If you could turn back your clock where would it be too?

Last Saturday.

I had a great time at the Farnborough Modelfest

Like a few others on here, I've made a few really bad decisions but I don't think I'd change any of them.

I had a ticklist of things I wanted to do and knew I'd regret if I didn't (for example, going to university). It wasn't a massively ambitious list, but I've ticked off everything on it.

Also, there are a lot of poor sods who are a lot worse off than me like an acquaintance who came off a bucking bronco in Portugal a month ago and has now lost the use of his left arm and legs due to a spinal fracture, and I've reached an age (early forties) where some of the people I went to school with have passed away due to cancer or something equally awful which does put a lot of things into perspective.

I'm happy with my lot and where I am.

Proposal?

back to when I was 21 when I was getting a mountain of sex from muliple women.

Oh I miss those days

Final one would be deciding to move in with my girlfriend (who's now my wife!), as I said it is what it is but if I could do it all over again I think I'd take the other path

Thanks for your replies earlier in this thread everyone - just struggling a bit at the moment for a few reasons, I can always rely on this forum to cheer me up though!

(I was cheered up the other day by re-reading the "Strange neighbour problems...Cameras" thread from years ago - go and search it out if you've not seen it already. It's like a modern Tom Sharpe novel and always makes me laugh!)

Just to clarify, that's staying single, not finding a boyfriend

Dunno, that might be the perfectly happy life you'll now never know could have been for you…

Beautiful. Just fking beautiful.

(We have a shed in our garden that will have to come down soon but it's too close to the neighbours' fences and trees to do that - although given the state of the thing I think with a couple of hard kicks it will fall down anyway!)

June 1982, to see if I could persuade my dad not to kill himself.

Probably to around summer 2002 just after GCSE results and have a proper think about things. Either take the apprenticeship offered by Honda, but then again I'd still be spannering on cars, but closer to home and no one seems to leave that dealership so they must be doing something right, right?
Or knuckle down and actually try at A levels instead of flaking out after a year as I'd always ruled university out as I came from a family that didn't have a penny to rub together and the thought of getting into a load of debt before I'd even earnt anything boggled my mind. Although looking back on how excessive my drinking was from the ages of 17-23 when I was on apprentice wages and paying normal prices rather than student union prices for beer, I'd have probably drank myself into oblivion anyway.
