Tielemans63 Posted 5 September 2012 Posted 5 September 2012 Have you reached your 30's yet? They were my best years... Crouchy on the Atkins!! lol I'm 31 pal but been married for 2 years, so as you'd imagine, sex is just a distant memory now! I wish you'd told me that 3 years ago!
Guest Col city fan Posted 5 September 2012 Posted 5 September 2012 It's prob for that reason you were better off not going mate. Absolutely... I didn't think that at the time though mate.. I was gutted.. It was pretty much the same though at Durham (where I finally went).. The lad I shared with in the first year was the son of the British Ambassador to India! He'd 'come up from Eton'! Lovely bloke actually. I'm 31 pal but been married for 2 years, so as you'd imagine, sex is just a distant memory now! I wish you'd told me that 3 years ago! Ah... Game over then Paddy...

Lovely bloke actually. Ah... Game over then Paddy... Too right. I've got balls like space hoppers but in all seriousness she is a good girl! PS I had a similar experience at Uni actually. I went to Leeds Uni and as the son of a mechanic and a dinner lady (my dad was the mechanic btw) and felt quite out of my depth. One of my flat-mates came out of Eton too and used to roll around the halls of residence in a convertible BMW. Another was the nephew of the Indian prime minister. I remember them coming back to my Mum and Dad's 3 bed semi in Western Park for a night out in Lestoh and I don't think they could quite believe the hardship and abject poverty they saw I'd love to say I outperformed them all when it came down to academia but I really didn't!
Leicester_Loyal Posted 5 September 2012 Posted 5 September 2012 No regrets in life, never look back, just focus on the future and make something of yourself. Leave a lasting legacy to be proud of

I'd love to say I outperformed them all when it came down to academia but I really didn't! I felt the same for the first few months mate. The College I was at (Durham is a Collegiate Uni) had something called a 'Gentlemans club'. Quite literally you could only become a member if you, in your own right either had a certain sum of savings OR owned a certain acreage of land!! The members would then get gowned up, once a month, and parade themselves at the most expensive establishments in Durham! A lot of the students rolled up in their Golf GTI's or Beetles, whereas I used to drive a Mark 2 Escort!! Where I was ok was because I was captain of the College football team... That was my way of being accepted, so to speak. Magic days, never forgotten to be fair.
THEFATBASTARD Posted 5 September 2012 Posted 5 September 2012 You Split up with steve_Walsh's first girlfriend? Was that before or after him? That is just amazing, I mean ....amazing. As for me well everything and nothing, I have made so many decisions in my life that could have been wrong, some more likely to be wrong than others, my ultimate/overall regret is I have not done more with my life, and yet I have done so much more than the majority of other people. I'm still youngish though and looking forward to making plenty more bad decisions. Hindsight is a bitch and it is best not to look backwards, if you are happy with where you are then you shouldn't regret anything that happened on the journey. If you're not, then what the fvck are you doing, do something about it. don't know. she went through a few.. I had the crabs to prove it. Anybody who claims they never regret anything is either a liar or a fool.
Guest MattP Posted 5 September 2012 Posted 5 September 2012 Too many. Not going to South America when I had the chance, only continent I've not been too and wondering if I'll get the chance again now with work commitments. Not taking cricket more seriously, was a damn fine player at 12-13 in Leicestershire ranks, was never any money in it so was discouraged. If I'd known how much they would be on now and IPL etc would have. Like others have said, breaking up first girlfriend. Think she was the one, never met anyone like her since. Selling a signed original fight poster of Dempsey and Tunney when I needed some cash, no idea what it's worth at auction but im sure will be twenty times what I gave it away for now.
Captain... Posted 5 September 2012 Posted 5 September 2012 don't know. she went through a few.. I had the crabs to prove it. Anybody who claims they never regret anything is either a liar or a fool. I don't know if that is aimed at me, but I think people that say they don't regret anything normally mean what I said. I regret hundreds of decisions I made at some point in my life, it is not a proper hangover if I don't seriously regret something. ...but I don't dwell on these things, I don't live with these regrets and worry about them, I don't beat myself up over these things, unless I'm in a very maudlin mood.

No, not aimed at anybody in particular...just my honest opinion.. your lucky then..some people make decisions that totally effect the rest of their lives... they can't put it behind them cos they live with the outcome everyday..

