What is the one thing you have done that makes you REALLY proud?

Producing two generations of beautiful, seemingly inteligent and not fucked up children.
Getting my professional qualifications.
Starting my own business.

Since you asked.

Cheers

It was nearly 40 years ago, but being elected as the youngest Shop Steward [so I was informed] in the Rolls Royce Aero Division
oldie.

OK - giving up a (15 year) half ounce a week cannabis 'habit' nine years ago.

Remained Sane without killing anybody !

Flying a helicopter from Elstree (Herts) to Southend and back. My instructor said I was a better navigator than many licenced pilots he had seen!

Leaving a nicely paid engineering job to start a PhD and finishing it.

OK

Setting up and running a local charity, with a turnover of over 150k so far.

Giving my bone marrow to an anonymous recipient. (see here). A special opportunity which I guess was entirely due to luck.

Keepin a straight face watchin the Chief dancin the other eve !

GUTTED! 15 years IS a long time though - I guess J's have a great personality

Hmm - being one of the youngest in the world (allegedly) to wear contact lenses, at 3 months.

Finishing a Uni course that I didn't fail, despite having only scraped a C at maths GCSE, and ~80% of the course being higher level A Level maths (lying bums-on-seats admission tutors - scumbags!).

Doing an A Level Art exam totally in biro (no kidding!).

With lesbians.

I was going to tell about how I drank 5 pitchers of Shiner Bock in one night without puking, but after Ludwig's post I'm feeling a bit deflated.

Ludwig

Bastard

Yours in utter jealously

Mike

Spending money I don't have on things I don't need.

Supporting Leicester City Football Club.
I know it's not much of an achievement, but it does take guts.

Roger

Just this moment returned from a successfull job interview that was only organised two days ago, sign contract tuesday & start in a fortnight's time, so a bit of drinking to do in-between I reckon ? Happy & relieved, rahter than proud, bloody hot in a coolar and tie again though, ugh.

Congratulations Mr Ricketts.

May one ask what your forthcoming occupation will be?

Don't be jealous. I was a novelty act, like Coco the clown at little Johnny's birthday party:

"Do something! Entertain us!"



"Okay, you can go home now. We're done."

Still, it looks dynamite on my cv.

Ludwig,

Wow! Really. But I guess this pretty much disqualifies you from ever running sucessfully for office in the U.S. (If only you had the foresight to "do" two straight women, you might have had an outside chance as a Democrat.)

By the way, is this how the phrase "f*&#ing Commie" got coined? ;-)

Joe, whose only accomplishment is once having burped the entire alphabet with enough gas left over to say his name: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, ....W, X, Y, Z, Jooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooe

Hmm...a rarely talent, indeed.

I hope you haven't been demonstrating it in front of your new baby - that could cost you later in life....

I can match Joe's claim to fame, and I also invented the orange juice and milk drink. Other than that, I can put my four fingers down my throat and not gag. I can't get the thumb in, but you never can.

Jon,

It appears that my "talent" is genetic. Without any prompting or instruction from me, Anna had no difficulty displaying her innate prowess in the burping and farting arts.

Well, to be honest, her first attempt at a fart wasn't *that* impressive. But before I could even utter, "Obi-Wan has taught you well... but you are not a Jedi yet," she let another rip that could have destroyed a small planet.

"Witness this, young Jedi: a fully armed and operational battle station!"

And soon, before you know it, Anna will cross over to the Dark Side and then the world will scream in terror before the might of....

Went from being a tone-deaf amateur guitarist circa 1972 to touring the world and recording with some fairly well-known people ten years later...which also assisted me in having flings with women WAAAY above my station. Of course, the struggling macaroni & cheese years in-between stay off the record, as well as the ongoing middle-age-spread, balding years.
