So you have one chance to turn back time. What year would you go back to and what would you do differently? Or are you happy to be in 2020 (apart from the C-word)?

For us, we agree that we'd like to go back 10 years but only with the benefit of hindsight. Without that hindsight, we're happy to be where we are now

Happy to be where Im at. The way I look at things is that every decision ive made good or bad is a learning experience and every situation ive gone through even though some have been horrendous I wouldnt be the person I am today without them. Ive got all i need. Might not be a millionaire but i have a lot that priceless and to be thankful for

I'd be more inclined to move it forward but if I'm restricted to turning back it wouldn't be within my own lifetime because of the effect it would have on others.

I'd go back a couple of lifetimes ago to when I was here before.

I must say i've never pondered on going forward in time. What are you looking forward to, if you don't mind me asking?

I don't think I'd go back on my own life because what happened in the past made me who I am today. If I did go back it would get back the body I had in my 20s and keep it.

Nothing in particular. When you see the advances in technology over the last 100 years it would be interesting to see if that trend continues or if 2020 convinces mankind to seek other ways to advance through nature and sustainability rather than tech.

If I could turn back time I'd have no knowledge that I achieved it, as I would only have the information I had at the time I went back to, only to eventually get to the point again where I turn back time, and repeat the eternal time loop over and over again with no idea of what's happening.

Jesus that's a terrifying concept

Time : Summer 2000

Place : Homelands Festival, outside the blue tent next to the main stage.

Person : The beautiful brunette that I was chatting to afor hours early in the night until I lost the power of speech... who I ran into again at the train station about 7am on the way home, and who tried to talk to me, and rekindle our chats from the previous night.. but I was just TOO gone. She was amazing.

I'd like to turn back time to about 15 yrs in the past just to live a healthier lifestyle.

I once lost 3 stone in slimming world and thought that I can do this on my own ....I couldn't

Apart from that I've made mistakes ....some big but they made me up I am so I can't change that and no point in worrying about it

Brining answer maybe but I wouldn’t turn back time if I could. My mistakes have taught me many lessons.

That being said - I wish I’d bought the leather skirt I was browsing earlier and now it’s sold out

In that case, I'd probably go back to 2017, and drink some Lucozade Original. Before the sugar tax came in, and they changed the recipe to piss.

Realistically we can't turn back time so for me i like to live in the moment and keep it real. But I have most definitely revisited past and in hindsight i have had regrets but i choose to let them go the best i can and live in the now. One of those regrets in regards education which can be ratified. But as for any others then it is what it is and was meant to happen then i do believe. One learns from mistakes this the reality and if one doesn't learn then well may possibly still keep living in the past times. Keeping it in the now i think is best practice although easier said than done all the time i know.

I agree. The biggest benefit of age i think is accepting ones life for what it is, making the most of it and making the decision to be happy. I was always looking for others to make me happy. It's a lightbulb moment when you realise that this is wrong approach, life experience teaches you that

One thing sticks out.

I would go back to 2005. I came home from abroad and started a new job in Dublin. Instead of moving up to Dublin to live, enjoy full city life and night life, I moved to a commuter belt town so I could go home to train and play GAA at the weekends. I got sense and moved up at start of 2007 and had a great 8 months.......then the bust arrived in style and everything stopped with a bang.

I don't regret it per ce but I should really have made more of working in the city when I was much younger!
