Competed for GB in alpine skiing
Almost killed in an Avalanche
Almost broke my neck by hitting a rock then a tree (while skiing)

Also almost killed by a bull elephant in Tanzania - walking along a path in camp when I hear breathing look up to see bull 8 meters away standing there swaying looking right at me. Slowly bent down and picked rock up and then slowly backed up to the nearest hut. The bull charged and killed a worker at the camp the following month.

That day I also jumped 25m on the long distance jump (but didn't win)

Pretty good going Uldis, the world record is 9m.

That's wrong, there's plenty of videos that show lots of bikers jumping a lot more than that.

The guy that won did 27m. that day.

Forgot to add that my Dad is pals with Jimmy Savile, so I've met him a few times, plus he's sucked my wife's knuckles (Sir Jimmy, not my Dad

Picture the conversation

Rossybee's dad - "Hey Jimmy, how's it goin?"

Jimmy S - "Now then, now then, not bad...."

Rossybee's dad - "I was just goin round to see my daughter in law, fancy comin along?"

Jimmy S - "Now then, now then, only if I can suck her n******"

Rossybee's dad - "What was that!!??"

Jimmy S - "Um, eh, I said only if I can suck her knuckles........."

Rossybee's dad - "Oh, thats alright then. Lets go"

I was always taught that it's rude to talk with your mouth full

Interesting that you point out it was Jimmy and not your dad......as if that is somehow makes it less weird
