Fucking hell, over half an hour since anyone posted?
This isn't /Talk you know.

It seems to have been misty here since Sunday, what's the weather like where you are?

If you could go back to yourself at the start of your career, what advice would you give yourself with the benefit of hindsight, and would the younger you have listened to it?

I'd go back further and tell my 15 year old self to do his fucking coursework and revise for my GCSEs

Revise for GCSEs?

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Thu 3 Apr 2014, 13:30, Reply)

What for?
GCSEs are a waste of time. You only need 5 to get onto A levels

I wasn't able to do one of my A-levels of choice because of a low GCSE grade, this had an impact on my chosen career.

Perks of the job innit

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Thu 3 Apr 2014, 13:57, Reply)

On the plus side I've actually been working all morning
so it was piss-easy to catch up.

Weather's actually quite pleasant, a bit overcast but not cold.

I'd tell myself to not buy a house off the guy you sit next to at work, and to always double-check a delete command.

Suppose I should answer my own question.
"Don't take voluntary redundancy in 2011, you'll end up regretting it and spending most of your free time job hunting in between bouncing from contract to contract." I'd like to think that younger me would take this sage advice on board and not tell me to fuck off.

In the same way I would have got onto the property ladder much earlier than I did

Newcastle was like silent Hill over the weekend It was mental.
Thick and constant ( no, not YM), all the way to Middlesbrough.

alt. I would have told myself to stick at the law thing instead of going galavanting round bars and Djing.
I had fun though and still enjoy my life now so Je regrette rien

my career is great, but if we're doing hindsight wishes, i wouldn't have gone to london uni. i'd have had another crack at oxford, gone there, and then ended up as a leading journo.

It's really rather obvious; he's trying to disguise his true feelings for you.
A bit like Andrew Lincoln to Keira Knightley in Love Actually.

People wrap it up in the "it's just the internet" thing but he really is a fucking awful person.
Poor him though, sat festering in his own misery every day. Takes all sorts to make this world and if this is his contribution then good luck to him.

He's kinda killing the site though.
