    As above.
    Does anyone have any achievements in life that they are particularly proud of. Could be anything big or small. Personally I don't know if I've achieved anything of note just yet, beyond maybe record breaking television binges and/or masturbation sessions, but I am interested in hearing all the cool and exciting things boardsies have achieved in their lives.

    I knew nothing about car maintenance a year ago, and still didn't until january/ febuary when i got my new car, since then I've nearly took it apart and taught myself and learned a lot from others in the process, and now im restoring an older car because of it all, not bad for a 23 year old who last year didn't know what washer fluid was

    This type of thing impresses me loads. The ability to just up and decide that you want a new skill and just doing it. I admire your committment sir/madam.

    Sir, and thank you :) To be honest it wasn't out of deciding, it was more out of necessity, a simple service is a rather handsome three figure sum for it so i was like.... right so we're really doing this eh? righto!

    I'd actually love to know more about this. Mostly because i'd love to do the same thing but wouldn't know where to start. How old was the car you got? And how did you go about it?

    Fapping inbetween two blow up dolls in a tent does not a threesome make.

    I was learning the violin and I was steadily moving up the grades and was heading towards grade three. I decided two months before the exam that i also wanted to do piano (I had done keyboard when I was younger) and my music teacher tried to put me off but when she realised I was serious she got on board.

    I took the grade three exam for both and to be honest I expected to fail the piano one but I got 67%. I was prouder of that than I was of the violin one which I think I got 80+ :D

    I start back again with lessons in September and while I know I am weaker on piano than violin, I want to do the grade four exam on both. Just a little thing but for me I was walking on air when I passed the grade 3 piano exam :)
