If you could tell your young self something, what would it be?

[Dr The Singh]

You didn't try the old shagging your Mum thing did you?

You still stalking me???? How did you know???

[Daggers]

You still stalking me???? How did you know???

She told me.

[Koke]

Go to that trial Bristol City offered you.

Don't speak Arabic in an aggressive manner at airport check-ins (even to this day, yes)

Take good care of your family, especially your mum.

Don't be greedy with your money and help out your family/friends. What goes around comes around, it could be you one day.

[Lillehamring]

learn norwegian and move to oslo instead of london...

failing that - when the men from EMI come to your gig and talk to you after it for 10 minutes and ask you to send them a tape, don't leave it two months

[Nod.E]

Dont eat more than you need to

Dont go McDonalds

An Indian Curry diet is the worst diet

So I take it that you turned out to be a 'big boned' person?

Shit, i'm doomed.

Let people make their own choices, and their own mistakes. No matter how much you care about somebody, you cannot protect them from everything, especially their own stupidity. People, people who are close to you as well as anybody else, will do things which you hate, that will make you cry, that will make you feel utterly disgusted. Its down to them to learn from this. Don't judge them, don't say I told you so. Advise, not dictate.

Very, very good advice. My 'old self' should be much better at doing this than I am.

[Unabomber]

Be more grateful, and don't take friends, girlfriends, family, and money for granted. Look after them all.

[Guest]

If I could go back and tell myself what I know now, I would never have ended up where I am now. However it doesn't mean that's a bad thing, au contraire.

[AyewJoking]

tell myself to learn a trade and also put all my money on hull city being a premiership team in ten years time.

I'm still the same, I could do with my older self listening to this advice. But It's hard when you care about somebody, you feel as though sometimes, especially if you are protective of them, you need to steer them away from trouble, even of their own making. But it's not appreciated and only engenders resentment.

[Libertine]

Don't change anything sunshine, you're on the road to Godliness.

[Bert]

Do what you want to do as long as it's within the laws and look after the people you feel are special to you.

If people want to laugh and mock, it's probably because they're only jealous.

[Porky]

Simple.

Believe in yourself

So true. There are people in this world I want to wrap in cotton wool to stop them from ever get hurt. And I would unquestioningly fight tooth and nail on their behalf.

I think sometimes it is appreciated - although rarely at the time.

Far too often, I go rushing in... where angels fear to tread. You think I'd learn.

It's kind of like touching a metal kettle that's just boiled. You can tell yourself all you like that you'll keep your hand on it this time, but you'll still have an instant reaction and move your hand away, almost instinctive.

You can say that next time you won't go rushing in to help someone you love, but in reality you'll do it anyway.
