[Closed] What's the most awesome thing you've done this week?

Purchased a Bugatti, thanks to the lovely customers of CRC...

Found a job!

h4muf - that's quite awesome.

I found a toad the size of my fist has set up home in our pond. It's been quiet here...

Did my first half marathon on Sunday 🙂

Was listed as an author on my first journal article

A good brimming pan filler on Wednesday

taking up running 😯

just to cross train honestly

went rock climbing and considered riding my road bike in anger (then it rained)

Today I stripped down my PA ready to sell it....

Not really awesome now I think about it....

Well done h4muf!!!

I've done some really nice Flash animation

Oh... and sold Hora into slavery. He doesn't know yet 😀

Headlined at an academic conference, and delivered two papers - one of which I had to write in a matter of only a few days.

On a related note,

I remember my first. Enjoy the feeling!

Adopted our neighbours cat.

It has basically lived with us anyway for months as they never treated him properly or had him sorted at the vets.

Last night they officially gave him to us so the poor little fella has until Monday to fill his boots with the lady cats as he's having his nuts snipped now on Monday. 🙂

Our existing cat does not think he is awesome though. 🙁

doesn't 'owning' a cat really just mean getting to foot all the bills and watching it sleep for 23 hours a day?

I stopped hiccuping!

I managed to complete the 20 mile trip to work in under an hour thereby beating the fearsome 32km/h average speed figure.

I also have decided upon a slightly modified career path which should see my life filled with creative happiness 🙂

Didn't smoke for 38 hours (and counting)

worked out how much to pay for the Olympic Athlete's Village

ourkidsam leading so far

h4muf in second

my pesto in third

went to see the decemberists [ and backing band blind pilot ] awesome gig

Rode Tunnel Hill with the Trolls in the dark.

Lots of strange pirate noises, swearing, stupidly bright lights (2 bastids seemed to the be the norm!) and ace trails.

This week I have done ****-all. It's been fantastic.

Got inspired by a thread on the single track world forum, then OD'd on heroin.

I dont know which of those is the more awesome.

aww, fanks! It was nothing*

*it really was something, yesterday was a very difficult day

Beat my PB for my 14 mile commute, now at 48 minutes 8)

Well I put out a fire at work, Extinguisher used, the whole shebang!

I work in a cardboard factory so fires are fairly big deals lol

EDIT: Note. factory not made of cardboard 😛

Ran 4 sets of 2km at 3.36 per km.

My legs hurt 🙂

Teaboy that is quick.

Cut a bloke out of his car that was on its roof then held his drip and oxygen while comforting him til the air ambulance arrived.

Shame works goin to the dogs as I really enjoy it 🙁

Firestarter! 8)

Sold my tired old car on ebay (honest sale no shonky lies told here) for £460 - bonus!

Next sale is going to be my 2008 P7!

This.

Then, in an unrelated incident, puked so much that I hurt my back.

Teaboy that is quick.

If my biking was up to scratch I'd do ok at the Grizedale Duathlon. Unfortunately I ride like a pansy.

Firestarter - we have a new leader!

Just eaten my third pie of British Pie week...

One of them was a packet of Steak and Al Pie flavoured crisps though, which reduces my awesomenessnessnesses.

I had a pancake party 🙂
And I've tiled most of the bathroom

Unfortunately I ride like a pansy

Well I run like a zombie. Is there a team category? 🙂

rode my anthem offroad for the first time this year! 😀

I turned hundreds of used tennis balls into little bacterial spore carriers for testing clinical waste.

I also scared the bejeesus out of someone who overheard a conversation about the best way to dispose of a body 😀

Cut a bloke out of his car that was on its roof then held his drip and oxygen while comforting him til the air ambulance arrived.

Another contender. Your username is interesting if you;re a firefighter.

And I've tiled most of the bathroom

Impressive. Has reminded me that I prepped and painted the garage door on my lunch breaks, which was also very mildly awesome.

Thats not on. You should support your local bike business because of course h4muf's supported him with money and free bike bits when he was out of work.

