What would you tell your 18 year old self.....

[mrcharly-YHT]

Do an hour's homework and study every night. Life will be easier if you do.

You hate your dad now - you won't when you are older (but you'll still remember him as a hard bastard to work with).

Take a look at people around you. Some of them like you. Trust them.

Go get that degree. Subject doesn't matter. Just pick something you are interested in.

Buy shares in Microsoft instead of that australian investment company.

It might feel good, but boy, your wrists won't thank you for it...

I wouldn't tell myself much, as I probably wouldn't listen anyway.

You won't have to spend the rest of your life wearing Dunlop Green Flash tennis shoes, as the availability of size 13 shoes will gradually improve over the next 30 years. Sleeves will continue to be too short though.

And such a persistent stain.

18?! Too late, I was already fucked then. I need to go back earlier than that 

[L CC]

I'd go back just a few weeks..


CAREFUL ON THE STAIRS

That's certainly what I've found on longer rides.
I've reversed my stem, raising the handlebars a couple of inches.

Oh me too, totally fell apart- they could remove organs left right and centre, but not my hair!!! Vanity eh?! The world totally did not end, and I also still have some wigs I now have quite long hair that has just grown back though that's all mine

One of the most incredible initiatives ever http://www.mynewhair.org/Home.aspx

Trevor started it when his sister lost her hair, and now only cuts wigs and hair for people in those circumstances. The difference it makes is astonishing, both in appearance and the feeling. Really should be wider known than it is.

(Mrs Ham went there and I can confirm he is a genius with the scissors, short explanation in my blog here http://londondailyphoto.blogspot.co.uk/2007/04/cutting-edge-humanity.html)

Also "Don't do a chemical engineering degree; you will hate it and you will have forgotten everything, except vaguely what a Reynolds number, is by the time you're 22".

You must have known my school friend PJ -- he introduced me to Chem Eng

I've never tried reversing my stem, but I can raise it more than two inches, even now...

Tell him that farting is still funny when you are in your 50s.

[jogler]

don't be cavalier with money,particularly when you have none

Don't let that girl go! No, not that one, the next one!
