Your trivial achievements?

tim3000

Basically what is says on the tin. What have you done that wouldn't be earth shattering but is still something that you are proud of?

On the opposite end of the spectrum is there something you have done that you wouldn't be boasting about?

For me, my little achievement was reading both Anna Karenina and War and Peace before my 25th birthday.

On the opposite side I spent 40+ full days playing CoD:MW2 when it was released, which is slightly over 1000 hours

What are yours?

The Big Smoke

Today is the anniversary of when I started to eat vegetables.

spankysue

Got a hole in one in Links Golf 2004 once on the Xbox.

Kicked my OH's ass so much on a snowboarding game one day that he traded it in the next day for something else.

Took up baking and discovered that I'm fcuking awesome at it.

Savoir.Faire

I represented Ireland in Fencing at a European Championships in Stockholm many years ago.

I had a relatively successful opening day. My second day was met with rather less success, as a result of a strong riposte the night before from a security man who ejected me from the hotel bar with considerable force, followed by a number of point in line practice sessions with a lady representing the British team.

BabyGorilla

I was given an award in school for...well for want of better words...for hanging around with the kid in the wheelchair.

God bless the teachers and their sanctimonious, patronizing, naiive, god awful attempt at political correctness. (it was during the dawn of the era of of pc)

Im sure the wheelchair guy must have known, he was in a much higher class...god bless the guy.

Im sure they also wanted to boost my precious little self esteem in a pc way, cause I was...for want of better words....not hard working, by which I mean thick.

Had there been a black kid in the school back then they would have equally shown their enlightenment...believe me.

I still have the award tucked away for when I want a cringe. (David Brent type sht, yo, bruv ... equality)

Lost 3 stone back in 2010 and kept it off

The Elders tell of a young ball much like you. He bounced three metres in the air. Then he bounced 1.8 metres in the air. Then he bounced four metres in the air.

What episode was that? Maybe I can find a torrent.

HeidiHeidi

I was on Countdown, back in the Richard Whiteley days (RIP). I lost to the eventual series winner :mad: ('twas a sort of a fix, but I'm not bitter, not at all.....)

More recently, I survived a F10 in the North Sea, and got my offshore yachtmaster cert out of it - which will mean nothing to most on here, I'm sure, and in practical terms means not a whole pile - but is a very big deal to me

mattjack

I got married and she,s still with me.

When drinking I used to be unable to walk past a phone box without going for slash in it.

anncoates

I once ate 40 packets of King Cheezels over the space of about 24 hours.

I bought them cheap in one of those clearance sales and they just kinda disappeared in the space of a day.

we'llallhavetea

Oh yeah, started horse riding, surviving!

Turtyturd

5 star general in Halo 3.

I used to play for a dart team in North Dublin, in one competition we were drawn against a team consisting of county players who proceeded to wipe the floor with us 7-1 but I was the only one who won for our team. Forget about team spirit...nothing could wipe the smile of my face that night.

On topic of my old tv gameshows....my class were picked to be on 'The Works'...we had quizzes to determine which four students would represent the class. I got down to the final 5 before purposely getting my question wrong due to a fear of being on TV, and having to interact with Mary Kingston. The guy who took my place gave a dougal-esque performance and got a simple question wrong which cost the class the show. It was how he was remembered for the rest of primary school.

Na, it's lost forever, thankfully.:)

We beat three rides from somewhere in Limerick I remember, would have been 1994, so ladies, if any of you are out there, I was the smart, charming goodlooking lad with the flamboyant hairstyle.;)

Sigma T or something like that?....the test where the class retard had a reading level in line with his age. Everyone else was padded up to make the teacher look good.

Yeah, think that was the name of them alright. Pretty sure we were told horror stories by our teachers of what would happen if we failed. It was almost like sitting the Leaving Cert in primary school!

I sent an e-mail to the Channel 4 Morning Line horseracing program giving the correct pronunciation (and meaning) of an Irish horse name. They immediately changed to the correct pronunciation, explained what the name meant, and that afternoon the race commentator also got it right.
They sent me an e-mail thanking me.
