A place to gloat

I am sure some of us have many achievements we feel very proud about, but are worried about sharing them over the fear of being seemed self-obsessed or arrogant. However I think it's important to share real achievements, such as our very own James Ison being official election correspondent etc.

Something I myself am quite proud about, is that after smoking fairly heavily since I was 14, I have not even taken a drag off a cigarette since mid January. Something I am very proud of, and it has not been easy. I am 20 in September.

What achievement(s) have you made, which may not seem like much particularly to others, but is an accomplishment you are proud of, and you feel is something you deserve to share with others.

You've also gone a fantastic amount of time without posting a picture of yourself. So well done to you there!

Oh come on please. CH would not be amazed if I said he was not amazingly popular with some members of the forum, but let this be a place to be content with our achievements, and not turn this thread into a slagging match like so many others.

I know you're big enough to do that, James H. Something you should be proud of yourself.

As for pictures of myself, I suppose that is a mild achievement ;)

I'm not actually sure if you're proud or being sarcastic there; considered your previous reports the former seems likely. However, you would be well-advised to adopt the latter stance should you wish to retain but a shred of your nonexistent credibility.

I'd hold more credibility for myself if I (somehow) managed to not listen to your advice/bullshit
