    I suppose my best was a FastTrax, that little dude was quick but I broke it in record time :(

    This must be one of the best, it was organised for a Danish bus driver by the bus company he worked for whose HR department must be working overtime

    Soppy i know, but my dog who was 14 died in January this year. Two of my best mates got me a beautiful portrait of her painted for my birthday a few months before she died.

    I loooooove it to bits and still well up with the effort they went to to do that :o

    NES on my fifth birthday. Still remember the day, twenty years later. Don't remember much else from back then, so it was definitely special :)

    A 4.5Kg Tolberone! That was awesome, and delicious. Also sickening after a few weeks...

    A trip to Paris from my mates...
    The particular girl who organised it, realised the night before her the trip that her passport was out of date.. (I know..)
    Anyhow, we convinced her to still try to get there.. (I know..) - so we get through 3 security checks in Dublin airport, each one examined her passport and waved her on, so we fly to Paris...
    French authorites spotted it immediately, and told her she had to fly straight back..
    So I did the honourable thing and flew back with her.

    Did I fuck..
