» Biggest Sexual Regret
Take yourself back to the late 1980's
In my late 20's I was working as an engineer in a city 30 miles from home, commuting and working a 7 days out of 14 shift pattern. I hated every bit of the travelling and the company that I worked for seemed to be totally against giving me any one of the numerous jobs I'd applied for at the local office. Then things changed, the bosses decided that engineers were to be a thing of the past and that technical operatives were to be the future. Into my department walked the delightful Wanda, pretty, slim, with stunning red hair and not long out of school - far too young for even a late 20's BoredWitless.
So what did I do, dear reader. Yes, absolutely f**k-all, and in early 1990 I finally got the job in my home town - I was now commuting less in a week than I'd done in a day previously. Life was good, and I finished up with a wonderful daughter (who is now the same age that Wanda was then) and a vindictive, manipulative ex-wife (but that's another story entirely).
I still wonder how it would have turned out had I not been such a pillock back in the late 80's - she was without doubt stunning (and probably still is), just lately I've taken to thinking how it might have turned out if I hadn't been so set in my ideas (for a young man).
I now wholeheartedly subscribe to the idea that you should never regret the things that you did, but only the things that you didn't - something that I've learned the hard way.....

» I didn't do it
I definitely did NOT
Tell the gag about the vasectomy, the careless nurse and the pickled onions in a bar full of people in Evesham, in 1982.
It also transpires that the bar didn't go completely quiet, nor that the pub manager's non-existent difficulty walking was not caused by him not having had a vasectomy the day before
