Guest caraprof Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 I was responsible for fathering Alexandra Louise Wilkinson, B.Sc. (Hons) aged 21.My wife and I had given up hope of having a family and decided that I must be firing blanks. Suddenly at the age of 39 my wife announced that she was pregnant. Alex was born when my wife had just turned 40 and she has been a total joy for the last 21 years.That's my greatest achievement in life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had dinner with Albert Lee on my birthday this year (I have dinner with him quite often, but that sounds boring ) If you haven't heard of him check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John H Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Jan, I was talking to a Radiotherapist who goes in that pub and she said that every sentence he speaks starts with "when I was touring in the states". I heard they were thinking of getting back together again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGD Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Many moons ago I used to be in the Guinness Book of Records, under the Rowing section, as the holder of the fastest single sculls completion of the Lincoln to Boston Marathon (longest rowing race in the word, 34 miles). A single scull is where you row on your own using two "blades" (oars), rather than as a member of a larger crew each using one oar). But then the buggers changed and slimmed down the format of the book and dropped loads of records from further publication, including mine. First University Honours Graduate in our family; and then the first family member to achieve full membership of chartered professional bodies: initially the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development; and then later in my business career I was also elected as a full member of the Chartered Institute of Directors. Dunno if all these people count as famous, but in my time I've met: Prince and Princess of Wales (She was just fantastic), Malcolm Rifkind ((it's not nice to insult people)), Sir John Harvery-Jones (what an amazing presence), Michael Schumaker (really nice, easygoing chap), Greg Ridley (base guitarist with Humble Pie) shortly before his untimely death, blah blah blah..... Lectured a bit at Aston University Business School on Recruitment and Selection Techniques. Been on UK TV a couple of times (talking bo**ocks of course, as usual). Then, since retiring from the business world in order to come and enjoy the 2nd part of my life in a MUCH more relaxed style here in Spain: Have a regular two-weekly news-review show slot on the main English language radio station here on the Costa Blanca. I guess the biggest musical concert claim to fame was when I played with my big 5-piece rock band, at the biggest Harley-Davidson and biker festival in Spain the summer before last - 30,000 attenders. What a buzz! Just like almost everyone else, I've made no lasting contribution to pushing the Human Race forwards at all, I've just done (and am doing) the things that have given me personal challenges and enjoyment at that point in my life. :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long did you spend on the risk assessment before you went to the rescue and weren't they fortunate that you'd previously done your Health and Safety Department's water survival course!
