Reading every post of the "Ukraine: as it happens" thread in one sitting without wanting to shout at some of the posters.*

Not impressed? Try it!

*Only managed 4 pages.

Pulled an unconscious man from a burning car pretty sure he would've been a goner. Served my apprenticeship in another country in a foreign language which I had only started learning 6 months before moving there.

I won the young scientist of the year in 1982.

A nice little lad, I keep him in the loft

I went back to college to finish a degree I'd started years ago. I got a 2.1 at the end of my finals. I then went and did a masters. Still awaiting the final result but I got the highest result in my year in three modules.

The reason I'm proud of it is because I did it full time whilst working fulltime. I switched some shifts around so I could work weekends. I took long lunch breaks to attend lectures and I used every day of holidays I had. The masters wasn't as bad as the undergrad. During the undergrad I went 8 months where I didn't have a day off work or college. I had a timetable planned months in advance which gave me about 4 hours off a week. I went to the pub once over xmas.

I've done loads of other things that I'm proud off and could even brag about, but nothing I did took as much dedication as that undergrad.

Being part of Mountain Rescue for quite a few years - it's nice to know that there are people still sharing time with their families because we were able to help them.

Personal achievement, there have been a few. Everest BC is definitely up there though. Also moving to countries where I haven't been able to read, write or speak the language, and managing to learn how to.

It's certainly not an uncommon feat but the accomplishment I'm most proud of is passing my driving test (first time!)

I was always confident I'd reach my points total in the Leaving and that I'd graduate from college without having to repeat, but I struggled badly with learning to drive, so much so that I was actually afraid to get behind the wheel at one stage. Thankfully I stuck at it and never have I felt so proud about myself as the moment when the tester opened the door and told me "You can relax now, you've passed"

I owe that man a few pints!!

Used to be pretty good at rugby, represented my county (Warwickshire) and West Midlands, got a blue for Cambridge & played in the varsity match at Twickenham in 1989.

Now I look down at my beer belly and weep.

And, I suppose, raising two great kids; neither of which I have sold, lost etc.
