    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.

    I saved a 2 year old child's life 21 years ago outside Pennys in Newbridge. Grabbed him just as he was about to step out in front of a car.

    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 :D

    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.
