No Regrets for me, if you're happy in your life at this moment, anything that could of knocked you off that path leading to where you are, you might not be where you are now.
However, Ibiza 2011, turned down going back to an apartment with 2 absolute worldies, cause I was off my box, and wanted go find my mates. So to the above paragraph, more of a wish had done than a regret.
So Sammi and Jo of your reading this, does the offer still stand? I've aged terribly, balding, wrinkles and about 3 stone overweight. Call me.

So to the above paragraph, more of a wish had done than a regret. So Sammi and Jo of your reading this, does the offer still stand? I've aged terribly, balding, wrinkles and about 3 stone overweight. Call me. Similar to me it's like the butterfly effect if changed anything wouldn't be where I am today generally contented. However, I had a similar experience in Greece on a lads holiday where there was 4 lasses from Bristol at our hotel and my mates were trying fire in 3 of them as absolutely stunning with great tits - one was a big fatty and knowing that'd be the one I was assigned sat on the periphery well out of it reading my books. About half way through the holiday one of the lads decides put a couple of viagras in my Irn Bru and everyone gets a laugh but nowts happening. Then the fittest one flashes her tits right in my face and I'm up like a fucking lighthouse and the bastarding thing won't go down. About three hours into the night out I'm sick of it, my head's banging and my dick is throbbing like fuck so instead of walking round looking like a raging pervert jump in a taxi back. However, the fittest one jumps in with me and we're going back to the hotel and think my luck is in as we go to her room - unfortunately she's sharing a room with the fatty and she comes back five minutes later and completely cock blocks me crying and all sorts. The fit one goes out onto the balcony raging but instead of following her out to give a massive pent up frustration shag I pretend to fall asleep on the pool inflatable as I'm terrified I've been set-up to shag the fat one. Couldn't sleep, couldn't have a wank, couldn't go back to my room as would get the piss ripped right out of me so just lay there like a right twat until the morning in the ridiculous hope something may happen. If I had a time machine that's where I'd go - tap myself on the shoulder and say 'Get out on that balcony you massive pussy!' then I'd go see some dinosaurs.

Not really.
Made my first million by the time I was 14, have dated Linda Evangelista and Kate Moss, and played for Real Madrid a few times.
Most of my novels have been successful, as have my West End and Broadway shows and really enjoyed my time at F1.
I was however gutted to miss the Eastenders episode when Den divorced Angie because I was summitting feckin' Everest at the time.

My biggest music one is not going to see one of my favourite bands, Yes, play just down the road from me because I was in a mood and sulkily decided it would be a bit cringe because they were all old. Then Chris Squire, one of my favourite bass players, died a few months later. Idiot.
edit that's me that's the idiot. Not Chris Squire for dying

Not seeing Prince in Manchester.
Not going to Cardiff away in the play off semis.
Not getting out of Stoke when I was younger.
Getting a degree instead of starting off with an apprenticeship, or not doing an apprenticeship after I finished my degree.
Being too bothered about SCFC when I was younger.
Giving to much of a fuck what other people thought for far too long.
Working in the third sector for too long. Being taken advantage by directors, execs etc lining their pockets.
Being risk averse regarding money and property.

Not giving my missus a second chance when she did the dirty on me years ago….. the only lady I ever truly truly loved…. Still think about her every day. Oh well…. It's an interesting one this I learned a long time ago never to get involved or offer opinions when friends were having "difficulties" but some years back a good friend asked me to meet up with him and proceeded to go off on the fact that he'd come home deliberately early to find his wife in bed with one of their "friends". He kicked off about how wronged he was and she'd done this on him etc, etc and there was no going back. As they were to my mind the most lovely and suited couple I was fortunate to remember many years back when I first met him that he'd confessed to me about a dalliance with some hot bird in the office. treading very carefully I reminded him of this event and then told him that he was married to one of the loveliest women I'd ever met and perhaps there was something going wrong in their marriage to get to this point which probably involved both of them. Anyway they stayed together happily ever after until she passed away some years back. So a long winded answer but his second chance rewarded him with years of bliss.

I don't think so, yet. I've done the general daft shit as a youngster but nothing I really regret! I did meet a bird in Ibiza whilst in a relationship and got back home and split up with the missus. That felt stupid a few weeks later when the new bird pied me off but was the right thing looking back. We'd both been unfaithful and we were clearly just living in a relationship than actually being in a meaningful one.
At the moment I'm in a predicament with work. Been where I am for 15 years and know it inside out but I'm so fucking bored. Finding something else is proving difficult but I know I need to get out, and don't want to regret anything further down the line! On the other hand it's a job and it's paying me fine for what I do. Love the thought of a complete career change but can't see it happening.
Actually, just remembered more to the first paragraph. On the same holiday I took a credit card with me even though I didn't really need to and had never used one before. Anyway I took it out one night, went to a strip club and got spiked, resulting in me sat in a booth for four hours with the biggest stonk on getting plied with alcohol. £2,000 that night cost and years of debt on a credit card! Barclays even rang my mum asking for me as they couldn't get in touch! I could have said it wasn't me but I didn't want to get in trouble for lying so I took it like a fucking moron. Still gets spoken about today with the lads so even if I do regret it, it was a life experience.

Spending too much money on clothes and drink when I was younger. The worst being 180 pounds on a John Paul Gaultier jacket back in the late 90s.
Meeting a girl in Blackpool many years ago who wanted me to go travelling with her when I was in a dead end job.
Not having any confidence in my earlies 20s and not putting myself forwards more.
All regrets but I’m happy now and have been most my life. That’s why it’s better to not think to much about regrets.

Not going to Ninian Park for the second leg because I was in the middle of my GCSEs and my dad said no. Had a feeling something would happen and I’d been to 90% of games that season. Should’ve just gone anyway and been grounded for the final. Had my mate telling me all about the mental on the walk to school the morning after.

It was a good time in terms of certain things, but when I think back, I could have done so much more with it. Even stuff like playing football. I played loads and even won stuff at a decent enough level, but I never really had any confidence with it, then when I started playing again a few years ago at 30 after a couple of years off, I didn't give a shit (in a good way) and I enjoyed it miles more. I never properly enjoyed playing as I worried too much what people thought and I was proper quiet and shy. I wish I'd told a few more people to fuck off and been more ruthless. I think I could have played at a decent non-league level if I'd been like how I am now back then. But, you are what you are and life is what it is.

I would have loved to have been in San Francisco during march 1968 and witnessed cream playing at the Fillmore and the winterland venues. I saw Eric at the Royal Albert Hall.....he was brilliant, but funnily enough I was not a great Cream fan.... mind you, you are right....San Francisco in 1968...wow I know here I go again but I cannot stand Clapton for a few reasons,one of them is that the Rock against Racism festivals/carnivals in the 80s were directly started up as a protest against Clapton and others.Clapton in particular this and I quote "when Eric Clapton made a declaration of support for former Conservative minister Enoch Powell (known for his anti-immigration Rivers of Blood speech) at a concert in Birmingham Clapton told the crowd that England had "become overcrowded" and that they should vote for Powell to stop Britain from becoming "a black colony". He also told the audience that Britain should "get the foreigners out, get the wogs out, get the coons out", and then he repeatedly shouted the National Front slogan "Keep Britain White" This is the man who made his millions playing black music.Disguting creature.

A few things I might do differently, but no regrets really as the road has led me to where I am now and it's not too bad. I wish I'd seen Joni Mitchell and The Band (not necessarily CSNY) but my parents wouldn't let me go down to Wembley that year and the same for Knebworth the same year (1974).
