Thanks to @janer1967 for this idea.

Here we share unusual things we have done - things that people wouldn't expect we have done or things that most people haven't done!

For example a couple from me:

I have been locked in a police prison cell.
I have driven around an F1 circuit.

I realise I am not very interesting and I've ran out of interesting things...I'm sure you can come up with more! :smiley:

Over to you!

    I once saved the life of a hedgehog by gently rolling it across a busy road to the other side. (Well I wasn’t going to pick it up..they’re prickly! ?)
    This image has brightened up my evening @leeCal. Adorable!

    I'm also quite boring, and can't really think of anything right now...

    I've had a poem published in a book (it was in primary school and there wasn't much competition but we can gloss over that detail).

    Nice thread @66Mustang!

    It’s highly overrated. 
    Exciting stuff is also, often, incredibly scary too.
    Telling a tale of being stuck on a mountain ridge as a gale force wind decided to come through, it was so strong it was pushing me over the edge, there was a couple lying down in the snow to wait it out she was clearly terrified, as was I. The only way down was a black run with all of the snow ripped off it, leaving just ice. Going over the top I knew that there would be a few crashes on the way down, so carefully planning which snow (I hoped, that could have been ice too) once moving my recent ice skiing lesson really paid off and I managed to hit the bottom without crashing once, which was a relief, as crashing on a run that steep can end very badly, as you won’t stop until you hit thick, soft snow, a tree, or the bottom !

    Really exciting to tell…Scary as heck to experience.
    it takes quite a lot to get my adrenaline running now!

    @woodbine you haven't let anyone down it was hardly your choice to become disabled 
    Your support on here helps others and you no doubt wouldn't be here without your disability

    You have let nobody down.

    not just being polite, don’t think this way (although I suspect we all do) and keep facing forward!

    You're not the only one who has let your family down, I have too. I went to Medical Assisting College and made it to graduation with a B. Worked at a Physicians office and failed. I no longer work in the Medical Field.  :(

    You have failed nobody.
    you are still being a success, in a different field.
    I went from high flying sales management position, earning fantastic money, to benefits of £100 a week…I felt I had failed, everybody, we had to sell cars, houses, all sorts of things I had become VERY attached to.
    I took a good year to finally accept what was happening, now I am feeling a success again, building guitars, and selling the wood to make them.
    (still skint though)
