell myself to steer clear of absinthe before metal gigs... and no stage diving!

go back 20 yrs.... lots of advice to give... but would probably end up dead.. I was a bit wild then. I'll pass on that one!

No chance. I know the fuker would talk me into going clubbing on a tuesday out to club m or something like that giving me all the promises that he has two ladies lined up and all i need to do is turn up. Not for me young man

Definitely.

The 17 year old me always seemed to know where there was a good house party hoppin off. Maybe its rose tinted and all that ****e but i think we pulled more back then and all. We were poor but we were happy. Somehow it almost seems we had better craic drinkin earwaxy dutch in back alleys and headin to house parties and generally making a whole weekend out of 40 euro than we do now with our 5 quid drinks in sh1t Irish nightclubs. The old me (and the crew) drank in the alleys, sneaked into the clubs, went to after parties and generally arrived home as the sun came up. That buzz just seems to be gone, I havent been to a truly great house party in this country in maybe 4 or 5 months (remember falling out of a classic in my mates around May maybe around 7am, sun coming up, start of a beautiful day and me thinking "haha, summer has landed!!!".....cue that being pretty much the last of the good weather and 3 months of continous piss

)

Summer of 04, take me back

I'd actually like to go back and fight myself four year's ago!.

I'd tell my 17 year old self that the guy you are going out with now seems great but is nothing compared to the guy you will be going out with in 4 years' time. However I would also tell my 17 year old self that I should keep going out with this guy, so I am more experienced (less chance of fúcking up) and more appreciative when I do meet the better one.

Geeeez, I was only 16, dumb and foolish. Now I'm just foolish.
