Been running my van hire for 25 years this year! 🙄
Best moments working with my dad and buying commercial sites in our home town.
We did do a big JV for 15 units about 10 years ago on BSE. That was fun and stressful.

Also i built 2 big affiliate gambling sites in 2008, sold them both in under 12 months for 30x each the residual income for mid 5 figures. |  |

Made me think that in 10 years time someone out there will be able to reply to a similar question - ‘I leaked the garden party photo that brought down a government’… |
Believe me, us gardeners see and hear it all! |  |

Without doxxing myself too much, I have two things:
- doing the aerodynamic and engineering calculations and working with the Americans and BAe in the 80s to show that if you wanted to build a supersonic fighter that could do short take-offs and land vertically, a 2-poster with wingboard roll control configuration was the optimal solution - this, after about a billion iterations, eventually led to the F-35B Lightning II
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_Martin_F-35_Lightning_II#Program_origins
- was a lead designer in the team that replaced laptops with iPhones for Openreach engineers, thus allowing them to do on average 0.5 to 0.75 more jobs per day (any Openreach engineers on here please don't @ me to give me grief as I don't work in that team any more!) |  |

Don't worry, it changes a lot. They've got completely different symbols on it this series as the characters have all changed. Awesome job. |
The lad is 12 now and no longer into that. Tho it did get played with until the bearing wore out. Also had to reduce the clicker, for his parents' sake. |  |

Taking over a successful 40 year old manufacturing business in October 2019 in a management buyout and ensuring that a) it still existed, b) I was still able to employ 18 people and c) I still had my house after the end of the first lockdown in 2020.

With a childhood friend, we were part of a team of volunteers that helped build a school near Arusha in Tanzania. The most rewarding thing anyone can do. Not been able to head back to Africa since but certainly something I'm proud of along with nearly a decade of work in the NHS in the 90s/00s before the hospital I worked in closed. Some great friends made.
oh and being called 'petal' and derided by Herbivore and the TWTD mob ranks pretty high. |  | | |

Hmm, nearly an uppie but then the no pickles is a bit of a black mark. It can be done of course, but needs a special talent to pull it off (if you'll excuse the phrase).
One of the best burgers I've ever had was a homemade, but with home picked blueberries. Sounds odd, but it worked remarkably well. |
I’d give it an extra uppie for no pickles. What are those things??? |  | | |

Probably the best part of the burger?! Gherkins, pickles, cornichons, rollmops, pickled onions - don't care. If it's been soaked in vinegar, this correspondent will gobble it up (pickled eggs aside...). |  |

The ITFC FA CUP Anniversary show which got us an ARIAs (Radio BAFTAS) nom was a great day - I lost out to Sir Mo Farah and Joe Wicks
But this is my current favourite, amazing stories about the likes of Idles and Britney Spears.. with Ed Sheeran and some Suffolk content to land on Monday

Wiping my Dad's arse without throwing up (because he could no longer reach it owing to disability*). Unfortunately, I couldn't hide my dry wretching, so only half marks, although he bravely ignored that.
Caring is an vastly underrated profession.
* i should add that he normally had carers to do this, but sometimes they were unavailable or sometimes he was just desperate for a crap or wipe when they weren't around.
Edit 2: sorry to bring to tone down. [Post edited 13 Jan 2022 10:28]

No, full marks for you and massive respect too. My mum was in a care home for two and a half years and I more or less witnessed it all, but never had to help with more than a bit of marigold clearing up and that was rare.
The people that work in these places are amazing and whatever they’re paid (I know - not much) it’s many times less than it should be. | | | |

Branson pickle is a jar of joyousness and the pickled onion a thing of beauty, but the green wally in a burger? It’s a crime. Totally wrong. I’d have people that like that sort of thing sent for re-education. | | | |

Some years ago the job I had involved doing presentations a financial services events. On one occasion, Axa sponsored it and were doing the FA Cup at the time too and brought it along for the attendees to have their pictures taken for £5 for charity.
At the end of a successful day presenting, one of the lads called me over and gave it to me to hold. I held it aloft Mick Mills style and ran my thumb over Ipswich Town 1978. It was the original one Mills had held too (there were three then). What a moment.
On a more serious note, despite doing some varied and interesting things in my time, some of which have been in the public eye, I’ve done nothing to compare with the achievements of a lot of people on here. [Post edited 13 Jan 2022 12:14]

Most rewarding - definitely the people development side.
Most impactful actual work has been leading on some fairly major M&A transactions - cumulatively $100bn plus now I imagine. |
In this vein, receiving a text from a former team member thanking me for giving them a chance and saying it changed their life as they had just moved to a job they would only previously have dreamed about.
On a non-work side, booking a taxi on Christmas day to deliver a box of beer as a surprise to a mate who was having a tough time. He'd had to move back in with his parents and had just posted on FB how his dad had drunk all his beer on Xmas eve. It cost me a few quid but meant the world to him,
It's all about people. Anything else is superficial |  |

Bloke I work with has, for the past 4 years managed to take a sh1t at precisely 10AM every day he's worked.
He once worked out what he'd been paid simply for crapping and it was quite the impressive figure/ |  |

Worked on drafting successive and concluding EU roaming regs so people could use their phones abroad without fear of returning to humongous bills.
Definitely the biggest crowd pleaser of any law I've worked on. |  |
