These days I do my best to address all of those, Mike. Two that I would have on my list are:
1. I wish I had told my first wife I loved her more often
2. I wish I had flown on Concorde when I had the chance

Wish I'd met her
Concorde or any planes I don't need.
Last time was about 30 years ago in, was it a BAC 111, noisy, cramped and on the way back the smell of someone being badly sick.
Guess I can add
Wish I'd changed lifestyle and diet may years ago.

But Concorde was stupendous, beautiful, a marvel of technology etc. How can you not be astonished that even now, in 2014, we have nothing to replace it?

You must be aware I'm not normal  Living so close to Heathrow for so many years we always knew when it was going anywhere - damned noisy. Not keen on mass transport in general although I do quite like a good train journey if the sights are good. Must confess the takeoff in Concorde would be something to experience I think the demand for it just isn't there or there would be a replacement |

I used to see Concorde fly overhead twice a day when I lived in Sonning. It was impossible not to look up and admire its beauty. The noise was rather like Formula One: part of the package. Those were fighter/bomber jet engines you know, as used in the Vulcans that flew to the Falklands and complete with afterburners.

I remember on many occasions hearing it go over and thinking and/or saying F* Concorde ! Too noisy for me |

Am definitely guilty of "I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends."
As for the rest, am happy to say they don't apply to me (yet!).

Not wasting time. Getting older is something that only happens to other people when your younger, until.... Not letting fear dictate which choices we make. Easier said than done i know. (Midlife crisis alert!  ). That's a couple for starters. |

Being such an arse.
Usually folk follow this up with "when I was younger" but I still do some really stupid things.
Way it goes I suppose.

Time is a good one Paul
Some things take too long and are pointless or near - usually with the benefit of hindsight
Some things are over too soon and again with hindsight we could make some longer

Love that site, Shane. There's another about the Vulcan bomber, haven't got the link to hand at the moment.
