My Greatest RegretsWhen I was still quite young, I was offered the chance to spend several weeks in the South of France. My Uncle was going to drive me down in his vintage MG sports car. There would be sun, sand and, crucially, French girls.
I was too scared of the French girls to go.
What do you regret not doing?

Not so much a story, as a list.Of my non-acheivments in my short 19 years.
(Not in any specific order)
1) I regret nicking that car as a yoof of 14.
2) I regret cocking about for my 2 GCSE years and not fulfilling my potential. Got 6 GCSEs in subjects I never wanted to take in the first place.
3) I regret the stupid amounts of "hard" drugs I took, as well as handing some over to a clear-veined, wide-eyed innocent chap.
4) I regret turning down the chances of success at nearly every turn due to a fear of failure.
5) Obligatory not having said yes to a girl, blah blah
6) I regret not having a better relationship with my mother. I've seen her once in 3 years and the last thing I said to her was "Fuck off out of my life and stay there" She lives in Spain, I live in Scotland.
7) I regret not having the CAHONIES to ask out this particular lovely lady who appaerntly has a thing for me. Again, this is an abject fear of failure on my part. Doesnt matter if she is a dead cert or not, I cant do it.
8) I regret not finishing college back down south in Kingston.
9) I regret not getting around to finishing off assorted musical projects, and the bad terms that I'm on with most of my former band-mates.
10) I regret nearly everything I do when I'm drunk. I'm a pain in the arse and twice as lippy as when I'm sober.
11) I regret the fact that I'm now in a dead end job with zero prospects and zero chance of promotion. I put this down to a lack of qualifications on my part.
I think thats it for now.
I wish for no sympathy, or nuffin. Just accept my length, no questions asked.
