I used to launch rockets, and had one of them fail to go ten metres due to an underpowered engine, had one travel over a mile and nearly reach sub-orbit, and had one explode in the sky with the rest of the public school watching - the pilot capsule ejected but due to strong winds was never recovered.
I used to race go-karts, and ran at a world championship course wherein I finshed 14th out of 50 drivers. I raced a grand total of two classes - Junior Heavy and Junior Rotax Supercharges - and I won a single race in both categories

I have watched somebody's house burn to the ground - twice.
My partner at work was a British Soldier... his most notable placement was guarding Rudolph Hess - that is, Hitler's deputy.
