"… then what you know now.
What would you do different?
I’d have signed with Vivid when I had an in. Yes, really."
Good old vivid video!
I’d have started my property portfolio.
I’d have avoided my ex.
I’d have joined fab. |

Sometimes I think I wouldn't have suggested coffee with someone. Just gone to sleep.
Everything else?
Wouldn't change it.
Actually, no. I'd not have asked a famous author if he wrote a book I know, I really know he didn't write because I was tongue tied and fangirling like a twunt.

At least you got words out. I was like a goldfish when I met Ray Bradbury. |

"It's a cliché but I would have worked harder at school rather than relying on luck and chosen a very different direction at tertiary level
When did you start to realise it?"
Probably when I was about 40. I began to study the things I really wanted to and haven't stopped. It's probably true that I wasn't ready to apply myself until then so knowing then what I know now wouldn't have helped. |

You know I was thinking about this the other day.
At school when choosing my options.
A new o level/ CSE course was introduced
Computer Studies.
I famously turned to my year head and said
" naaaa I won't bother with that nonsense there's no future in computers"
Very shortly after choosing woodwork instead the world embraced computer's and I ended up becoming a hairy arsed builder.
Most of the people on this particular course went onto very successful career's as they were the first to have an actual qualification! |

Quite a few things
One main one was back when on an old bodybuilding forum a member who was known for going to great length to avoid any form of working to earn a living and was generally mocked somehow got a bitcoin when they were very cheap and advised we all did too and we all laughed some even made photoshops of coins with his face on nobody took it serious as for a decade we had seen his money making schemes fall flat on their face. Had any of us listened could have been very wealthy now haha
More serious ones
Spent more time with my dad after his cancer diagnosis I’d seen one of my best mates mother get given 5 years and at the time was going strong ten years later I was convinced my dad would do the same 5 weeks later he was gone.
Never took someone for granted, she saved my life taking me to hospital when I didn’t know was having heart attack they told me how lucky I was to get there when I did, we had had an amazing 4 month beforehand, afterwards I wasn’t me mentally for a long while she stuck it out ten months before finally leaving and at time I didn’t care once I felt well again mentally about 7 months later I realised my mistake |

But if I knew then what I know now, what else would I know now in consequence of that knowledge gained earlier, that could take me into a never-ending loop of then/now time-hopping and accumulation of knowledge and perhaps even....spoiler alert...wisdom?
Would I get to know EVERYTHING that is knowable...
In which case...I'd change the whole human world into psychic alien human-panther hybrids with no gender and a penchant for perma-peace mega-shag luxury space communism.
Might occasionally snaffle a doner kebab too.
Other than that, nothing.
I like the adventure too much to change any of it xx.

The one thing I have said to my children that I regret and so I guess would change was leaving my first wife, which led to a financially ruinous divorce from my second and had a really bad impact on my kids. On the other hand, I wouldn't have met my third, who was the one I really loved for herself, not just for her body. |

I've changed my mind.
One thing I'd never do is let those goats out of my sight again! |
