I gave away my star wars toys...
...to the children's hospital. I realised my mistake as the parentmobile disappeared round the corner of the road. No such things as mobile phones those days and there they were gone... even Boba Fett. There were figures and machines that you could only get by sending off obscure proofs of purchase and the like.

arse.

and then years later, my friend from uni asked if I would like a job with his new company. £120 a week cash in hand. I didn't understand the phrase 'cash in hand' and thought "I'm getting £120 a week now from my factory job, I don't want to sell advertising over the phone" and politely declined. 6 months later, I heard about my friend again when he'd sold his company (in the dotcom bubble) for £10million.

arse.

My gfriend at the time however... on the night we got together, she had the option of me or him (the £10 million bloke) and she chose me. When I found out about his success, I told her about it. On the day before her re-sit exam, which she failed and ended up with a 'pass' which means she may as well have not done the 3rd year of her degree. We went out for another 4 years or so before it all imploded and she was left with the rabbit but I got all the friends.

I feel utterly terrible about all of that. No one deserves that.

Pain, felt.
I gave away my 'complete' set of Star Wars figures that I had scrimped saved for and cajoled from family at every birthday and Christmas for years. It included all of the proof of purchase ones like the Rancor keeper etc. I feel regret every day...it has been a long twenty+ years since! Have a consolation click.
