I haven't got the time to list all the things I'd have done differently. I haven't done anything bad as such, just wish I could go back and make more of myself, and not have made some of the mistakes I have.

Ithink whatever you have done in your past good or bad makes you the person you are now. There is plenty of things I could say I would change but then i wouldnt be where I am with the people I am

I don't regret the bad things in my life that I have done and had done to me, it's part of becoming who I am now but yeah looking back, if I had the maturity I have now earlier I am pretty sure I wouldn't have wasted so many chances.

But more recent past, I wish I had taken the offer to live and work in Australia!

I guess it depends how good or bad your life is now. One different decision could change everything, but unless you lived that life, there is no way of knowing if it would make you happier, or a better person. It's all speculation.

Up to the point I was 16 I wouldn't have changed a thing.

After that, I would have liked to party a little harder and not get so obsessed with cars and cruising about like a *****. And probably not get so drawn into getting so pissed up that I couldn't go on the pull (as in beyond beer goggles).

Still would have gone to same college, probably do different subjects though.

Would not have gone to same Unis though, and most certainly not doing the mickey mouse BEng. degree I ended up with. Probably would have gone somewhere further down south, maybe take a gap year.

Would never have gone into air conditioning. For the sake of my sanity alone. A dark period of my life, stuck on the M1 in a transit running on 2 cylinders barely able to reach 50mph, working in mundane offices, pent up petty middle managers and having to trapse across every Specsavers and Express Dairies in the whole country. Never again.

Would definetly love the opertunity to have another crack at the stunning girl at college

I'm not saying things are bad for me at the mo, financially quite rosey as a matter of fact. But I'm left paranoid in thinking that I was destined for greater things. Maybe it was the bullsh*t I was fed at school that brainwashed me into thinking that we are more than just meer worker ants. I don't know, I just have alot of cynicism and "what ifs" floating through my mind, and I've accumulated alot of emotional, obligational and physical baggage thats increasingly weighed me down over the years, thwarting what hopes and dreams that I want to achive, so much so that I don't even know what I want anymore.

Bloody hell that sounds depressing. I still live in hope, but fear that I may end up doing a Reggie Perrin sooner or later....

Only thing I would maybe change is not buying my house at 20, as it has restricted my social life someone. I've never had the opportunity or means to do things like festivals, or a "booked it packed it fcuked off" holiday scenario.

I would also have liked to maybe meet my Mrs 5 years later (about now actually), so I could have "sampled more of the opposite seed" so to speak.

Besides that, I wouldn't say I'd change anything. Regrets, yes, mistakes... GOD yes, but you learn from them.

Right here right now, I'm the happiest I have been for a long long time, well before I lost my job last year. I'm doing an engineering apprenticeship I enjoy (and struggle with so it ain't easy), and I also do a hobby and get paid for it on a weekend. My fiancee is about to enroll back at college by taking advantage of a free course in childcare that would have been beyond our financial means otherwise, so that helps too.

Don't need loads a wonga to be happy, but I would say that as I have none

spent less money and time on cars, or gone for different car choices.

if I could just have the money back I've spent over the years.

kicked various ladies into touch a lot earlier than I did.

I'd be less gullible, trust people less and be more confident
