Post by: Woodsey on July 15, 2014, 10:46:14 PM Buy that house in London after leaving uni and stick around down there for a few years an work. Would have been living mortgage free in a big house up north by the age of 30.
Borrow that £50k to train to be a pilot when I was 25. Don't piss away all the money away I won on poker when the game was easy, it will be useful later on lol. Title: Re: What would you tell your 11 year old self? Post by: Ironside on July 16, 2014, 12:04:37 AM dont go near motorbikes

Dont drift through teens and 20s, grab life better. When you move out save more - boring but sensable and you can still enjoy life Don't miss out on going to Europe travelling, just because your mates couldn't go. When you're asked to go Liverpool vs Newcastle, dont say no you can't due to work!! The Liverpool lass - aint what you think - avoid. Dont get married in the same year as Liverpool play in Instanbul. You cant do both! Title: Re: What would you tell your 11 year old self? Post by: Junior Senior on July 16, 2014, 09:29:34 AM It would have been 1990.

Post by: Graham C on July 16, 2014, 11:04:57 AM Advice for me at 11? Not much really, probably don't go to the senior school just because a couple of your mates are going there but no biggie really. Now, advice for 14-16, plenty..

I don't know what I's specifically say to 11 year old Claire, but it would be all around boosting/re-enforcing decent self-esteem probably. Although I might have turned out to be an arrogant knob with it, so I dunno really. Title: Re: What would you tell your 11 year old self?

Title: Re: What would you tell your 11 year old self? Post by: Redsgirl on July 16, 2014, 02:48:26 PM Most times, things that seem like a big deal, aren't.
Don't worry about the future, you can't control it so just relax and deal with life as it unfolds. Don't try to conform to other people's ideals, and remember everyone else has their insecurities too, no matter how cool and confident they may seem. Title: Re: What would you tell your 11 year old self? Post by: leethefish on July 16, 2014, 05:02:23 PM When you join the army and go to Germany buy that tax free car!
Also when you get the chance in 12-13 years time buy that house next door for 27k and the one next door but one for 30k ! Title: Re: What would you tell your 11 year old self? Post by: RED-DOG on July 16, 2014, 09:38:08 PM Lots of money orientated ones. Nothing wrong with that of course, but you might as well tell your 11yo self to back several long odds winners in an accumulator.
Title: Re: What would you tell your 11 year old self? Post by: willrobrobu on July 16, 2014, 09:46:34 PM you could just tell yr 11 year old self to write the script to back to the future (as long as you were old enough to be 11 before in whatever part of the 80s it came out)

Don't worry about those spots on your forehead Don't have a perm aged 14 (ruined my hair for years and looked horrendous) Stay on at school and complete your A levels Don't get involved with bad boys. It may seem exciting, but it will wear you down and mess with your head. Title: Re: What would you tell your 11 year old self? Post by: DaveShoelace on July 17, 2014, 09:25:34 PM I'd tell myself that I end up nailing the school Librarian's fit daughter when I'm 25.
Then I would high five myself. Title: Re: What would you tell your 11 year old self? Post by: Marky147 on July 17, 2014, 09:35:44 PM Don't be such a prick to Mum & Dad when you're a teenager.
Stay at school, and actually go to your lessons, instead of hustling at the snooker club. Title: Re: What would you tell your 11 year old self? Post by: Tal on July 17, 2014, 09:54:40 PM Listening, studying and working hard at school are overrated. You will still end up on the same poker forum as the kids who used to drink and talk to the girls anyway.

Unfortunately lessons not learnt in blood are seldom remembered... They can never take your sense of humour :D I'd say keep crushing your parents at every card game, the practice will come in handy, and don't bother with Chemistry, you never really wanted to do computer science anyway Title: Re: What would you tell your 11 year old self? Post by: Sark79 on October 18, 2014, 06:11:49 PM As a kid I had an uncle who was a golf fanatic. He wasn't really an uncle, just one of those family friends who kids call uncle. He didn't have any children of his own and desperately tried to get my sister and I interested in golf. I used to go to his house most days after school where his wife would look after me until my family got home. He went to school with Scottish golfer Michael Miller and he also did lots of charity work with Sam Torrance over the years, his playing skill didn't match theirs, however he did play many amateur events. Right from the time that I first began to walk he tried to get me to join him on the golf course and eventually when I got to about 13 he gave up trying. I wish I had taken him up on his offer to play golf with him. These days I really enjoy watching golf and became interested in it after watching Justin Rose have his amazing run at the Open some years ago while he was still an amateur. I forget what year that was, perhaps 1997?
I would also like to have told myself to get an apprenticeship when I turned 16. Maybe its because I am currently watching lots of downloads of the "New Yankee Workshop" starring Norm Abram but the idea of working with wood interests me. In last nights episode, Norm expertly built a chicken coup from scratch. I guess I could still learn to become a skilled craftsman if I travelled to Pennsylvania to join an Amish group. I doubt they would take me though as I don't speak German, don't really follow religion, I have a fear of heights and I also suffer from bad sunburn in overly sunny places. Pennsylvania's heat would pose a problem. I also tend to grow patchy beards and not the typical impressive Amish beard. I will probably just stick to buying products from Ikea rather than dreaming about building them myself Title: Re: What would you tell your 11 year old self?