Lee- fantastic news 😀

Harry why did you have a large prosthetic nose in that frying pan?

It might be mein teil?

My [url= http://www.flickr.com/photos/ed_rollason/sets/72157626203546274/ ]pictures of crit racing[/url] inspired an old friend to take up road racing again after 25 years 🙂

is it:

a) my first manual
b) surfmatt
c) told off an axe-murderer

?

You did surfmatt. AWESOME.

I started liking hummus .... 🙄

Jamie how come you're selling the PA?

The most awesome thing I did this week was make pancakes. Not very awesome. I had two interviews but have yet to hear back.

Nothing earth shattering... But a big personal achievement is riding my mountain bike for the first time in 4 months. I haven't been offroad for ages and needed to smell the mountains and get some mental health biking! Ticked the box taking Monday off and going to Wales for the day.

Ahhhh bisto

This is a blog of my friend I served with in the army. Every day he Is awesome , a true gent great bloke and It's very sad I really don't know what more to say but he wins the thread http://mikeparke.co.uk/

Went to the velodrome for the first time in three years. Shame I don't have the legs for it any more but I did love it.

Oh and pancakes 🙂

I upset some bogtrotters

So much so that they had to call the 'secretary' SFB of this parish to ask the 'chairman' marin_maketh of this parish to call me about it

now I have to apologise

I feel more awesomeist as a direct result of my good works

😀

he wins the thread

Second that.

I went on my first skiing trip!

Welded up a new cage/house for my dog from scratch and spray painted it.

I only went and published a freaking book!
Number one in the amazon.co.uk list of fictional sports books!

That was awesome but the people who bought it were awesomer.

Spent all week at home with my wife son and new son when they came out of hospital after 10 days. 😀

I had a kitkat that was all chocolate

for me... found out my winter weight gain was'nt nearly as bad as i'd expected.

for others... bought my lad fifa 11 so he could 'one up' his very bigheaded mate.

I got back on the bike after crashing about three weeks ago on my road bike and using my face to stop me, managed to loose 3 of my front top teeth. I was a bit wobbly getting back on but soo glad i did it, i love riding my bikes! 😆

I bought samuri's book and read half of it naked in bed

I also have decided upon a slightly modified career path which should see my life filled with creative happines

Good man. That is on my shortlist.

Gave my LBS 4 bags of free fresh Coffee & Chocky squares 😀

Sometimes the small stuff is awesome too. More of that

Saw my consultant, another three months free of lymphoma. But I think Carlosg wins the thread.

Went to Paris and walked about in the sunshine - the warmth is starting to be felt....

Also, went to a conference and heard Sir Ken Robinson talk about creativity and education - pretty awesome - check out his stuff on t'internet.

Talked a colleague into unblocking the urinal in work.

Th smell when he took the blockage out
OMG, glad I didn't do it!

Nowt, pretty rubbish innit? 😳

Lovely pic from carlosg - hope everyone is well. 🙂

Oh and I bought a t-shirt with this on.

fairly awesome

Bought my partner some SPD's for her birthday.

AND she's not fallen over in a twisted heap of embarrassment, knees and elbows. Yet 🙂 .

I've covered about 100 miles between bike and foot this week so far, this is the most exercise I've managed in nearly 4 years.

It involved dogs and animated gifs

i went up a clock tower and put together my 1st clock (and it works)

Noteeth sadly his time is almost over now, I really don't know how he can be so positive I know I couldn't

Nice pic Carlosg enjoy 😉

I fitted my very first (2) tubeless tyres.

Don't know what the fuss is about...

gave a shit

I had a kitkat that was all chocolate

took a load of grief from some-one else's customer, sorted out samples, ordered courier, phoned back and generally grovelled, even though it wasn't my fault at all!

Is work always like this?

bought, built, rode and broke* my first fixed gear bicycle
*the chain that is

Went skiing for the fifth time in my life, and discovered that I am now officially a level 5 (out of 10) skier. 2 short months ago I was level 1.

I guess you had to be there, but it felt pretty awesome.
