If I asked you to tell me an interesting fact about yourself...

[Regularposteripromise]

What would you tell me?

I had a conference call today, there was one person from each department of the large company I work for. To break the ice the senior manager asked everyone to introduce themself and give one interesting fact about themself. I despise things like that, I'm quite shy and just completely froze when it got to me and ended up introducing myself followed by 'I'm insanely shy and find things like this painful' luckily the host laughed!

So what would you say?

I have a good sense of humour

I read the original story of Robinson Crusoe. It was the The Story of Alexander Selfkirk, a naval officer who was stranded on the island for 4 years and 4 months, the years 1704 to 1709.

My ex has a few top 10 songs and I have an original demo of one of them as he sent it to me post break up

My dad got pied by the chuckle brothers at a kids show

The latter is my favourite of the two facts!

My friend and I won letter of the week in Just 17, plus the funny photo we created was printed too. It's been downhill since then, career-wise tbh.

I can eat fire.

I'm a beauty queen

I used to play the first/oldest inclusive rugby union club.

I once performed with said rugby club at Heaven, it was cringe, luckily I was very drunk.

That I talked my way in Russia without my passport.

I'm still 😲 at My brother was the milky bar kid !!

I am bilingual. I don’t need to think about what I’m going to say next in English and the other language. I switch from one to the other without thinking about it.

I have two metal plates and 19 screws on my right leg after an accident.

I can go to a Catholic Church service and know all the prayers/songs/order of service off by heart. Had that drummed into me for years. I no longer attend, but occasionally a wedding/christening crops up.

These are ace!!

I was the voice of a Cadbury's online campaign for a relaunched chocolate bar

Sadly, the webpage has been archived now but it was there for a few years with me saying 'oooooh, chocolate-y' in a sexy way amongst other things.

I can dislocate my jaw and pop it back in. This would need to be a visual so prob wouldn't work on a conference call.

My work used to do this and I can never think of anything. I can remember the first time they ever used it - maybe 1989 - you were allowed to opt out if you felt it was unprofessional, so I did.

@0nwardsAndUpwards ha of course you can! I worked in ABC commissary in hollywood studios and I also worked in Casey's Corner in magic kingdom.

I loved it, really hard work and rubbish pay though haha. I was on the Disney Summer Exchange Programme which was for college and uni students for a Summer. I was Summer 2012!

@latheritup now I’m desperate to see what you look like

I've knocked myself out there times as a child.
In all 3 occasions it took ages for me to come round.

I was once asked to be a spy.

I had sex in a canoe, while it was afloat, 😉

I’ve had a private tour of the Kremlin including Tsar Nicolas’ private chambers! Amazing!

Once upon a time, about 30 years ago , i could tell you the currency of any country in the world.
Not now, too many changes...

Do i win the prize for the dullest interesting fact?☺️

I was on the front cover of The Guinness book of Records with a giant lemon.

I've been pregnant three times but only have two children

I was taught the cello by Prince Charles's cello teacher.

I wasn't very good but apparently was much better than Charles; you've got to hold on to the little things.

I almost died last year , needed emergency brain surgery and have a big old valve in my head now

I failed to stop DS1 from calling David Cameron a twat when we were at a party in Number 10. Thankfully DS's speech is not very clear so he didn't realise. I did though and found it greatly amusing and it was a proud mother moment.

One that is not such a happy fact/memory is witnessing my DM holding a kitchen knife to my DF's throat when I was 9. Thankfully she saw me and stopped.

@puds11 there's no way I could describe myself without sounding arrogant, I will leave it up to your imagination
