On a positive note..

Meeting you.

Farting in the presence of the Queen when she visited our secondary school.

Wuss

joining the army and having a great time doing it!

yeah I know..

Reaching 42 in one piece.

I’m still hoping to achieve hot wing-mirrorage…..

After 5/6 years of temporary work after leaving school I realised that things are much easier if you put the effort in…so I went to University as a ‘mature’ student and came away with a 1st.

Sport wise, I did the SDW in two days without dying.

I do wish I’d taken thai boxing seriously when I was younger and had a proper ‘career’ out of it…I’m now contemplating a white collar boxing event before I’m 40.

bringing up 2 fantastic kids, one of which looks like he is turning out to be a pretty good dad too.

My whole life’s been a success, really.

I am actually quite happy with my wife, children, house, and the general direction of my work.

I suppose I just wish I could ride more and that I wasn’t trhee stone overweight. 🙁

Yet to come. Hopefully. Otherwise I’ve made a bunch of people a shitload of money and not one had the good grace to say thanks.

hhhmmmm … none so far … just surviving.

I am thinking very hard but nothing I can think of as my greatest achievement so far … life sucks!

completing a degree in my 40s

completing the strathpuffer solo in a reasonable placing

But above all a whole load of little things thru work. helping a man acccept his wife had dementia and helping him come to some understanding of it

Helping a woman come to terms with the death of her mother

Getting a big smile from an old lady who had turned her face to the wall to die

I can see all their faces still

Its a toss up between being once ranked 5th in the World and going from a pennyless athlete with an injury, to having enough money for a deposit on a house and a great job which i love… Sod it, its the second one for sure!

A jawdroppingly filthy nurse about 15 years ago. 😯

+ Great wife, 2 brilliant kids, being able to provide for them and doing the whole HTN thing.

lad i used to work with was asked this in an interview. he replied that he was the first lad in poynton to have white alloy wheels on his saxo… and he got the job too.

anyway, mine is not dying (which hasn’t been as easy as you might think, thanks to hypertensive cardiomyopathy)…

He wasn’t the last, believe me.

Not meeting hora.
