Younger you


Don't bother with women - they either break your heart or take half you've earned for no reason, bringing very little to the table for the faff.

Give up following football- it all becomes about money once Sky tv is involved and you'll have wasted your youthful interest.

Buy a house, rent it out and live off grid in a boat/van as soon as you can.

Get better hifi earlier, don't ever try an twist and change direction at full speed in a football match in your 30s.

Move to south Wales or the Lakes. Don't move to Swindon, its a trap.
 
Hello 16 year old me. This will make no sense to you for another 10 years, but learn how to mine bitcoin in 2008.

Also, never get less then 12 hours sleep, never play cards with a guy who has the first same name as a city, and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Stick to that and everything else is cream cheese.
 
I haven't learnt that yet and i doubt i will. Just spent far too much on a special edition sampdoria shirt
I still buy quality, last years away shirt for example is an absolute beauty, and I've got an Adidas trabs addiction, but I wear $5 t shirts around the house during the week and run into the corner shop in whatever trackies are laying about. The Italians make outstanding kits don't they.

Wait, what? Do we need to warn more people about this?? Are you stuck on the magic roundabout? Blink once for "yes".
 
Try not to get married.

Never, ever, ever, ever sire children. Ever. Ever.

Try not to become a lawyer if you have another option but, honestly, by 16 I think it's too late to take a different route that will pay nearly as well.

Otherwise, try to make the best of it all. It's weird, the whole life business: it's both short and long at the same time. I'm struggling to get a grip on it, so hope you make a better fist of it than I did.
 
Everybody lies, life doesn't get easier, try to be good to yourself. It's easier achieving things whilst you have a bit of youth on your side, because believe you me, pain turns up, and it is debilitating. One day you can eat and drink what you want, the next thing you know you're bed ridden because you've tried to wring out a flannel.

You probably would have had more fun pursuing computer games design. 'Cash for your gold' is the spivs genius idea, because paper money turns out to be useless, if you can face doing it, rip people off ten a penny.
 

Coach Finstock from Teen Wolf is a cult hero of mine. Absolutely love that film, and he plays a massive part in that love.
