You’d never know it to look at me but...
this is a game whereby you tell of something you may have achieved or done which no one would guess just by looking at you of course.
The achievement can be great and impressive or trivial and funny anything you like.
my fist admission is
you’d never know it to look at me but... I once played bass guitar in a rock band!

@chiarieds I now see you in a totally different light!
It begs the question why? What on earth did you do?“This is my simple religion. No need for temples. No need for complicated philosophy. Your own mind, your own heart is the temple. Your philosophy is simple kindness.”

Some really good answers here. I don’t really have any really impressive ones to add. I will try my best below.
You’d never know it to look at me but...I didn’t learn to drive till I was 23. I thought driving was boring and pointless! How wrong I was!!I used to have long hair but I’ve never attracted a van load of builders

Hi @leeCal - When I was nearly 17, I had met a Venetian young man the day before, when we were both just in our beachwear on the Lido di Jesolo. He didn't speak English, & I just knew a little Italian. He gave me to understand he'd like me to meet him the following afternoon in St. Mark's Square. I'd taken a friend in tow for safety, & It turned out he was a policeman. Once he saw me, both he & his friend chased us both around the square, with their swords drawn, much to the amusement of some bystanders. Honest!

A lovely memory @chiarieds, thanks for sharing. ?
