I once went to boot a basketball into the hoop from the other end of the court. I missed, but my shoe came off in the process and went straight through the net. It was one of those wouldn't-be-able-to-repeat-given-a-billion-chances type of things

 

And once I went to throw a ready salted Hula Hoop at my spectacled mate who was stood about 10 yards away. The Hula Hoop landed behind his glasses and got wedged between the glasses and the eyeball, keeping his eyelid trapped open until he realised what was going on and took his glasses off. He was screaming in agony, I was flat on my back laughing so hard I thought I was having a heart attack it was just incredible

My daughters mundane achievement is beating me on FIFA. About 4 years ago (So she was 6 I was 27 yrs old) we were at Mcarthur Glen in the GAME Outlet and FIFA was there to play. It was already halftime Real vs Barca with the score 0-0.

 

So we play the 2nd half and for the life of me I cant score. I am genuinely trying to win lol.

 

Then in the last minute my daughter is constantly pressing the X button to pass the ball. I cant get it off her. She passes to Messi when she decides to press the shoot button and scores.

 

Full Time 1-0. She is screaming yayyyy I won.

 

Thank god nobody else was in the store. I was so proud and devastated at the same time lol She still talks about it now.

All this mundanity brings back so many more, Sunday afternoon post massive roast, playing with random teams on FIFA. Someone needed to wash up, so we decided to bet it on the outcome of the next game. He got Brazil, I got Australia. I fvcking won a tense 1-0 battle, never celebrated a game of FIFA so much in my life. Having something to play for really focuses the mind.

 

JJJS's story reminds me of throwing sweets at someone on the bus and a Jelly Drop (the jelly ones from dolly mixtures) got lodged in someone's ear perfectly, with the flat side wedged in and the rounded top sticking out like some sort of futuristic candy implant, sadly it wasn't me that threw it, but I was sat next to the person that did, so that counts.

That reminds me of two school bus moments from Rawlins:

 

1 - we were lobbing a tennis ball round the bottom floor of the bus and it kept hitting this girl on the back of the head so she turned around and caught it, in a fit of rage she opened the window and threw it out. We drove past a mother pushing a pram, and the tennis ball landed in the pram. We've still to this day no idea if the baby was hurt, but it was hilarious nonetheless

 

2 - a mate had brought a copy of Razzle magazine on the bus and we spent much of the journey passing it round and ogling the minge on offer. The driver in the car behind the bus looked pissed off and someone tore out the centrefold spread and chucked it out the window (I think with the aim to hit the windscreen), but it stuck to his grille perfectly and he drove at least a mile with a large photo of a nude lady with legs spread on the front of his car

 

I wish everyone had camera phones when I was at school

All my light switches in my house are in the correct on/off position, including those multi switches were you can turn lights on from different parts of the house.

When I was in Year 6 we played hand cricket (that's not a euphemism, we didn't have a bat) at lunchtimes and I spent 4 consecutive lunchtimes (a whopping 4 hours) at the crease and didn't get 'out' until the Friday. I'm basically the Sachin Tendulkar of hand cricket.

I used to have an air rifle in my youth and once, in the field behind our house, I took a shot from the hip at a bird flying overhead and killed it, Shame and pride in the same moment.

There was a wasp once buzzing around our chemistry class at school, and my friend was sat there with a ruler and just flicked his wrist at it (didn't even swing at it), smacked it first time - it bounced off and slowly descended, dead as soon as it hit the floor. It even sounded like a tiny firework on the way down. Proper Karate Kid shit

1) Once throw a peanut from the bar at my mate who was sitting about 30 feet away just as he was about to eat a crisp, it shattered the chrisp and went into his mouth.

2) Farted at the bar in Planet Hollywood Toronto and myself and 5 mates were asked to leave.

3) came 2nd in a midlands pro evo tournament at villa's ground won £500 and a limited edition control pad, gutted to lose but was beat 7-0 in the final the lad went on to win the european tournament and i think he lost in the final of the world. I have never played pro evo since!
