If you knew you were going to die imminently, what would you regret more - what you have done (and shouldn't have) or what you haven't done (and should have).
I'm having one and it's bloody lovely. This is all because of the thread "If you were stranded...." where one of my records would be Aria by Acker. This then led me on to Stranger on the...
