Booking a holiday over the playoff final. My flight back was about kick off time so I had a choice. Fly back and don't switch my mobile on and watch the replay hoping I didn't find out the score before hand.
Fly back a day early to make the game. Extend the holiday and watch it in Cyprus. I chose to watch it in Cyprus. Will regret it forever and doubt I'll ever see us win a final in the 94th minute ever again.0 -

It was an option for me but the daggers I got from the Mrs when I suggested cutting the holiday short just wasn't worth the agg so actually it wasn't an option 🤣LargeAddick said:

I bet you wished you had gone sick now,KBslittlesis said:
Mine very similar.Rudders22 said:I was offered a ticket to see Queen sometime before Live Aid. A guy in the post room at work had pulled out due to sickness. I declined as there was one of their songs that was constantly played on the Radio which I disliked. (i think the one with the blow up dolls?). Then I watched Live Aid about a year later..... and my words were "f.... I have missed out big time"
Boyfriend at the time bought us tickets to see them at Wembley.
Was late turn & couldn’t get cover for love nor money.
Just go sick, I kept being told.
I’ll just see them next time, says I.
Take your brother.
D’oh! 😔😫1 -

I have no regrets but I do have massive self loathing because of things I should regret.4

I had a random thought about Reza earlier today. Then I wondered how his last name was spelt.Maybe we should have a CL spelling contest. No checking google just type his last name as you remember it.0

It caters for all wheeled sports. The park contains a very large skateboard park with all the ramps, slopes and ledges however kids are allowed to take stunt bikes and scooters on it as well. When we were there yesterday there were no skateboarders, it was all scooters and bikes.iainment said:
Why does a Cyclopark allow scooters?eaststandmike said:Very timely thread.
I took my 10 year old grandson to Cyclopark yesterday so he could ride his stunt scooter up, down and over the concrete slopes, ramps and tunnels. After about 30 minutes he sat down to have a rest. I stood there eying up the scooter with my brain telling me I am too old at 64 to get on it, too heavy to get on it, and I will just make myself look a fool ............................however
When did I ever listen to my brain!!
On I jumped, scooted up the first slope, sped down the other side and swooped across a ramp, thinking I had cracked this I completely forgot the front wheel and handlebars do a full 360o for certain tricks so as approached the slope right in front of my sitting grandson my plan was to do a tight turn in front of him, stop and hand it back to him..........................not!!!
I overdid the tight turn, the front wheel locked and face planted me straight onto the concrete in front of him, mind you I did at least stop. Wow the noise my skull made as it impacted the floor I thought I had done some serious damage however I have escaped with a badly grazed face, a swollen eye which is getting blacker by the hour and my pride dented.
Lesson learnt, am I too old for all this...............................not a chance
I just thought about your question, the scooters in question are the ones you stand on and push along with one leg, they are not motorised
If you have never been I highly recommend it, they have extended the main cycling track, skateboard park as mentioned, kids play area, jeep safaris for the kids, good cafe, clean toilets etc. Plus for adults they offer spin classes, on site gym, workshop to get your bike fixed plus you can hire bikes and helmets.

Not having talked more with my father about him and his parents living through the Second World War in Europe, under the Russian and German invaders in Latvia, the family history lost now.6

I am gonna have to look up the word Instant in the dictionary as a lot of people seem to have a different definition to me !1

A terrible time and place in history to live through. I think its no big surprise people would rather look to the future than the the past.Eynsfordaddick said:Not having talked more with my father about him and his parents living through the Second World War in Europe, under the Russian and German invaders in Latvia, the family history lost now.
Both my grandfathers served in wars, neither of them were very big talkers about there early lives. My father only found out his father had been in the first world war near his life, 84 years old at the time. He knew he had been in the army as a young man serving in India and the middle east but it was my grandmother who told my dad that his dad was 16 and went to war. My other grandfather only ever said small snippets about his past and never much about the war except losing his friend in the Rhine.
As a young child and then adult myself I too wanted to know more about my families past but the bits I've been told over 50 odd years by other family members are nothing short of pure misery by todays standards of life. I don't regret them for not sharing their memories nowadays.2 -
Christmas 83 or 84 when I was 13/14
got a nice 10 gear racing bike as a present
was well chuffed with it only to see lots of mates had gotten the new BMX bikes that had suddenly become popular.As the weeks went by I Was jealous as they rode over the banks in the fields and went off roaring whilst I had to stay on the flat grassWhen they set up a ramp for doing jumps I thought I am not missing out on that.Set up my own little ramp and did a few minor jumps but didn’t really get any air
decided to be Billy Big Bollox and have a go on their bigger steeper ramp. Got a lot of speed up and as I pulled up on the handlebars as I left the ramp, the front wheel detached from the forks and I had about a second and half of horror where I waited to face plant onto the turf8 -

Guaranteeing my 15 year old daughters phone contract, It was an instant regret as I knew this would come back and bite me even with assurances given.
The first months bill was around £160.00 and that was 23 years ago.
I wish this bloody thread had not reminded me!6 -
