Collective Thoughts

Saturday 8 - What If?

1. If you could have named yourself, which name would you have chosen, and why?
2. If you could relive a year in your life, what age would it be, and why?
3. If you could go back and change one friendship in your past, who would it have been, and why?
4. If you could have dated one person in your past that you did not date, who would it be, and why?
5. If you could say one thing/idea/sentiment to someone in your past, what would it be, and why?
6. If you had the opportunity to live in another country, which one would it be, and why? if you choose NOT to live in another country, why do you want to stay in your current country?
7. If you could choose your dream job, what would it be, and why?
8. If you could wish a wish and it be guaranteed to come true (and not to your detriment or to the detriment of anyone else), what would it be, and why?

1. If you could have named yourself, which name would you have chosen, and why? I am happy with what was the Stuart James Bruce combo. The James and Bruce are family names but not sure about the reasoning behind the Stuart.
2. If you could relive a year in your life, what age would it be, and why? When I was 19. I left University and headed off to Israel to work and live on a kibbutz. That was the most uplifting experience of my whole entire existence but, knowing what I know now, I could make so much more fo that time!
3. If you could go back and change one friendship in your past, who would it have been, and why? I would have persuaded my best friend Ian not to go on that school trip from which he never came back.
4. If you could have dated one person in your past that you did not date, who would it be, and why? I can't remember now if I actually dated her or not but I was besotted with Julie Gallagher at the swimming club when I was about 10-12. I think Mum and Dad still keep in touch with her family so she is probably married with kids by now!
5. If you could say one thing/idea/sentiment to someone in your past, what would it be, and why? "Love you always" to my Nan because she was a great influence on my life and I didn't say it often enough and I wasn't around for when she was sick or when she died. Sorry Nan.
6. If you had the opportunity to live in another country, which one would it be, and why? if you choose NOT to live in another country, why do you want to stay in your current country? The 2 that spring to mind are USA ( Florida ) and Spain but that is mainly because they are the 2 best places that we have been on holiday. But Spain may get the vote because of the pace of life, the weather, the people, the language ( I almost know what they are saying! ), and the whole family loves it too. We won't be going as it is too scary an option, especially when the kids are starting to get to exam age. Give it a year and we may have a holiday place over there.
7. If you could choose your dream job, what would it be, and why? An F1 driver. I love going fast in cars, bikes, go-karts. Motorbike on its way soon!
8. If you could wish a wish and it be guaranteed to come true (and not to your detriment or to the detriment of anyone else), what would it be, and why? For everyone to understand and agree how we got here, whether it be by a God or scientific means.
