One moment in your life you wish you could take back

I was 18 years old, I was attending the Franklin's Christmas party, I was new to alcohol, my dad was training me hard thinking I'd be the next middle weight sensation in Australia so Alcohol was strictly prohibited.

After 8 beers I was smashed, a colleague who I thought was cute but no stunner was walking past our table and I called out to her, she finally approached me and said "what?" I was so drunk, all I could say is "listen, listen" she said "what? I'm all ears" I replied "you're so fekking ugly"

In my drunken state, I pictured her as being "all ears"

She burst into tears and ran to the bathroom, her friends followed her, she left soon after with mascara running down her face.

I became the villain that night, no amount of explaining made the situation better.

The following day her friends had told me she had a crush on me and I devastated her confidence and self-esteem.

I pleaded with her to have lunch with me that day, she finally gave in and during lunch I tried my best to explain my actions and why I said such a terrible thing. She responded by throwing her coke at me and calling me the biggest arsehole she'd ever met.

Till this day I still feel bad about what I did, I wish I could rewind that night and take it all back.

Sylvania from Straithfield, if by shear change you read this blog, you'll know who I am, I still feel bad and I'm truly sorry.

If you'd had given me the benefit of the doubt, I would of given you spaghetti and meatballs, Joey style.

I'm now happily married and you're probably an overweight pig with children happily going about your daily life. I hope you found happiness, again I'm truly sorry, I always thought you were doable.

What's the one thing you wish you could take back?

I used to play in a band when I was younger, and we'd been going alright supporting OS bands doing festivals etc. We did a show at a pretty good venue but I had a run in with the manager and the band we were supporting because they left us no time to do a sound check because theirs took too long,and when you're a 10 piece band you have to do a sound check or you sound horrible until the sound guy can figure it all out,in this case it took him about 3 songs.By then I was fuming and set about destroying the place.skulled a bottle of Jamesons on stage and ran riot punk rock style,it was nasty. They shut off the PA to shut us up but I just plugged my mic into the guitar amp and we just kept going until the bouncers had to drag me off kicking and screaming after I'd busted one up with the mic stand.Anyway one of the horn players was a session player and knew all the big dicks,rings me the next day to tell me he had a chat with so and so a talent scout from such and such big record company after the gig, said he had come to check us out . needless to say they didn't sign us up.

lol, you can't live with em and you want them around some of time, it's a tough call. I'm sure women feel the same way.

My wife at times tells me she'd be be better off without me, then she snaps out of it when she remembers that she doesn't need to work thanks to me working my arse off all year.

I was living in London and was night clubbing in one of the big nightclubs. Who happened to walk in was Kylie Mingoue. Now by this stage I was almost legless so I stumbled up to Kylie and started singing I should be lucky...instead I actually slurred You should be lucky to sucky sucky sucky you should be lucky you slutttt...that was it, my mate grabbed me before anyone could do anything and dragged me out while I singing You should be lucky to sucky sucky sucky. I don't remember until a day later my mate told me what I did and I had to leave London for a week...ended up in Scotland staying in a haunted house, a story for another day. I actually met Kylie a few years later and told I was sorry...you know what she said to me? She thought it was funny...true story! LOL

Ah Westfield's, the one time I still lose it my old age.

I was in a cue at Big W last Christmas when a bloke cut the line, I shouted, "who the fek do you think you are you effing retard" the bloke turned around, as it turned out, the bloke did have an obvious disability.

My wife was pissed at me, my son laughed the whole way home. I did feel bad for a short time but on reflection, the guy did cut the line.

  lol Joseph.
  
  Reminds me of a time at the gabba at a shield game with some mates, we were on the drink and there were only about 100 people in the crowd. Someone at fine leg drops a sitter and we are giving it to him deluxe. While we were yelling out someone 4 rows in front gets up and starts yelling out and i yell out "Sit down and shut up you fucking retard"
  
  When the poor bastard turns around i saw quite clearly he was infact mentally challenged.
  
  The people with him and the 20 or so other people in our side of the stand just gave me death stares for the rest of the day while my mates couldn't stop pissing themselves laughing.

  LMAO. I saw a punk band in NYC many many years ago and they came on and totally trashed the place. The funny thing was they were at the wrong venue, were ment to play at some dive on the other end of the town but instead theyb thought they were at the right pub and because the crowd were booing them they went about thrashing the place (with me egging them on). Yup, wrong place at the wrong time...so to speak...
