The 3 things I don't think anyone else on my friends list has done meme.

1) Used a loud speaker to separate icing sugar from caster sugar.
2) Worked in a Blacksmith's forge.
3) Been in the commentary booth during an England cricket match.

{edit}
Darn, 2's been done. Let's try going high tech.
2) Created an online tool to keep track of site updates.

#1: GCSE science project that got out of hand.
I'd decided to study what effects the critical angle of sand piles*. One factor was the size of grains. However commercial granulated sugar wasn't uniform enough for me, so I got distracted and started mucking about with a loud speaker, an frequency generator, and a strobe.

Bizarrely my final year project was a follow up from the previous student's work in sandpiles.

#2. He had the last working forge in Hampshire apparently. And spent most of his time making railings for the council :( Glad to here someone's still doing it.

*OMG, the article that inspired that project is free online now!

I've done 2 on a blacksmithing course, and made a rather nice little knife as a result.

3 - During Test Match Special? With chocolate cake? Fruit cake?

Possibly. It was the first cricket match I'd been to, and my Uncle new a few of the opposition, so snuck us in. If I'd know about TMS back then, I'd have baked a cake for sure!
