    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.

    I appeared on Blackboard Jungle, the legendary school quiz show hosted by Ray D'Arcy, whilst drunk.

    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 :D

    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.

    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.

    I once peed continuously for 2 min 12 seconds. Despite resisting the temptation of going in a bush between the luas and my house, I still managed to take out my phone and start the stopwatch.

    FYI, I was sitting down.
