A few years back I traveled down to Bristol with a few mates for a night out. We spent the next day wandering around the town to sober up before the drive back. Stopping off in a pub for dinner I went to rack up the pool table while my mates were at the bar. Some guy in there calls over 'Sorry mate, it's winner stays on. Do you want to play for the table?' I thought why not, mates were still at the bar, at least I'll get one game. I'm a complete beginner at pool and I've never claimed to be good at it, but this one game I was amazing! Everything worked, my colours kept dropping, had my 7th over a pocket and the black waiting in the mouth of another... Shot... my last yellow dropped in the pocket and bounced back out onto the table. He still had ALL 7 reds in play. Finally beat him with 4 left on the table. Shook his hand and said 'Good game mate.' All he had to say was 'No it wasn't,' and left with his mate. I so wish I'd managed to pull that off

I have written a couple of books. Nothing fancy, just technical books on building. Still, I feel happy that I have 'left my mark'.

Jonboy_t said: I once played drums with a band at Reading Festival in front of about 40,000 people. Single coolest, greatest, scariest and most memorable moment of my life. What band? I rode an ostrich, that was fairly cool. Was once walking with a newish girlfriend in some nice woods trying to show of my nature knowledge and when we hit a remote bit I casually told her to be quiet as it was the kind of spot you should see deer. As I said it two roe deer sauntered out from the woods in front then shot off. She'd never seen a deer before and thought I was a wizard. Made me feel cool for about 30seconds anyway  I carved my mates kid a one year birthday "card" out of a big willow branch with a chainsaw. Everyone (apart from the 1 year old) seemed to think that was really cool. Think perhaps I'm yet to have my coolest moment compared to some on here

Sadly for me, there are many on here who could be sat on the toilet having a s t, and they would still be cooler than me at my most suave and sophisticated

There used to be an old telegraph pole next to a bus stop we all waited at from School, which had a wire hanging off it, one day a mate of mine was about to swing on this wire, so I thought just as he swings, I'll pretend the bus is here, he "readied" himself for the swing, and as he did I counted out loud "3...2...1....BUS" just as I said that, his feet left the floor, and is it happened the bus came around the corner.
Never in my life have I timed anything so accidentally perfect.

At a club with a few friends, while chatting up some bird I caught a friend on the second-floor smoking section (I was on the ground floor). I shouted at him to throw me two cigarettes for my new crumpet and I, which I both caught in my mouth, lit them with a stylish Zippo flick, and then nonchalantly passed one to her. Couldn't do it if I tried now.
Apologies for this one in advance but I thought it was quite satisfying.
After a 12-hour shift at work I decided to treat myself with a McDonalds. I was sitting in my car, munching some chicken nuggets at around 2am, when I saw a Police car pull up (presumably for the officers' break). I caught their eyes and waved at them - they politely waved back.
Nothing came of it for the next 10 minutes until I'd eaten my grub and had a smoke. Normally I'd have got out of the car to deposit my rubbish in the bin, but for some reason I felt it necessary to just drive near the bin, hoof the rubbish out of the (convertible) roof, and drive off. Not only did this work perfectly, but as I was leaving I caught the plod pointing and laughing at my exploits.

Blib and co - I'm rather jealous of the flying posts on here. Aerobating a Harvard or something similar has been on my 'to do' list for most of my life, but alas a humble Cessna 152 is the peak of my flying experience so far... Anyhows, my 'coolest thing' has to be driving my classic Porsche 15,000 miles across 26 countries, from England to South Africa. The Porsche had been my daily driver for 4 years before the trip and was on its last legs, but I just couldn't bare the thought of selling it, so decided it should go out with a bang instead by attempting an epic journey. Unfortunately its engine embraced the idea of going out with a bang rather too enthusiastically by destroying itself 17 days before the journey started, but we got a completely unknown scrapyard engine fitted in the nick of time and nervously set off anyway. We broke down another 27 times during the course of the journey, had run-ins with many a police force, visited many 'interesting' places including Syria, the Sudan and Ethiopia, and spent quite some time stranded in the middle of a baking desert, being raked by electrical storms - but hey, in hindsight it was 'cool!' My attempts to surpass the coolness of those three rather intense months have so far fallen a little short... I'm planning on beating it next year though!
