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?

QuantasFlying from LA to New Zealand. Fucking awful journey, takes 14 years. Sat in the middle between 2 big fat yanks who are talking over me all night. 8 hrs in and I'm ready to do anything to get off the plane. I don't care if we're over the sea. All I want to do is lie down with my legs outstretched for a few minutes. I get up and try and lie down in the bulkhead. Hostess tells me I cant do that. The. Last. Fucking. Straw. I wanted off.
The bit I regret:
Me: "If i told you I had a bomb, would you land the fucking plane."
People who overheard actually screamed. The next 6 hours were a blur. I was physically restrained by big fat yanks from earlier, the pilot came to talk to me. All the hostess were telling me off. People actually threw stuff at me. On arrival, i was escorted off the plane by - 9, yes NINE armed police. I left Auckland airport 44 hours later. How I got no charges I dont know. All I could think of was Thai prisons for some reason.
I am not allowed on Quantas ever again. Which actually suits me, cos they're the worst fucking airline on the planet (after Ryanair).
