This is a question Biggest opportunity I've blown

Not Alan Partridge tells us: "I was once offered the chance to co-present a programme on national radio. Audience of millions, but blew up spectacularly, my entire contribution being the rustling of paper in the background. I was that bad, I have since burned my copy of the pilot show." Tell us about your big break, and how you messed it up.

A short, dull list:
- on announcing that I was quitting university and returning home, my then employers offered me a full-time, department manager position. Who knows what dizzy heights of high street retail, I could have risen to?
- turned down an IT job offer, on the grounds that the company was based in Stevenage. Seriously, fuck Stevenage.
- turned down the opportunity to front a band, whilst at university. Probably wouldn't have led anywhere, but I regret saying "no".
- women who have told me that they would have quite liked to have slept with me. Why couldn't they have been more forward at the time?

Not really.
We could bulldoze it and they could all move to baldock or Milton Keynes.

Steady on.

I'm not driving to Milton Keynes every morning.
