What incredibly dull achievements are you proud of?

[BenLowden]

One of our email templates broke and I spent considerable time with a developer yesterday working out what had gone wrong. After a very long process of elimination, we finally worked out that our email marketing platform was inserting a hidden </div> tag which was breaking the formatting in the email. Although incredibly dull, it felt really good to find it and get it fixed. If you ever need help getting to sleep, read this thread!

I'm the 1975 London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham 100m front crawl under 14s champion. (before you all start asking for signed photos, there was a bus and tube strike, and lots of the other schools couldn't make it to the gala venue )

I drove to London and back and managed 48mpg

I received a county court 'bravery' award for standing up to my car jackets.. Should have been a stupidity award though haha

I played 'Bertie Beaver' at Twickeree (beavers, cubs and scouts convention) in 1984, mum reckoned I nailed it.

Even my grandma could beat up a lightweight coat. It's the bomber jackets you have to watch out for.

In the past 4 years I have planted 13,000 trees by hand. It has been very boring.

I once managed to let out a continuous fart all the way from my desk to the kitchen, down two flights of stairs. Cleared the office out.

I was invited to canoe on Emu's Pink Windmill Show back in 1987 when they filmed at Holme Pierrpont. I never saw it when it aired but I found a copy on Youtube recently.

I performed an arrest on a car thief and was commended by British Rail Transport Police. (I was a supermarket manager at the time)

That doesn't sound dodgy at all. Did Saville present it perchance?

When I was 10 or so, playing football with my brother and cousins in the park, I went for a stealthy piss in the bushes, with my brother acting as lookout.

Him: "I bet you cant pee on that wasp."

I pissed on the wasp.

It was the wonderful Rod Hull & Emu. It was as dodgy as lots of the 80's children's TV.

Managed a similar feat yesterday when I managed to trump all the way down the corridor at work, distance? approximately 15 meters. Not sure if this is worthy but the feeling of achievement beat anything else I did that day.

I reached 60 years old!
