Regrets

[chrismpw]

Not working harder to appreciate a gorgeous pe teacher who started at my work. We dated for 2 years or so. I think I blew it when she turned up at my place after work, while I was balanced on top of my Reliant Scimitar, drilling out a broken manifold stud and tapping out the thread in the rain.

On the one hand I could've stopped and paid her some attention. On the other hand she could've brought out a cuppa.

When I was doing my A levels and going to university I picked subjects I thought would be easiest to apply to jobs when I finished, rather than things I was actually interested in doing.

It made those courses a real slog and the jobs I have had I largely find tedious and boring.

….interesting. i suggested to my kids they should follow vocational degrees, is the route you pursued better financially?

Probably should have not done a lot of my uni essays on mdma or ketamine but luckily I somehow did fine hahaha

She obviously had no regrets.

Dating and shagging a Kopite season ticket holder from Birkenhead who was the double of Gerry Adams.
So wrong on so many levels. I have never got over the shame.

When i read this i thought it was a male poster talking about a female version of Gerry Adams, scary to picture.

Its hard to say. I would certainly say I was paid better initially for having a degree and it opened doors. The money I earn now is above average for the area I live in. But when it comes to my own children I will advise them to pick something they enjoy doing and studying. With people living longer, kids born now will probably have to work more than 60 years before they can retire. Its a long time to work in jobs you dont like.

….no ambition to be a footballer but signing for Liverpool is a regret given the clubs that were apparently after me. RS were first to make serious contact, turning up at my school one day and getting my Dad from work on the Docks.

I genuinely disliked 3-4 years I spent there & just stopped turning up, they weren’t bothered either. Weird training regime.

Absolutely no regrets when it comes to major relationship, vocational and financial decisions.

Who else were after you?

Geraldine Adams may have been 'transitioning'.

Share your regret mate. Made a decent living over the years, but far from doing what I love. Currently trying to help my daughter to not make the same mistake, she’s been accepted at John Moores and Salford but considering taking a job offer! Life hay..

Wish I had never started drinking at 15/16. Turned my early life into a fight against fatness which drove a wedge between me and my adolescent passion for the fairer sex. I was also a poor drunk and lost friends and relations because of it. It helped me attain diabetes at 35 and set me up nicely for 30 years of medication and diet. all for a few beers every night with the lads....

….i was told Everton called the next day and RS knew. United, Coventry, Villa (Gidman’s Dad apparently but not certain on that, he was a huge bloke), even the Tranmere manager (Russell?) spoke to me and said if I didn’t want to join one of the ‘big clubs’, he’d love to sign me. He was a nice bloke.

I had no interest and no ambition, signed for the RS but always my intention to stay on at school.

When I was second year of university I decided to end it with my girlfriend of four years because I was worried that while I was working, studying she was waiting on me and life was passing her by.

I thought I was doing this honourable, noble thing and if we were meant to be then it would come back together anyway.

It didn't, we lost touch and by sheer chance I bumped into her a few years later.

She told me I had broken her heart, she was happy, couldn't understand why I did it, assumed I had another girl etc...

Massive regret, in another life I would have had the wisdom to know if she wanted to end it she would end it.

Thanks @GrandOldTeam for giving me the chance to air all that. Where do I send the Tory biscuits?

Yadda, yadda, yadda...


Any pics?
