It would be interesting to see a breakdown of these people's backgrounds etc.

The old "I wish I hadn't worked as hard" is a common one but the question has to be asked, does it mostly come from people who are relatively well off?
If it was someone who wasn't so well off would the regret be "I wish I'd worked harder and made more money for my kids to inherit"?

So if they weren't well off they weren't working hard ?

That last cheeky Nandos

I have never had a Nandos, should I regret that?

]It''s an American restaurant chain that sells the calorie equivalent of schnackboxes with garlic chips . Always a good idea at 2 am after a feed of pints

It originated in south africa. They sell very nice chicken.

£20 will feed you and the missus no problem, handy bite when shopping or pre-cinema, i don't think they are open at 2am anywhere near me.

Maybe Seafold can start an everlasting deathbed thread where members can relate their life's regret from their deathbed.
Wouldn't that be more real and less speculative?
Only one regret, though Mayo folk could be allowed at least 5.

When i'm on my death bed i'll call for a lap top and let u all know my 5, as for now i can't say as they'll probably change in a few years. If i die but not in a bed then you'll never know...

P.s. as for the 5...i've about 50 so far so need to get busy eliminating a few of them

2004 against Fermanagh

That was a truly great day for upsets.

Go fcuk yerself.

1) Telling Farrandeelin to go fcuk himself
2) Cashing out when Sampdoria were 2-2 with seconds left last week
3) Spurning the chance to tackle Mrs Fearon at the Pointzpass Pioneers' Pilates class in September when she was beckoning me
4) Underestimating Meath. Twice.
5) Not hitting back the lad who hit me at throw in, in a meaningless U12 friendly against Derrylaughan.
I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

Met her once, lovely woman.  Though Armagh beat Tyrone that day, so I wasn't in the humour to talk to her.
