They tried the cane with me twice and twice I said if you come near me with that I’ll wrap it round your f***ing head and beat you to death with it and they bottled it……a dig on the chin to a trapsy 18 year old is one thing but hitting 11,12,13 year olds with a stick is a c**ts game. jmho of course 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WILF 44,674 Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 As far as advice to myself ?….don’t start smoking and play more & better football…….. That said, everyone’s a genius after the event and I had a whale of a time as a young man so why would I go changing ? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

THE STIFFMEISTER 14,715 Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 I Wasted a lot of time on people who didn’t deserve it. I don’t mean that facetiously either , from 11 - 24 I literally lived in everyone else’s house bar my own. sometimes I wish I’d had the foresight to invest that time into something other than dogs , monging about , kicking a football and boozing . time is the most precious commodity in the world , everything else can be replaced . everything Else, pah , que sera sera . Let the cards fall where they land 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Let the cards fall where they land I think it’s easy to think like that, but as I said we are all clever after the event. Im a massive believer in every event in your life leads you to where you are…..wherever that is. Even when you are going through bad shit, I’ve learned from experience that you don’t know where that path leads……without X then Y would never happen mate. Cant regret it, you did it, it shaped you, that’s the end of it…. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tatsblisters 8,297 Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 Some one once said to me though I can't recall who that if I had not wasted my time on dogs and poaching especially lurchers I might have been in a better position I am in now and a think na the people I've met and the memories were well worth it for my position in life now. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Qbgrey 3,991 Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 Don’t look back in anger, I think that’s a good thing that I believe, you will have regrets, things you did or thought you should of done. Never try to match other people, or get jealous of what others have . Be happy with your lot. In my eyes if you got beer, tits, wheels, a roof, then your doing ok 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
