girvanjambo Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Going by an average of being drunk twice a week over the last 30 years, I have been drunk over 3000 times, a reasonable achievement. And that is a very conservative estimate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Seeger Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I've done ok so far for a 29 year old I think. Probably should think about finding a Mrs and starting a family at some point but I guess that'll come at it's own speed. So far I've - Completed an apprenticeship - Started a business aged 21/22 - Became an employer and taken over as the largest plumbing firm in my area - Seen lot's of the planet including Asia, North America and large parts of Europe - Had a hole in one That's actually really not that impressive when it's jotted down. I'm lagging behind my siblings in the having a family and owning a house department although I'm house hunting just now. Need to get the finger out and do things.

Snake Plissken Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Just under a month until I turn 30 and it's a fairly modest list. I don't have any remarkable academic achievements, just a degree in history. I have lived in east Asia for the last three years and have traveled to quite a few interesting locations Ran a marathon Got my 1234 plates at the gym Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
269miles Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Kinda saved a toddler from drowning - don't ask please. Lived and worked abroad. Got paid to travel to some unbelievable locations around the world. Still got all my own teeth - not bad for a Scot in his 50s. Got my kids well enough educated to pass 11plus exams for private schools - one didn't want to go and fecked up the interview and the other refused to go. Quite happy with my lot and looking forward to retirement in the next 2-3 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PsychocAndy Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Singlehandedly got my school banned from using North Sea Ferries.I got my whole class lifted in Rose Street except one person , me. The school banned my class from further field trips. We were at the art gallery at the mound.Our teacher never got my class to apologise to me, even when I asked him to and then demanded an apology and said although he couldn't prove it he was sure I had something to do with it. The rest of the class were stars though because not one of them grassed me and a few got doings from their parents. I would still demand an apology every so often. I was a dick but a consistent dick. The thing is if even one of them had grassed I would have got expelled, I had had one last warning to many. They got lifted for breaching the peace, but were held until the school or parents turned up. I had nearly forgotten that escapade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgiewave Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 CV-type stuff: got two degrees with top grades, became fluent in a foreign language in about 12 months with only six weeks of teaching, was a national general knowledge champion at school, also represented my schools at football, swimming and chess, and have had articles published in academic journals. I'm prouder of other stuff, though, like my mother dying when I was eight and living with a beast of a step-brother and a beast of a step-mother, and still coming out with my reason more or less intact. Standing up for a teenage student of mine whose father is egregiosuly abusive and her reason still being more or less intact. Having gone to Spain knowing nobody (except on guy who found me a flat in Madrid) and with ?1,000 in my pocket and now fluent in the language, living with my girlfriend (not always the happiest thing) and with several friends for life. Becoming much more confident in myself through teaching people from all types of backgrounds. I'm fairly sure I'm a better person than I was five or ten years ago and most people who know me would agree. "It's alright, ma, I can make it".
