Lifetime accomplishments
Ok guys, here's a thread right out of Marc26's books...
What would you consider your top 3 accomplishments so far in life? I ran into a girl last night that I hadn't seen in 15 years and we got talking about what we've been up to since we last saw each other. It really got me thinking about what I've done so far. I put my top 3 so far at: 1. Travelling. 2. Graduating university and starting my career. 3. Dating a Sikh girl for 5 years (there's enough stories to tell about this to fill a lifetime of accomplishments...) I honestly think that my trip to Thailand is the highlight of my life so far! Wondering if I'm alone in that or if others on here think the same.

It's a good question, sadly I am 22 and have not had any great accomplishments that I can really feel proud of. That being said You stated "so far" so I guess I can give you 3.
1. I Have been bodybuilding since I was 16, and my physique is finally starting to mature into something I am happy with. 2. Going to Thailand and Vietnam. 3. ? I have a long way to go I think.

1. Some mornings just getting out of bed feels like a lifetime achievement.
2. I've been drinking beer since the age of 16 and finally getting the body I deserve. 3. ...... Seems like I've got a long way to go too.

Hey Mav, I'd say that we're all "square", on that score. Yep, 3 for 3...same here! Only thing, I still can't figure out that "shoe lace" thing??? Right over left, or left over right??? I just use a ssssssssssssquare knot, and figure it out, at the end of the day? (Oh, and Nid Noy...I "did" a (not so) feature film once, my own self! Long time ago...a friend of mine, and his two sisters??? Teenage frivolity, I guess. (Never made the big screen) Accomplishment??? Pablo Last edited by pablo : 13-02-2006 at 16:26.

Played with several big British and Australian bands in the late 70's early 80's Just a minute Nelson. When you say "played with" What exactly do you mean?? Nelson being a sailor & all that.

Achievement????????
[Sikhism is a belief practiced by East Indians.[/quote]
CK. You were with this lady for 5 years? Didn't you ever discuss her beliefs with her? Sihkkism is a monotheistic religion founded in the 15th. century ( I think) by Guru Nanak. It began in the Punjab state in North West India where most of it's approximately 20 million followers now live. Not East India. How the fcuk did your relationship manage to last 5 years. Given your disinterest in her beliefs, I suppose that is an achievement.
