Here's mine:

Ever marrying the first wife
Not learning to drive when i really needed to
Doing my apprenticeship in Cabinet making instead of Engineering
Wasting such an incredible amount of money on hifi over the years (Easily over the cost of a semi-detached up here)
Not moving abroad to live when i first wanted to
Not taking any serious chances in life

Not having enough time to spend with my friends... this is my only regret. :(

I don't do regrets. The choices I made at the time can only be bettered with hindsight, and you don't get that luxury until the present is the past!

My philosophy on life is "Change the things you can change, don't worry about the things you can't." It works for me. :)

Not being able or willing to study more in my youth.

Not understanding people's motives better - hidden agenda's, that kind of thing.

I regret not seeing the rut I fell into for so many years.

I regret the move from Luton to East Northants eleven years ago - so much started to go wrong from that point :(

I wish I'd taken more risks in my 20's, when it didn't matter so much. Having a family and responsibilities for others sure puts the kibosh on being young and foolish!

Edit - Nowt to do with the post above I have to add!

I am reminded again of the Peter Cook/Dudley Moore dialogue:

Dud: 'And have you learned anything from your mistakes?'

Pete: 'Yes; I'm sure I could repeat them all perfectly'.

There's no regrets
No tears, goodbye
I don't want you back
We'd only cryyyyy again
Say goodbye again

(Actually, I might have to go and look that track out......)

I have loads of regrets.

Looking back, the most striking thing about most of my bad decisions is how obviously stupid they were, even based on what I knew then.

All this talk of 20/20 hindsight doesn't apply to me - I was young and stupid then and I'm old and stupid now.

So yeah, my biggest regret is my stupidity I suppose.

Doh!
