    want to tour Canada and the N.E. coast of USA...

    no regrets - they seem pointless to me, why dwell on something youve done wrong, or something youve missed out on

    One thing i really want to do before i die is go on a safari in Kenya, the missus is doing it in July this year! <green with envy>

    One thing i will always regret doing... What BroadbandPlacey said.

    The one thing i will always regret NOT doing, is not buying tickets to "From Russia, With Love" at the MEN arena, very passionate about my music But im also VERY skint.

    One thing I want to do? Outside of normal life-long ambitions, go travelling again, probably to Australia.

    Regret - Going to university. Wasnt ready mentally. Going back a second time was a worse idea mind.

    One thing I'll never regret - declaring bankruptcy, strangely. The amount of stress you get put under, I should have probably done it earlier. Obviously not the thing most people would think as non-regrettable, but when you're in the situation I was in... no-brainer really.

    2) 'Swinging' with my now ex wife & getting filmed on a few occasions.

    3) Getting more tattoo's as the wife doesn't actually like them/Not knowing what the hell I wanted to do whilst at school. Maybe I could have had a different career.

    Nothing I could put here

    Having said that, being happy and seeing your family happy counts far more than any travelling or material wealth.

    If I had my time again I would love to have been able to do some "base jumping".

    Regrets?....mmmmm.....now how does the song go?

    Regrets, I have a few, but then again, too few to mention.....

    Trouble is that if I had done any of the things that I feel I should have done (study more at school, go to Uni when I had the chance, learn a musical instrument, study for accountancy qualifications...yada yada) then I would not be where I am now with my family.

    Basically.....I did it MY way

    OK: The one thing I really wanna do before I die: Own a little cottage to escape too. and actually escape to it a lot.

    The one thing I will always regret doing? Urinating in my Mum's slippers while she was wearing them, while so drunk I couldnt even sit upright. and vomitting all night. All night. My parents were mortified.

    Always regret not doing: learning to be an independent traveler at an earlier age...it has effected me all my life. I cannot simply "travel" somewhere, except by car....it stresses me beyond comprehension. Its indescribable. And yet once I've done it once, to a place by plane or train or whatever, I'm happy and content as possible. Hard to describe. But the first time....ohhh....feel ill right now.

    Letting my first real g/f keep tabs on me for about 8 months after she split up with me, kept running back to her for some reason, made my life hell tbh and it destroyed any confidence I had with anything female until very recently and consequently made me feel like the biggest idiot in the world.

    I regret Not knuckling down and sorting out my college work last year, was still wading in my own self pity from question 2 and ended up failing when I could have passed had I put a bit of effort in, this has resulted in me staying on for a third year, loosing many of my friends to uni/full time work/marriages and tbh I'm considering packing it in and giving up entirely atm.
