Yes
We all have them, big or small.

One of my life regrets was: In August 1979 Led Zeppelin played at Knebworth. I had a ticket and could'nt wait for the day. A friend of mine called around and suggested we go for a weekend fishing in Mid Wales, the very same weekend the Knebworth gig was on. I remember telling him that I wanted to go to see Zeppelin, to which he answered "we'll go next year, they are bound to tour again soon"......... I agreed to go fishin......... John Bonham died shortly afterwards. I still have my ticket.

Difficult one. I was watching the latest programme about the Royal Navy the other night and I wondered what would have happened to my life if I had stayed in. The answer is it would have been so different to the one I have now, there is no point in having regrets about it.

Strange, I actually went to Knebworth to see Genesis, but never saw them as I spent my weekend in a tent under the influence of alcohol and weed. Taught me to never touch weed or any other drug so I have no regrets about that.

The only thing I do really regret is not getting my father in laws funeral videoed. There were many people there that meant a lot to my FIL (Like, Derek Ongaro (Formula one starter and member of the FIA commission in the 80's, amongst other things)) and it would have been good if my daughter could have seen it.
 
only regret I have is having to sell my yacht to get back on my feet when a bitch with big tits ripped me off for 50k , but that's a long time ago now
 
I wished I'd been closer to my Mum and visited her more after she moved away to deepest Kent. I should have been in touch more before she died.
As the advert says
"when they're gone they're gone"

Not related but maybe thinking more before acting or speaking would have been a good idea too.

I went to that one, the gig SkyTV televised? I will admit to smoking some herbs and drinking a few tinnies but not the extent that I missed any of it!!
 
Picking up a camera,
I feel, I will always be skint from that day forward.

Or on a different note, I’m a diehard Liverpool fan got offered two tickets, the tickets were for the 2005 champions league final, at 1k each, we decided against It.

Turn the clock back and I sell everything to of been at that game.
 
Here's an interesting bit of advice someone offered me many years ago. I was struck by the brutal simplicity of it.

The most useless and unhelpful phrase in the english language is "should have".

If you ever find yourself saying or thinking "should have" ... stop. Back up and start down a different track. "Should have" never leads anywhere good.

Big tits though so not all bad :D

I really regret not spending more time with my mum , I saw her almost every day but if i'd known she was going to die at 49 I'd have done more things with her and taken a lot more pictures of her than I did

But Specsavers liked the phrase, and probably helped them sell loads of specs. :p
 
I was just thinking this morning, I wished I had of taken a lot more photos in the 80s. There was so much happening, and there was so much interesting things to capture.
 
Best bit of advice I was ever given: no point in regretting things if you can’t change them.
 
My one regret in life is that I didn't attend an interview I was offered by the BBC back in 1985 for an apprentice audio/video position. I had started a new job a few days earlier and have never been the sort of person who could pretend to be ill or make up some other excuse.

Biggest regret is not spending more time with my son
Its to late now he died six years
Kids can be a pain at times but as the saying goes you don't know what you had until it's gone.

:O I hope you at least got to blubber over them a bit beforehand

For me, it is definitely a woman related regret too, the 6yrs I wasted on one in particular when I should have been out sewing the seed wide and far. But, then, my path would have been very different and I wouldn't have ended up with the woman I still love very much today, as it was that ex drove me to seek out someone not from my home town!

True, at times there are lots of things i regret, but had I done or not done those things then I wouldn't be where I am now with 2 great kids! Almost 2 years ago I lost my job a week before Christmas. Awful feeling, but now have a great job, best I have ever had with a great company!
