    One thing I do know about that story... he's not an investment banker as the headline says. He's always worked in retail and credit cards.

    Missed Opportunities

    Unlucky :( We were shit - never even dreamt we'd try and become something - it was just a laugh at Uni. Bass player was far too good for us and it was clear if he wanted to and got the run of the green that he'd play professionally.

    Missed Opportunities

    TBF, he'd only just started playing guitar at that stage and he was rubbish. He was a year older than me and left to go back to Sheffield to join the band in about 1984. Years before they made it so plenty of time to practise. He was bezza mates with Jarvis from school or something. He...

    Missed Opportunities

    Guitar/Violin - Pulp Bass - Blue Aeroplanes You won't know the names of either, they're no famous and I haven't spoken to either since I left Uni. Played in a band with the Bassist. Pulp guy auditioned for our band and we turned him down. :)

    Up to a point... I like 2001 A Space Odyssey - not Full Metal Jacket so much. The director I really love is Krzysztof Kieslowski. He did a TV series called the 10 Commandments (Dekalog) before the Three Colours movies. It's my definition of perfect cinema/TV

    Thank you. I did consider people working alone and submitting answers but thought it may be a bit sterile. Not really fussed out ppl cheating - it is what it is and the fun from these things IMO is knowing something that you think many others won't know. Googling something isn't quite so much...

    Missed Opportunities

    I don't regret this, per se, as my life is fine and other good things happened down the route I took. I wanted to be an actor when I was young. I wanted to go to Drama School or study English Lit at Uni but my Dad insisted I study Maths. Even after my degree I could have gone to drama school...

    I hope your wife doesn't read this forum, Daz. Posting that in a 'Regrets' thread isn't going to win any brownie points.

    Missed Opportunities

    What missed opportunities from your life have you remembered and wished you'd done? For me, there's something daft that took place in the loo in an office in London. I reckon if it hadn't been in the loo I'd have done it... but it seemed a bit odd in that place. I went to the toilet and the...
