A distinction shared by few I'd imagine. Bravo.

I don't like to brag, but I have often been mistaken for Chris Martin.

(Is this a distinction or hindrance?)

I have the distinction of having been a boy in my past. However, I've been having a change of heart about the whole thing lately. Being a man sucks and I want to go back.

Change of heart? If you're going back to being a boy, then you'll definatly need a change of heart as you'd need a smaller one in the chest cavity.

They're on special offer in Lidl at the minute.

On Monday last week I drove 3 different rental cars.

Started off the day in an Audi Q3, dropped it off at Dublin airport, flew to London and picked up a Mercedes GLS 350 AMG, flew back home that night and picked up a BMW 316d at Dublin airport.

I was also the youngest perso in Ireland (aged 11) to successfully complete a basic sea survival course.

Now the GLS63 AMG would be pretty impressive.

I am without distinction. Frequently described as a typical accountant. Anonymous and grey. I like it like that.

I once killed a fly with a knife.

It was buzzing under a glass counter and I just timed it right and stabbed the mawfúcka straight up.

Cold blooded, me.

They still live on as just the front bit, while the back bit ooooooozes out it's venom as it dies.

I once made the local newspaper by organising a demonstration for the religious freedom of woodworms as an April Fool's prank.
Only 3 people showed up, but we had lots of flyers to hand out

Moved to Dublin from the country, eventually after years renting bought an apartment and am still here - when many of my old friends and class mates have emigrated. Good life but not nothing achieved very distinctive....once cycled from Malin head to Mizen head one summer years ago, thats all.

I am not one of the best fans in the world

Stigura

I bred some newts.

Yes. Ye read that right. And I'm as serious as cancer.

I was breeding various amphibians at the time. Shop had these particular newts in. I bought some and said, " I'll breed these now. " And I did. Nothing to it.

Then, I started getting flooded with letters from Doctors, in Russia! They were calling me " Doctor Stigura " and asking me how I did it.

Turns out I was only the second or third person in the World Ever to have bred these fcuking newts!!!

I just did it for a bit of craic!

Chain Smoker

I figured out how to use my rain jacket as:
1. extra padding for the shoulder strap on my bag
2. a bumper of sorts to avoid my laptop bag from hitting against things
3. a booster to put between myself and the seat
4. a means of avoiding my underlying clothes from getting wet

PLL

Saved the life of a girl I lived with in college. She tried to hang herself. I was the only person in the house and I only left my room because I remembered I'd taken clothes out of the washing machine hours ago and forgot about them. My scattyness saved her life. She was hanging outside my bedroom door from the attic. I was 19.

She is very happy now, got the help she needed, and has a daughter. I don't speak to her and although I usually delete anyone off Facebook I don't speak to, I can never delete her. Seeing pictures of her happy is a wonderful feeling because ANYONE can be like she was at rock-bottom and suicidal, you just have to always remember there is always a way out, things can get better.

twowheelsonly

I trended on Twitter for two days about two years ago (thanks to a photo I took - not because I'm special :-( )

I sang at the State funeral of one of those executed for their part in the 1916 rising (Thomas Kent) - even got to song a solo bit !! Not sure if it's a distinction but taking part in it was certainly one of the greatest honours I've ever had.

Once did personal security at an event for Michael Madsen and also ................Vinnie Jones !!! You'd swear he needed minding !! :-D

I've met the last 3 presidents and last 5 taoisigh

I've authored 15 peer reviewed academic papers and written a chapter in a book.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate.

Winterlong

I think we can safely say that I am the only person to have met both Enda Kenny and Bez over the past weekend.

Buddy of mine has the distinction of being the only person I know to get sick in 3 countries in the space of 7 hours.
Back in the day, a gang of us went to Barcelona/Valencia for a week. flew Kerry-Stansted-Girona with Ryanair. Good week was had by all, plenty of high jinks, booze etc.
Night before we flew home, we went for a few in a bar in Girona to keep the aul sweats/horrors at bay. Most of us headed back to the hotel round midnight, buddy was getting a lip for it at this stage, so he decided to stay on. Told him he should come away, we've flights early in the morning. no good, he told us we were a pack of lightweights!
He fell into the hotel room round 4 am, absoutely hammered, was still p!ssed at 8 am when we were leaving the hotel, got out of the taxi at the Airport, one sight I'll never forget is seeing your man down on his hands and knees puking his ring up outside Girona Airport! He slept all the way to Stansted, ran to the jacks in Stansted Airport, puked there. Got off the plane in Kerry Airport, puked on the tarmac even before he got into the building. Even now 13 years later, I find it hilarous!

Got that beat. Last week took the train from Paris to Amsterdam which passed through Belgium so that's 3 different countries :P

The J Stands for Jay

A few years ago, I was stuck in traffic on my way to work. The futility of the whole lifestyle was getting to me. I decided there that I would a achieve something just for it's bowb sake; I decided I would get into the Guinness Book of World Records. Within 3 weeks I'd done it.
