This is a question My Greatest Regrets

When I was still quite young, I was offered the chance to spend several weeks in the South of France. My Uncle was going to drive me down in his vintage MG sports car. There would be sun, sand and, crucially, French girls.

I was too scared of the French girls to go.

What do you regret not doing?

Regret spiral
Regrets can shape your life positively and the list of pointers below is a very good way to live your life.

Without regrets, lessons will never be learned.

It may be possible to shag your mates bird up the gary, but there is a cost. It may be worth paying. But it might not.

its never a regret if you understand the possibilities in front of you. just a decision.

It'll all catch up sometime in the life of your soul - karma will find you. there can be no escape.

That said, don't use friends untied to find past muses. That is something you will probably regret more than what you have missed out on.

Don't be part of the spiral. Regret is like a magnet, and pulls more regret to it. Just move on and spread the new found wisdom and love.

Peace out. Aim for no regrets AND some hot action.

I am off to get myself some Hard class A's and off to bone the wife. No regrets.

Buying things I really don't need!

Saving each month just to pay bills!

Having so much tax taking of me to pay for scum, serf, chav, peasant cunts to sponge of me then go round steeling what ever they like, then being let of by the cunty left wing fucking goverment we have, who slap them on the wrist and say go on have more money! Thick cunts begat thick cunts! They should all be sterilized, hopefully Chlamydia will do that for us.

Bitter today! Very very bitter!

Democracy! What a joke! Robin Hood what a cunt!

ikea
i bought an ikea chair for my computer desk, and it has some screws in it that need an allen key.

of course i threw away the key, and now the back of the chair falls off every few days, so i have to try to put the screws back in by hand.

fingers don't make very good allen keys :(

My major regret(s)
In order of doing:

I regret getting together with my best friend.

Then going psycho and threatening suicide.

Then him breaking up with me,and not staying in touch,hence me losing best friend.

Am not getting various friends to try and track him down,for friendships sake.

Regretfully...
I sometimes ponder and regret not doing that which I don't regret doing. But I usually regret this.
Or not, such as the case may be.

Regrets?
I've had a few.

But then again, too few to mention.

Certainly too few too bleat about on a message board like a whiny old bastard...

On consideration ...
The solutions are clear:

1) Shag whoever you can, whenever you can (unless you are married or in a relationship).
2) Don't stay in relationships you know are wrong - they don't get beter.
3) The safe route is always the boring one.
4) Love (if it is real) beats money and experience in the long run.
5) Until you are about 25, you can do almost anything and survive it.
6) Alcohol causes more regrets than girls or money.
7) The past is a memory, the future is a guess - only the present exists.
8) Don't wait for things to get better - they never do. They just stay the same unless you change them.
9) Worrying what other people think is a tyranny that oppresses your spirit. Fuck 'em!
10) Read B3TA instead of working. Works for me.

I REGRET SOMEONE DIDN'T GIVE ME THIS LIST 20 YEARS AGO!!!!

Are you saying that the fact that you owned three really cool cars is one of your greatest regrets? I regret the fact that i didn't work harder so that I'd be able to afford better than my M reg Fiat Panda, but I'd hardly call is my greatest regret.

Not getting over it
During the summer break after my first year at uni I moved back home. Met a girl in my town and a relationship ensued which we carried on through my second year at uni. She eventually cheated on me and we split up because I picked a fight with the bloke she slept with. Over the course of the next 6-7 months she then....

1)Led me on and kept telling me she wanted to get back with me while getting more cock than a porn star, thus resulting in me not having the ambition/motivation go and meet new ladies.

2)Told my friends and assortment of nutters in my town that I used to hit her when we argued (this was a lie by the way).

3)Slept with two of my best mates (best mates, pfft!!)

4)Convinced me to shag her again by crying and apologising for everything she had done and telling me she still loved me. I caught Chlamydia off her.

So my biggest regret in life is not telling this bitch to fucking do one as soon as she cheated on me. Never mind, she can't get a fella now because she’s overweight and has a reputation for being such a slag. I on the other hand have found new love with the soundest girl I have ever met and couldn't be happier.

Apologies for length, this is the best therapy ever!!

Why do I never realise when an attractive woman is making a pass at me?

Car
Bought a TVR Cerbera, fire shot out the exhausts, was really really fast and cool (or I thought so).

Had it 3 months, spun it twice, had 9 (yes 9) new batteries in it, went back 4 times for repairs in the 3 month period.

Everyone told me it was a mistake.

