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?

frankspencerAll very true mate. I just wish I'd listened when my favourite uncle said: "Che, if you forget everything else I've ever told you, don't forget this..."
...Damn! I wish I'd been listening.
Funny really, I don't regret mucking up my A Levels, wasting a couple of years bumming around, taking a disasterous catering course, even (sob) losing the Girl of my Dreams [see 'I was a perv, but didn't know it], getting new love preggers at 23, marrying at 24, ditching safe job to re-train leading to 20 years of near poverty....
...what I do regret - but can no longer avoid for now - is working for a soul-less organisation that cares not a jot for me just so that I can pay a mortgage and a load of other bills. Still, fingers crossed, I may still be made redundant; sometimes you need that push.
[by the way, I got myself registered on a French Friends Reunited site - Copains D'avant - and sent an e-card to the old GomD. No regrets there, and no regrets that she has ignored it either. He shoots, he misses.]
