“I would tell myself to keep a detailed daily diary because I would love to be able to look back at my life and relive some of the things that happened.

Sometimes I reminisce with school friends and we have different memories of our shared past. I'd like to know what really happened.”

“dont write that letter to Jimmy Savile, i'm still having the flashbacks”

No GCtheDJ, it is asking people about what advice that they would give themselves. So anyone that has anything to say on the subject will be talking about themselves. I know that you struggle with complicated concepts - and easy ones come to that - so I hope this helps.

ps Are you allowed out on your own?”

“Dear ghostwriter/zeddlepops, In answer to your question. Yes i am allowed out on my own. How thoughtful of you, thank you for your continuing concern about my welfare. i hope this isn't going to be about you though. With mutual respect.”

“No mutual respect. Now have a little hissy fit about that.”

“he he that made me chuckle darkchuck -

I would have travelled more and skipped a few ex boyfrinds and took a job I was offered in the Labs at smith and nephew when I left school.

But then i wouldn't have met my husband and had my little man who I idolise

I would have tried harder as well - I joked about which cost me a place at oxford .... Loser!

I would have taken a degree in social science - waste of time”

“Sorry should have read 'wouldn't have taken a degree' - I thought that if I got an 'ology' I was a scientist”

“keep me legs shut till I'm 18,,,,HA HA HA PML,,,, no i love all me baines really,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I would have been an afro hairdresser cause i love me weaves”

“As posted by a few others, I would definitely tell myself to get my head down at school and push myself more....
...Oh and next year when you're 12, when riding your mates trial bike, avoid the hole that sends you crashing into a tree breaking your shoulder and collar bone, it will save you a lot of problems later in life;)”

“Now that sounds painful. Could have been worse (could have been me!) ;}”

“Memorise these lottery numbers....”

“When you get married in 25 years your partner is going to be unfaithful. Here is a list of people who will fancy you at the time, but who respect the fact that you're married and so don't make their move. Make sure you sleep with every single one of them while married!”

“Enjoy every waking minute because you'll blink and you'll be 50.”

“1) Don't start smoking next year
2) Don't let sport go to your head in your late teens, spend more time on school revision.
3) Pay more attention to what the wife gets upto, may stop that divorce, no forget that, get rid earlier, present partner is perfect.
4) When the chance to emmigrate comes take it, don't um an arh.”

“Don't take the job at 16 and go to collage! Yes money seems great now but when your friends all have actual careers you will regret it.”

“Work hard at your English lessons and read lots of good quality fiction/non fiction. Having a good command of your native tongue and a formidable vocabulary could open all sorts of doors and allow you to negotiate some advantageous deals for yourself. Knowledge is power but not a lot of use if you can't express yourself effectively. Also, be regular in your habits.”

“And don't get stressed up about phones. ;-))”

“End it all now.”

“jenoh if you are depressed try avin a few shotz of corkeys ... I had 43 and i fought it was the end,,, ,,, i walked round 4 days in a daze”
