Take yourself back to the late 1980's
In my late 20's I was working as an engineer in a city 30 miles from home, commuting and working a 7 days out of 14 shift pattern. I hated every bit of the travelling and the company that I worked for seemed to be totally against giving me any one of the numerous jobs I'd applied for at the local office. Then things changed, the bosses decided that engineers were to be a thing of the past and that technical operatives were to be the future. Into my department walked the delightful Wanda, pretty, slim, with stunning red hair and not long out of school - far too young for even a late 20's BoredWitless.

So what did I do, dear reader. Yes, absolutely f**k-all, and in early 1990 I finally got the job in my home town - I was now commuting less in a week than I'd done in a day previously. Life was good, and I finished up with a wonderful daughter (who is now the same age that Wanda was then) and a vindictive, manipulative ex-wife (but that's another story entirely).

I still wonder how it would have turned out had I not been such a pillock back in the late 80's - she was without doubt stunning (and probably still is), just lately I've taken to thinking how it might have turned out if I hadn't been so set in my ideas (for a young man).

I now wholeheartedly subscribe to the idea that you should never regret the things that you did, but only the things that you didn't - something that I've learned the hard way.....

All this says is 'didn't pork fit woman'
The only thing about this woman you have described is her looks. You seem pretty damn shallow to me.

what else is there for him to describe about her?

She would have either turned you down or cheated on you.
Taking that risk generally means ending up being fucked over.
I recently took a risk for love and now wish I'd have stayed single, drunk and employed.
Don't let lucky people fool you into thinkg that life is anything other than dull for most people.

If thngs are OK don't fuck it up.
It's like the old " If it aint broke don't fix it".
Taking a gamble is all well and good if you win -- otherwise you're just faced with years of clawing back what solice you did have.
