If you were on your deathbed today, would you have (m)any regrets? We might have done this before on another thread, but what the hell. You only live once... Title: Re: Je Ne Regrette Rien Post by: The Camel on June 19, 2013, 04:45:50 PM I wish I had more on that 50/1 winner of the Hunt Cup.

It's the posters that make it depressing ;) Title: Re: Je Ne Regrette Rien Post by: Karabiner on June 19, 2013, 06:52:16 PM I wish I hadn't traded in that old magic lamp for a new one.
Title: Re: Je Ne Regrette Rien Post by: Ironside on June 19, 2013, 09:01:54 PM only regret i have is not entering politics so i could help people less fortunate Politicians don't help the less fortunate. i know but they would of if i became one infact they are the only people that can make a real difference to more than just a handfull but spend the whole time lining there own pockets Title: Re: Je Ne Regrette Rien Post by: leethefish on June 19, 2013, 09:02:43 PM no particular order
1, I regret spending three years in Germany and not even attempting to learn the language ! 2, I regret not buying the terrace next to ours 13 or 14 years ago when it came up for sale and we decided 30k was too much! 3, I regret not spending as much time with my kids as i could of done. 4, I regret having a cup of tea they day my gran died and i missed her by 5 minutes. 5, I regret not keeping my weight off when i lost it after 3 peaks a couple of years ago Title: Re: Je Ne Regrette Rien Post by: Graham C on June 19, 2013, 09:43:04 PM I regret not working harder at school and not going to college. I'd also like to be really good at something but have never stuck with anything for long enough. That said if I'd have done that I wouldn't have met the Mrs and have my lovely daughter which I wouldn't change for the world.
I'd still love to be really good at something, not "the best" but good enough. I'd like to play the piano, perhaps I should start. Title: Re: Je Ne Regrette Rien Post by: AdamM on June 20, 2013, 07:54:12 AM Wish I'd tried a lot harder to be a rock star. That would include being ruthless with personell in bands I was in, not carrying any dead weight, playing much further afield, not worrying about making money from gigs and demo sales, and probably slinging my guitar on my back and moving to London.
Wish I hadn't cut my hair off to work in a bank. Wish I didn't sell my Marshall JCM2000 TSL and two 4x12 cabs I shouldn't have parked down that side street. I regret wasting half my time as a martial artist on clubs more interested in the colour of your belt and the colour of your money, than how hard you actually fight. Wish I'd told 'her' how I felt about her and 'her' and 'her' and I'd should have stayed away from 'her' and not got caught doing 'that' Title: Re: Je Ne Regrette Rien Post by: Eso Kral on June 20, 2013, 09:41:45 AM Wish I was a little bit taller..
Title: Re: Je Ne Regrette Rien Post by: rfgqqabc on June 20, 2013, 10:20:04 AM Wish I was a little bit taller.. Wish I listened to that song more. I regret a comment I made to a girl aged 14/15, I called her a prepubescent boy. I regret not learning a language in school, I just pissed about with everyone else. About it really, try not to get into the pattern of thinking about regrets. Title: Re: Je Ne Regrette Rien Post by: MintTrav on June 20, 2013, 10:28:47 AM try not to get into the pattern of thinking about regrets I often wish I didn't spend so much time regretting things. Title: Re: Je Ne Regrette Rien Post by: outragous76 on June 20, 2013, 11:05:29 AM When I left uni I worked in IT whilst trying to find a surveying job
The director of the small company I worked for, had a friend who took 10 people a year to live in china, teach them culture, language etc etc, but it was to be a really intensive experience. I was well on the way to sorting things out when I got my first job. Those skills to me now along with my surveying skills would have put me in a great spot. Not sure its a regret, but I often wonder.................. Title: Re: Je Ne Regrette Rien Post by: Claw75 on June 20, 2013, 02:31:46 PM I don't have any regrets as such because i've always made what i thought was the right decision at the time.
The only thing that comes close i suppose is giving up my good job a few years ago because it was making me ill. In hindsight, it wasn't the cause, but by the time i realised that and got better it was too late. Otherwise, i'm really happy right now and everything that's happened in the past has been part of the road here, so it's all good :) Title: Re: Je Ne Regrette Rien Post by: snoopy1239 on June 20, 2013, 04:55:07 PM I regret spending my initial poker winnings instead of investing it in property.
Title: Re: Je Ne Regrette Rien Post by: EvilPie on June 20, 2013, 05:06:15 PM I'm totally happy with where I am right now so I don't feel the need to regret anything.
One thing I maybe could've or rather should have changed was perhaps to put more effort in to keeping hold of my ex. Top bird that one. Shame I was a fool and let her leave. The grass appeared much greener on the other (single) side though so away she went. I don't necessarily regret that but I often wonder how things would have been if I'd stayed with her. |