I regret that quite a bit, got it up to 160 though :)

Bought a Subaru Impreza after that, finally got rid of it when children came along and I got fed up of people trying to car-jack me at Traffic Lights in Birmingham, I regret selling it, it was a fantastic car.
All this after my wife got car-jacked in my Audi TT.

Regrets?
There have been a great many moments in life when I've thought "Oh, if only I'd done [x, y, z]!"
If only I'd had those casual shags that were on offer, then I'd have had a few more hours of sexual gratification! Like when my girlfriend had cheated on me and wanted to make it up by letting me fuck her sexy mate... Or when my mate's stoned partner wanted me to do her in the ass when he was asleep...
If only I'd studied harder and passed more exams, then I'd have got into an entirely different career and never have met any of the people I know now!
You get the picture.
But now I have a good life. I work for the toy industry, I have a gorgeous girlfriend, I know where I'm going, I'm not afraid of death or life, and I'm not taking anything too seriously.
If I changed anything in my past, would I be here now? Would I have the things I enjoy? My life would be irreversibly different if I changed any part of it - and this is the best life I've ever had.

standard fare
three regrets. one churlish, one is a sort of regret and the last is serious.

first regret happened years ago. it was in the days of first love so that prolly makes me around 11 or 12. i'd fancied this girl at school called nicola burns - i'd even written 'lh 4 nb' on my bedroom wall. anyhoo - at the school roller disco the mates and i were zipping around and faling over. then comes the 'slow dance' which was basically an excuse for the teachers to embarrass us all by making us hold hands with a member of the opposite sex. nicola chooses me over everyone else and i run and hide. or rather roll and hide. because i fancied her. i ended up skating round with some freak and watching her skate round and round holding the hand of a rival. she changed schools not long after that and i never saw or heard from her again. shame.

second one is breaking my jaw whilst drunk and car surfing. spent a week in hospital, lost several teeth and a lot of dignity. it did however make me realise that i'd fallen in love with the woman who is now my wife. took us a while longer to get together tho.

third regret is my affair last year. very nearly ended the best thing in my life and i still don't know why i did it. things aren't so much 'back to normal' as 'better than ever'! so, i'm quite happy with how that turned out even tho i was a gnats pube away from fucking things up cata-fucking-gorically.

life, eh?

Rhyswynne's story reminded me of a golden opportunity I missed, that haunts me to this day!
I went to a Coldplay "after party", and standing by the bar was the legend himself, Liam Gallagher! I regret not lunging over and punching his stupid manc face off.

How was I to know it was my last chance ever to see them live ? With only 10 weeks until the end, I thought the concert was likely to be too expensive and crowded, and that they'd be back when the hype had died down.

PREFECTion
Regrets?, I dont do regrets..........................well except this one time.

Have you ever had a meeting of minds with someone who ticks just about everyone of your boxes? Makes you laugh? Spends illicit afternoons on email when you should both be working? Sharing deep and intimate ideas and fantasies, even though you've never clapped eyes on that person?. You get where I'm coming from anyway.

Just this once, I regret not being single. Would've been a blast I'm sure.

So, to my favourite Prefect. Make sure you find an absolute cracker!

Regret my lack of effort
Story of my life unfortunately.

Predicted O-levels 9, actual passes 5. A-levels 3, actual none. Kicked
off apprenticeship for failing exams because I didn't study. Failed to get into military unit of choice after not being fit enough (read "not trying hard enough"). To be honest I can live with all of that, I've had a blast,
slacking my way to the middle and most of the time not being caught out, but there was one instance where I regret not trying harder and her name was Natasha.

We were too young, too jealous, too selfish, too volatile and probably too in love. We saw each other for four four years and it was a torrid and tempestuous time for both of us. When it finished, we both had our share of scars. But to this day I regret that I didn't make more effort, to try harder, every day, to make our relationship work.

When it finally did end it was not pleasant and we ended up never seeing each other again, at least not until a few weeks ago. 16 years and not a word exchanged between us and suddenly she's on the platform at Kings Cross, catching the same tube train as me. I was so sick with nerves I could hardly speak to her and only managed to talk when we got off at the
same station. Suddenly I realised that I had loved and missed her almost every single day for 16 years, she later told me the same, even admitting that she had second thoughts on her wedding day when she thought of me.

So my real regret is not doing anything for 16 years, for not finding her and keeping her with me.

And now, now I have a second chance, well like Top Gun "The first time, I crashed and burned, it wasn't pretty. This time, well it's looking pretty good, but I'll tell you in the morning"
