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?

Unfortunately probably subject to change......but the greatest so far has been telling my partner I didn't want to have a child out of fear of the resposibility. The subsequent crumbling of a relationship and a good part of my sanity with it. Falling back in to a pattern of depression and alcoholism, which the woman in question had worked very hard to coax me out of. Not realising what I was offered until it was gone and being too stupid to see the hurt I caused, or even that I was rejecting her.
Probably a lucky break for the theoretical offspring though.
Can't think of a way of putting a funny spin on it. Perhaps you can laugh at how much I deserve the position in which I find myself, miserable and having taken a four year step backward.
