A Question for our More Mature PON Members. I will Admit this Question was asked on another Platform I'm a part of and, I Think it will be Interesting to ask here as it got a Excellent Response on that Platform. And apologies to our Younger Members for me leaving them out , this One Time. 

My Question is this.

If You had a Time Machine which meant you could Go Back In Time. What piece of advice would you give your 21 year Old Self? As usual with this type of Question, I'll start the Ball Rolling.

You shouldn't have Married this One. She's a Wrong Un'.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing. When you are older and wiser  (some might disagree with that one) I think that most would say that they should or could have done things differently.

I wish I had stayed on at school.  I just wanted to leave school & get a job, which I did. 

I wish I had taken my Motor Cycle test, but I took my driving test & bought a car & sold my motor bike.

In those days you could ride a 250cc Bike on a provisional. My Honda CB 250 twin was a pleasure to ride. Cost me £265 with a £230 bank loan over 2 years.

In hindsight though I'm pleased I learned to drive because it's so much better being in the dry than getting soaked to the skin in the wet on a bike.

Something super useful in regard to PON, would be to solely focus on my efforts and ignore what people say. I wish I had made my own judgement at times, but those are things you learn with wisdom and not everyone who suddenly befriends you has the best interest. I would also encourage myself to start the site sooner, with the same focus as I have now in terms of content.

If I went back in time the advice I would give my 21 year old self is, “don’t change a thing, you’ve met a beautiful young lady and in a years time you will marry her and have two fantastic kids, treasure your mum and dad they won’t be here forever, spend as much time as you can with family, things happen that can take away what you take for granted, enjoy every moment as if it was your last”.

”Oh and don’t expect too much of Notts County, there’ll be good times and bad but they will survive”.
