This is one I often do at dinner parties or even around a table of strangers. It's amazing what comes out. At one Table we discovered a world record speed holder for single prop planes and a Miss Dairy Queen 1980 something.
I have a fair few cricket league winners medals, runner up at the school's table tennis competition and got as far as No. 2 in the World at online Axis & Allies. Now dropped to No. 18 :frown:
I won one of the JP McManus Scholarships in my school (CBS Sexton St in Limerick) for my Leaving Cert results
I did a Peel session. :-D
I killed a guy with a trident.
I played the Milk Tray man
I was a festival queen when I was 16 and modeled from age 8 to 18.
I set up the amnesty international group in school.
I was first female live football commentator in Ireland at our cup final last year.
I won an award for my anti racism work at mons.
Was shortlisted for press officer of the year my first year in the job....all downhill from there!
I ran with kip keanu (sp?) To light the torch at the world veteran games in Oregon.
I wore John Tracy's Olympic medal. I held Barry McGuigans world champ belt.
I'm great oh and extremely shy and modest about my achievements and claims to fame.:o
I have nothing aside from some very minor sporting accomplishments...unless being world's biggest David Connolly fan counts? Even then I'm sure his family are bigger fans (well, maybe)

All-Ireland Pioneer U-15 table quiz (a remarkable achievement with 2 teenage alcoholics on the team). We won the Connaught U-25 title the following year, beating even seasoned university drinkers/thinkers.
Irish Times Young Historian of the Year – yup, even today it just screams nerd.:o
Fencing Intervarsities and Colours v UCD– very proud of those, because I was diabolically bad at every sport I’d ever tried before fencing! Or since, for that matter.
Junior Chamber Ireland public speaking champion. Got a free holiday to the European finals in Greece out of that... 37C in the afternoon, and me wearing a tux. Sweatin' for Ireland. Top three went to the World final in South Korea. South Korea is still on my list of places to see...:disappointed:
And in recent years, nothing. Zip. Diddly-squat. Not even as much as a free scratchcard from the Lottery...
Is it weird that out of everything mentioned so far, this is the one that I'm most envious of?Quote:

FFS, the IT project was my special question!!!!
Starting Chapter 8 of my PhD in history today: but that D will haunt me to the grave.
D in history? Can you remember what topic you screwed up on. The Punic Wars - perhaps you were engaged in public wars at the time and lost concentration?
I've only ever screwed up once in my life....Quote:
