If you could go back to your 18th birthday ...

[fizzwheel]

One day you'll have a better job than you ever imagined, far better than the people who bullied you at school and made you feel worthless ever will.

Follow your heart not you head, but dont let one rule the other. Trust your gut instinct its normally right.

Sometimes your friends dont always have your best interests at heart.

Dont waste your opportunities by fretting about "what if"

One day you'll not care what people think of you and you'll be the better for it.

Oh and that girl that you thought liked you that you did nothing about because you werent sure. Well actually she did. Take a risk and ask her out. Nothing ventured nothing gained.

Fail Bri

That is all.

Pass your bike test asap,
Don't have anything to do with gingers,
Don't be a tw*t.
Beat the crap out of more people who pee you off.
As scoobs, shag everything you can while lowering your standards a bit.

Learn a Martial art and / or musical instrument,
Learn a language.

Didn't, should have

Should have taken the Scoobs approach, but my heart had been broken, so didn't trust the female of species for a long time

1. Go see every Springsteen live gig you can afford to
2. Go see U2 before the POP Mart tour
3. Go to Live Aid next time
4. Go to the TT when Hailwood won on the Ducati, film it in HD somehow

My advice to myself would be "Carry on exactly as you are Laurie, you'll love every minute of it... but just watch the drinking when you're in your late 30s".

Never live with regrets from the past, live with hope for the future.

See 'the who' in concert asap.

1. "Go and see a shrink you loon, it wont hurt and it will save you from suffering for another twelve years."

2. "Pauly knows and loves you anyway."

Waiting until I was thirty to come out was damn foolish, should have done it at ten, never mind waiting until I was 18! Just in case any others are feeling this right now, it does get better! I am here to chat if you need it.

Thanks for the offer, but like you I prefer women and haven't ever felt the need or want to explore other dimensions to my sexuality
