My Greatest RegretsWhen 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?

Stupid Subtle MatesIn my first year of university, I had a mate called Dave the Cat. He was your typical student: reads NME, anti-war, and eats everything. His first question to me was "What sort of music do you like?". I was - and still am - a huge Oasis fan (don't judge).
Three weeks later he rings me up and said "Do you want to see the Stands? £6. They've got a special...."
I cut him off, saying no. He was always asking me to watch gigs, usually bands I've never heard of, usually named "The __________"
For those of you who know, The Stands pulled Oasis out of the shit when they supported them on a world tour in early 2002. As a thank you, Noel Gallagher said "I'll play a few acoustic sets in your gigs to support you when you go on tour."
60 people turned up that night. I wasn't one of them.
