I had a chance to go on Concorde in one of its last flights.

Need I say any more?

Couldn't think of anything worse than going on a cruise ship....maybe that's another thread, things you would hate to do.

I never got to use my Blue Peter competition winners badge to gain free access to a museum. Now museums are pretty much all free anyway, so the value of the Blue Peter badge has diminished somewhat.

I was one of the many runners-up in their Charles & Di wedding "design a commemorative plate" competition.

Oh and I was one of the few blokes who never got to sleep with Princess Di either

I would have loved to have gone on Concorde.

My wife and I were lucky enough to have seen NY from the World Trade Centre two weeks before it went down - we got engaged in Windows on the World on 23/8/01 so it was a very special place to us

Did that too, went as it was starting to get a bit dusky, gorgeous view across the harbour out towards the Statue Of Liberty as the sun was setting, great view up-town too as everything started to light up

Recently, I had the chance to go to 10 Downing St as part of the TA100 celebrations. Turned it down because I knew I'd have to punch Gordon on the nose.

Can't believe I didn't take up that opportunity.

As with others, I also regret not flying on Concorde (been on a Concorde on the ground) and not flying in to the old HK airport.

Surely that's still an option though, even if you have to pay for it.

Or have you suffered an unfortunate accident that renders you incapable/too ugly for even paying for it to be an option...

Edited to add: Damn beaten to it by Turbo!

Ahhh the old HK airport. What a ride !!! Fabulous experince especially if in 1st or business where you could (with a few protestations from the trolly dollies) dash from one side of the plane to the other to get different views.

I never got to say happy new year at 00:00 back on Jan 1st 2000, as I was too drunk and practically passed out in a snow drift.

No, still there, my wife would probably object.

Just re read my post, the implication is that I never had a threesome with women, the other one that could be drawn, having re-read it is that I have tried the alternative, that is not case
