who’s won what?

I was mountain bike bog
I was mountain bike bog snorkelling world champion in 1998, 1999 and 2000. I haven’t participated since so technically i’m undefeated 🙂

Sadly no. It was very
Sadly no. It was very impressive in the flesh, as it were, the special wrinkle was that the signet-type bit was a minature picture frame and you got a sheet of mini-pics of celebrities of the day… minor celebrities so minor that the only one I can remember was Ben Murphy who played Kid Curry in Alias Smith & Jones, he wasn’t even the cool one – which, when you think about it, is quite a trick for someone who’s the fastest gun in the west.

There’s was probably a pic of the Cresta Bear too. To win you needed to know the words to the song he sang in the commercial… while lots of other more useful information has fallen out of my head in the last 35 years I still know the words to that song.

There aren’t many of them mind.

I won our primary school’s
I won our primary school’s version of the 1974 general election. I was the Liberal candidate, but although I trounced my Labour and Conservative opponents it proved to be a false dawn for liberalism nationally.

They still have paid my, very reasonable, expenses either.

Apart from that nothing… oh wait a minute I won a Cresta Bear signet ring also in 1974 – something of a golden year on the winning things front compo victories have been a bit thin on the ground since.
