Hi
I won't mention my Erotic Award again (see appropriate post), but in a jokey e-mail to Muckypup in which I did, he told me that he was a 25 Metres Backstroke Champion.
This set me thinking...what silly or sensible awards, prizes or presentations you have received....
Go on, feel free to boast...

I won (shared) the prize (50 quid - no pound sign on this keyboard!) for best Biological and Biomedical Sciences Dissertation in my year at Cambridge. The title was "What is the Mechanism of Cross-Presentation?", for anyone who is interested.
More recently I won a free 16oz soda on a promotion from Subway. Life's looking up!

Yay, I have a Bronze Lifesaving Medal for rescuing a brick in my pyjamas when I was 13!
Sadly, at 13, once you'd learned to swim you were made to stop to give other kids a chance. I can remember liking the feeling of the wet jammies even then!

Last Christmas I was the all round arse-kicker during my strip clubs fancy-dress period at Christmas. I won best tartan outfit, best superhero for Poison Ivy and best Christmas outfit for a saucy reindeer. I got banned from winning a couple of others, boo-yaaaaaaa! Won a bottle of champagne for each. May I also add I was not allowed to win at mud wrestling, either.
My greatest achievement to date though was when I won the Easter Bonnet parade in year 2. I won a Malteasers easter egg - fanks mum!

I got an award for 'academic achievement' for a computer game I made as part of a project in uni. 500 quid - cheers!
Eden - any pics of you as Poison Ivy? I'm not just a depraved food fetishist .... I'm also a tragic comic nerd!

Unfortunatley not as pictures of me at the club tended to end up on facebook. Pretty easy costume to make though, swimsuit, stockings/tights and lots of fake ivy.

Hayley, why did the brick have to be rescued from your pyjamas? If it was getting overcooked I could understand

Just the Bronze cos as I said we were made to give up swimming at school once we were 14. Pity, swimming was one of few sports I liked. I was good at netball (something to do with being tall) and vicious at hockey but preferred swimming.
I can remember the jim-jams I wore very well. They were blue nylon and even then I was mortified that I couldn't wear something a bit more stylish! My mates and I wanted to do the test in jeans on the grounds we were unlikely to fall in the sea in rubbish pyjamas but they wouldn't let us. This was in the days when jeans leaked blue dye.
The feeling of wet clothing must have kicked off something in me cos as a teenager I enjoyed wading in jeans and trainers (they were called plimsolls then!) and would find any excuse to do it.
And Richard....I knew somebody would have to do the 'what's a brik doing in your pyjamas?' joke. You win an award for being the first!
