haven't read the thread in it's entirety, but am I right in thinking that some of the more vocal STW attention whore's main achievements appear to have been online?

idave - how do you mean "on-line?"

i meant that arguing on here is the whore's greatest achievement

idave - I getcha!

Need to add one more stupid thing:

-been stabbed - it hurt

i meant that arguing on here is the whore's greatest achievement

To whom are you referring?

watched myself turn into green energy on my friends mums kitchen table.

We've all been there...

I'm also feeling a bit inferior after reading some of the above, but here goes:

Been kicked off stage by Nicky Wire at a dive venue in Swansea on the Manic's first tour
Briefly in a highly unsuccessful Welsh language rock band (1 gig, recorded music for a never released Welsh TV drama!)
Skinny dipped in a waterfall
Taught some friend's kids to surf (one popped up on first attempt!)
Swum around a (very) small Greek island
Surfed the Severn Bore
Been wiped out by the Severn Bore, picked up by high-powered RIB, and deposited the other side of the wave to catch it again!
Climbed Snowdon, Ben Nevis and Scafell in a weekend
Held my Dad's hand as he passed away
Held my wife's hand as our lovely son was born by emergency C section (scariest and most humbling experience ever)

[i]Once had Afternoon Tea with Eric Morcombe.[/i]

Sorry everyone, but that one tops it for me. 🙂

I would suggest punching the baboon as my favourite, as you have to consider the entire scene

So, tea with Eric Morecambe, punching an ape till it spewed, and calling Sir Bob a w***er would appear to be the top 3. I must say I'm disappointed that gozzing on Gary Glitter didnt prove more popular, but there you go 😉

Ah **** it...

Been filmed for an upcoming BBC programme with Goldie
Had a Sunday Observer mag journalist come to write a piece about a project I set up
Was one of the headliners at the first Kendal Calling festival just before Pendulum
Made music for adverts
Organised some fairly legendary raves/parties in the middle of nowhere with several hundred people
Been in a small plane which did loop-the-loops and barrel rolls etc (and was sick 🙂 )
Had a pint with Mark Owen from Take That (wow!) 🙂
Jumped off a fairly high bridge while drunk
Erm....

Nothing too exciting (but all true 😉 )

I thought punching the baboon was a euphemism

you mean he kicked a gibbon?

punching a baboon is something to do with sawing wood and feeling like your dad.. from an Eddie Izzard routine.. a bit like letting a mouse run over your hands while you wash them..

I once kicked a lemur though.. for getting fresh with with my neice.. well.. more truthfully I kinda pushed it away with my foot but that would make the story slightly more dull than it already is..

I also eat a Fly Agaric toadstool back in the arly 90s.. the red and white spotty ones.. cooked into a spag bol.. I wouldn't wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone..

can't remember many things (concerts, club nights etc...)

Big waves are terrifying. I've scared myself stupid on a number of occasions when I've bitten off more than I could chew even in overhead waves. I've got the utmost respect for anyone who rides the really big stuff. These days, a mellow 3-4ft is more my speed!

-been stabbed

Yeah, that was me. He called my car a poof.

I have also:

Done Cwmcarn in less than an hour - recently (with all the rough bits and extra bits)

Earned the love and respect of my wife and daughter.. this is the biggie I reckon.

I find they vary a fair bit - I've surfed 6-8ft waves that are okay (for non surfers this is double to double and a half overhead - wave sizes are odd) then surfed 4-5ft heavy dumpers that have scared the sh1t out of me.

Have been very close to drowning twice (blacked out, etc) so a bit more careful. Loads of injuries too but all fine in the end.

We need more waves NOW!
