If you could have your life all over again...

I would not have moved to Preston, Lancashire.

Self-explanatory really.

A more useful question would be... Imagine yourself 30 years from now. What things would you have wanted to have done that you haven't already? Then do them. Even if it means metallic eyeliner for Xeno.

Je ne regret rien

If ... I could have back all the money I spent on wine women and song ; I would spend it on - wine women and song.


Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien
Non, Rien De Rien, Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien
Ni Le Bien Qu'on M'a Fait, Ni Le Mal
Tout Ca M'est Bien Egal

Avec Mes Souvenirs J'ai Allume Le Feu
Mes Shagrins, Mes Plaisirs,

Je Reparas A Zero
Non, Rien De Rien, Non,
Je Ne Regrette Rien

Tout Ca M'est Bien Egal
Aujourd'hui Ca Commence Avec Toi

That's something you should be doing all the time. Faced with a choice, imagine yourself sitting in the rocking-chair at 80: which choice wrenches your gut that you didn't take it? That's the one.

I don't have many regrets about things or places. People, yes. Erma Bombeck said "I would have cried and laughed less while watching television and more while watching life", which is a good start. And I would have spent more time with my mum and dad while I still could.

I'd do almost everything differently but I'm not bitter about the way things worked out.

I'd have had kids before this year if it had been soley my choice, but I lost out to others' faliure to stick to the Gantt chart on that one.

I'd have paid less attention to my bossy Mum going on and on and on about qualifications - it's a curse being able to do exams but not being at all interested in them.

I'd have been nicer to my Dad before he bought it if I'd known how little time we had.

There are a couple of hearts I shouldn't have broken but mostly things didn't work out too bad.

Once you go black, you never go back.

I would have learnt .net

I would have leant .net

Maybe you could brush up on your spelling too.

I'd set off for work 5 minutes earlier, yesterday, as the bus was unusually early. It's this sort of thing that can ruin one's life.
