Certainly my biggest comic regret. When I was about 15 or 16 and in 10th grade I had managed to save up about $1000. I remember seeing an ad for a comic company in the US and sent for a catalog. Within they had a VF/NM copy of Fantastic Four #1 for $800. I thought that was an obscene amount to pay for a comic and dismissed it.

My biggest regret was that i never got to see Paris in the Spring...........................  No really,probably my biggest regret was taking up smoking as a Teenager like most kids.Taken me well over 20 years to ditch it but have managed to just last year.Definitely has affected me over the years health-wise. Few hairy moments there. Can't think of anything else right now but i'm sure i'll be back. |

My only regret is that I have...Boneitis.
Or being serious, there's not a lot in my life I regret, though I do regret not finishing the stupid trailblazer last year. It's going to bother me for years until I can force myself to train properly for that 100km hike. Dammit.

Yeah smoking for 15 years probably wasn't one of my greatest achievements. Also, you know that new Barocca in a bottle? I came up with that idea. 12 years ago. When it would have actually been a good idea. |

 Karma sucks don't it? Actually Demon you reminded me of another regret.I had every original release 3 3/4"Star Wars Fig from the Original Trilogy including multiple Stormtroopers of all types all in perfect condition with all acessories.Also had all of the vehicles. They were all stored in a packing case and i left them behind in a House i was sharing with some mates.I moved out but they stayed and i never bothered to go back and get them.Still kick myself regularly about that one. |

You could probably buy a set of tires for what they'd get you these days!

Sure because a set of 4 tyres would allow you to easily grow a bitchin potato plant. |

Okay, see, so I'm getting old man habits prematurely (there's an opening... and another one.. oh I'll stop while I'm ahead... dammit), like vegetable gardening, and while it's cool to plant potatoes in the ground and such, you get better results by forcing them to grow vertically. Apparently (and I should have thought about this the last two times we got new tyres, since I think about it every time I see a tyre lying on the side of the road) the best solution is to put a tyre on the ground, put the seed potato in that, fill it with dirt, and then wait for the plant to grow. Once it gets about 30cm above the tyre, you drop another tyre on top, and add more dirt as required. Eventually you end up with a nice, straight potato plant, with tons of potatoes growing below. Or you can just stuff 'em in the ground and heap more dirt on top in mounds (or be even lazier and not do that either, for what are - from my limited experience - similar results). |
