The internet isn't as good as it used to be.
I preferred it when it was all Netscape and there were only 256 colours.

What makes you think that 1995 wasn't so bad, really?

He's been walking lots and lots in his job.
He's naturally skinny, though.

Now you're a good 14 years older, with lesser hair and you grumble and moan at a person you've never met, from the internet.

I was 12
I can't remember if that was good or bad. Telly and advertising and 'celebrities' weren't quite so shit.

I finally sat my A-level exams and got decent grades (moved from my island home to a cool sixth form college in Cambridge for a year), which was good
but I also didn't apply to Oxbridge and failed to keep in touch with a lot of cool people, which was bad...

If I had a time machine, I would definitely go back and give my 1995 self a good talking to (although that would create some sort of paradox etc.)
(, Sat 13 Jun 2009, 18:13, archived)
there's nothing bad about not applying to Oxbridge,
I didn't either. There are loads of other good universities. And jobs, for that matter.
(, Sat 13 Jun 2009, 18:14, archived)
I didn't.
But then I'm not nearly smart enough for Oxford or Cambridge.
(, Sat 13 Jun 2009, 18:18, archived)
I reckon I was,
but they didn't go through UCAS at the time so I didn't think it was worth the bother.
Although I knew a guy who got 5 As at A-level and still got rejected.
(, Sat 13 Jun 2009, 18:20, archived)
I just wish I had applied instead of assuming that I wouldn't get in
I would have done loads more work/learnt more at Oxbridge; I bumped into a few undergrads that I knew whilst doing my A-levels, and the amount of work/reading they were required to do was much more than I was required to do at my uni (for them, doing the minimum wasn't really an option).

and impregnated my wife.

And had a 386 SX 16 laptop with a black and white screen so I couldn't see all of those colours until 1996 when I got a 386 DX 20 desktop.
