"Here Here" for the comment on Whitney. What a waste.  RIP.

The richest person (in monetary wealth) I know made his money in mobile phones in the 80s. He'd buy a phone, go to the M4 corridor, sell it to some Yuppie, and repeat. Over time, he built a small team, negotiated a percentage of the contracts and by the time he retired I think his fortune was around £50 million.

He had an absolutely fantastic Rolls Royce. Last I heard he was investing in property in Greece so the current financial situation must have hit him.

That is the reason you'll never make it rich. 
Greece is at the moment being raped and pillaged by the fat cats.    
'Investing' in Greece means taking part in the pillaging by buying tangible assets like real estate at rock bottom prices.

Yes, but this was in 2005/2006. At the boom

I regret not spending more time with both my Grandfathers.
I regret not taking a year off after school. I might have completed University if I had.
I regret buying a CB750F2. The worlds DULLEST bike. 

I have seen Queen, Deep Purple (Mk2), Led Zeppelin just a couple of months before John Bonham died, AD/DC with Bon Scott, and many many others. No regrets on the music front.
Best concert ever was Tangerine Dream.
I was a bit wrecked and the music and lasers had me in close orbit around our Super-massive Galactic Black Hole.

Doesn't matter if you don't have to sell.
And since nobody pays property taxes in Greece anyway...

I remember that I was approached by a guy in the early 1980s... he put a business proposition to me which went something like

" I'm in with a company that is going to market and sell mobile phones in the U.K, do you fancy getting involved ?...let me know when you've thought about it "

I thought about it and at the time and came to the conclusion that when someone bought a phone they wouldn't need another 

So I said " nah it's not really for me"..what a dozy pillock I was 

don't be so hard on yourself hindsight is a wonderfull thing and if I had it, I would i've won the lottery,thunderball,euro millions,health lottery and even the irish lottery by now and i've garage full of seventies classics

Regret not buying a mint Laverda Mirage in 1990 when it was offered me for a £1,000 and I said we couldn't afford it cos we had a baby.
Then going back to look at it and the guy offered me his mint Montjuic for £750, couldn't afford it cos we had a baby.
Best gig, Pink Floyd at Old Trafford, or maybe, Alex Harvey, The Who and Outlaws at Charlton Football Club late 70s., or was it Hawkwind at the Palace Manchester 1974 or Uriah Heep, Manchester Free Trade Hall, or Chuck Berry at Buxton Festival....
Je ne regret rien

Tangerine dream....what was you on....!

I regret throwing away my black plastic refuse-sacks, which, when filled with all our holiday gear, fitted snugly into my panniers. Did I mention i've replaced them ?

Tangerine dream....what was you on....!

Can't remember but it was good. 
Was also an awful long time ago!