That sounds like you are talking about heavy shit, you are right I have no regrets in my life that are so big I can't put them behind me and get on with my life.
LcFc_Smiv Posted 6 September 2012 Posted 6 September 2012 It was just a lot more difficult post-Uni! Especially for a bloke who looks like Peter Crouch on the Atkins diet. Uni girls seem to have lower standards than anyone else! Don't say that, I thought I was doing well to punch above my weight as far as regrets go, when I was with my first girlfriend I became friends with a girl who had just moved to my village, she didn't know anyone and was quite shy, for some reason she opened up to me more than anyone. Spent lots of time with her, she asked me to leave my girlfriend as she said she could see I wasn't happy, things were shit, I told her I couldn't do that and it ruined anything special there was. My relationship was awful and by the time it was over I had worked my way to being 'the friend', we work with each other when we're back from uni, she's got a boyfriend who things are serious with and I'm just a typical lad at uni. Obviously lots of time for me to meet someone, but at the moment that's the kicker!
ozleicester Posted 6 September 2012 Posted 6 September 2012 No Regrets. Its true and whilst some may suggest you cant live without them, they are wrong, ive made a million decisions that didnt turn out how i expected, BUT, its how you react and look back on them as to whether you have regrets. There are some easy platitudes "every cloud has a silver lining" etc that people trot out and some try to hide behind... But, if you stop and look and think... then every decision right or wrong is what has brought you to this point in your life, i guess if you arent happy with where you are, its easy to find things to regret. Every single decision and experience bring benefits with it... if you choose to see the positive then you really dont have any regrets.
MikeyT Posted 6 September 2012 Posted 6 September 2012 Can't you go back now? Or are those financial reasons still around? Financial issues still around mate. Plus I'm 32 now, so feel a bit too old.
foxfanazer Posted 6 September 2012 Posted 6 September 2012 Getting married! I had 21 long happy years...... Then I met her.... Haha fools and horses quote there
Guest Col city fan Posted 6 September 2012 Posted 6 September 2012 Haha fools and horses quote there Possibly one of the funniest bits of comedy I've ever seen... 'You're cramping my style mate..'
foxfanazer Posted 6 September 2012 Posted 6 September 2012 Possibly one of the funniest bits of comedy I've ever seen... 'You're cramping my style mate..' How do you spell Arrods?
Guest Col city fan Posted 6 September 2012 Posted 6 September 2012 How do you spell Arrods? "Capital A"...
Parafox Posted 6 September 2012 Posted 6 September 2012 This is true... At 14 yrs old I didn't follow up on an invite for goalkeeping trials for LCFC. My dad said I should "see how school went first". Probably wouldn't have got in, but I will never know for sure.
Parafox Posted 6 September 2012 Posted 6 September 2012 On a serious note, my major regret, academically, was not getting into Cambridge (and the following year, Oxford). I had the grades but flunked both interviews. Don't think it helped though that my dad was a Driving Instructor and my mum worked in a green grocers.. As opposed to a blue or brown grocers? Like many other posters, I also regret allowing my first (and only) TRUE love to walk away. I still think about her regularly now some 30 years later... I was so cut up, I even wrote to Dear Dierdre, in The Sun. I'm married and have been for 26 years but I will never have the same feelings as I did back then.
GLC Posted 6 September 2012 Posted 6 September 2012 Not making the move on my best mate (she's a women) 8 years ago when she was in to me, don't think I've ever felt that way about someone before or ever will! It's been 8 long year! Especially now she's dating my other best mate.......

It's been 8 long year! Especially now she's dating my other best mate....... I think this is the point that me ad Oz were trying to make, if you hadn't let yourself get so hung up over her you probably would have been smashing your way through a string of girls in that time, making her jealous as fvck in the process and wanting you more, whereas if you have been a moping whiny little boy about it, clinging to her and pining after her, she is not going to want anything to do with you romantically. I am just guessing here, mainly based on me being an absolute pussy for a couple of years over this girl, then I went to Uni and realised there were plenty of hot girls out there to get pathetically obsessed about, and even more to just take home and have a night of fun with.
Reynard Bleu Posted 6 September 2012 Posted 6 September 2012 Shed loads of regrets, hindsight is a wonderful gift.
