    would not have farmed the 1st year we bought land, and have leased it.

    and maybe have bought a tractor with a loader

    I'd have done the euro millions tonight with the following numbers
    7 11 14 28 30 2 10


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,313 ✭✭✭✭Sam Kade


    Why waste time with regrets? If you could foresee the future regrets wouldn't exist :) If I could foresee last Saturday nights lotto numbers then I wouldn't regret doing the wrong numbers.

    Whelan1..... really? I'm biting my tongue here. Look- all any one of us can is make the best decision we can with the info and knowledge we have to hand at the time. If u follow this simple piece of advice you won't have a regret in the world. Looking back in hindsight is only b*ll** . None of us can or ever will be able to read the future.

    I honestly haven't a regret in the world. So l never made a mistake. ..... oh l made plenty of them. ....but I don't regret them.

    I think if people could see what they did on a Saturday night, they'd have far less regrets!

    You'd need the holidays to get over the trauma of teaching kids during the winter months!

    I try to regret nothing I've done in the past and all that jazz, but where I do find regrets useful are helping me make decisions in the present! Basically always ask yourself, will you regret this in the future? (Or equally so, will you regret not doing this?). Then go with that decision! At least then, if later on it comes to realising that was a mistake etc, you can be clear with yourself that you had justified it at the time.

    I travelled a fair bit, funny thing is I regret not travelling even more. I know people and they've spent their whole life working in the same job, drinking in the same pub. Each to their own, I guess.

    i have a friend like that, never went anywhere, drinks same pub every sat and sunday, he is in his 40s and being doing it for 25 years, same holiday every year, asked him once did he regret never doing a bit of travelling, he said no he was happy with his lot,

    saw them from a distance years ago on a quick lay over in new york. didnt have time to see them up close. they were goen by the time i got the chance to go back.

    have few regrets as i'd be a different person if i did them. prorply could have worked harder in school and college but not sure it would have made a huge differnce to be honest. would have liked to travel more, when i had the time to travel i didnt have the money and when i had teh money i didnt have the time.

    was in south america a few years ago, peru is great place accomdation was ok and the food was very good, would luv to go back and see more. really liked chille and would luv to see more of argintina and brazil. have never made it to austriala and despite having a number of friends and relatives there i would to meet


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 171 ✭✭Going forward...


    No regrets for me, I'm a happy go lucky kind of guy, tomorrow is another day and so on and so forth. :)

    Give me a break. Biggest load of BS bravado ever imho. Everyone has regrets, no shame in that, you don't have to tell us but quit the posturing and playing to the crowd. They don't have to eat you alive but we all wish we did something differently

    I often see farms from the road with 4 or 6 or 8 or 10 different small sheds built over decades making a massive jumble of yards ect.......if you could clear your sheds/ barns and outhouses what would u build with a blank cheque?
