Any regrets in life or...

**victor meldrew** · September 15th, 2010, 06:46 AM

if you had your time over, would you change anything.

Two for me I would have refused my first cigarette rather than waiting thirty years to kick the habit and secondly made the effort to see the Doors Live.

^^^^

I second the smoking thing and also regret that I never got involved actively in music - like learn play the bass or something.

I wish I'd married Jennifer Cooke instead...

Yeah, I've had a few, but then again, too few to mention.

comeon93 · September 15th, 2010, 01:37 PM

None. Even my mistakes got me where I am today which is a pretty good place.

Regret NOT meeting my present missus 30 years ago.
Regret NOT being Linda Lusardi's Personal Dresser.
Regret NOT joining VPF before I did.
Regret NOT watching Nottingham Forest win the Premiership.
Regret NOT getting injured when I was younger (so I could help Nottingham Forest win the Premiership) ... well, I'm no worse than they have now?

My biggest REGRET (I think?) is seeing the overall standards and morality of people go so sadly 'downhill'.

Still, that's enough regrets ... we only live once ... let's see what happens?

Salut!

I regret not doing enough things to regret.

**billybunter** · September 15th, 2010, 07:10 PM

Regrets, I've had a few...nah, I enjoyed every cig and drug I took. My band might have got a record deal, but rock was passe when boy george and wham! were in the charts.
I do regret a few relationships that I fucked up. But that's about it.

**tobe2165** · September 15th, 2010, 09:30 PM

Lots of it...like not keeping my bigmouth shut,friends and girlfriends... but,screw it!...the only one I care was taking too long to start playing my guitar...and,again,screw it!
Now I´m playing and it feels good

Bad habits? Don´t regret a single one!

Another one here who regrets not learning to play the guitar or drums.

Keeping my mouth shut at work and learning to brown nose so I keep my job and get promotion.

Taking the chances when I was younger so that now I would be in a financial position to retire and tell the man to go and stick it.

Working smarter and not harder.

Taking more time to be with friends.

Getting drunk more with mates

Perhaps making love to some other girls before I met mrs db

I do not regret for one second the following

1. wearing down the resolve of the future mrs db so she would marry me

2. having two great if oddly disturbed kids

3. making many friends for a short time as I travlled the road by always looking to the other persons point of view, helping where I was able and trying to leave a situation in a better state than how I found it.
