My grandmothers aunt died on the titanic.

I was one of the first people in the UK to get a qualification in Ufology.

I once had to get out of the way so I wasn't run over by Prince Charles when out waking in the glens.

Slightly further along the path we said hello to two women walking the other way. DM is adamant to this day that one of them was Camilla. This was well before they were properly public about their relationship too.

@ASDorNO I've been told a few times through my life from school, family, work colleagues, my partner etc. I have no friends Smile

I used to play kirby with Paul Scholes.

Several if my mates went out with Steve Coogan when we were in school.

A guy at work stole my idea and was awarded an MBE off the back of it.

The daily fail wrote an article about me after I posted a picture on here. A mate spotted my pic and alerted me. The comments were a mix of extremely flattering to bloody awful 🙈😂

But you have a partner so presumably they like you?

@AccidentalMindFuck

I was PA to a famous person. He wasn’t as lovely as everyone thinks he is.
I'm guessing Jim Davidson

I once sold cigarettes to Dot Cotton 😂😂

2018SoFarSoGreat · 25/03/2022 20:12

I was born with 12 fingers, cut off when a toddler. Perfect little extra pinkies, in proportion to the rest. Nails and all. Just think how fast I could type with 12.

fromagreatheight · 25/03/2022 20:12

I was used as a hostage at gunpoint in a bank robbery when I was 18 months old.

SpaceJamtart · 25/03/2022 20:14

I can walk on stilts and doing so was my job for a while

PennineWayinSlingbacks · 25/03/2022 20:17

Lord Julian Fellowes has sampled my shortbread.

Gingernaut · 25/03/2022 20:17

I am not a dwarf, but have disproportionally short limbs.

No blouses or trousers fit me and due to my long back, petite sizes don't fit me either.

Sparklehead · 25/03/2022 20:18

I have never grown a single underarm hair.

Butwhybecause · 25/03/2022 20:20

I spent a lovely afternoon chatting with a man who turned out to be a murderer who had been on the run for years.

AlexanderHamiltonsleftshoe · 25/03/2022 20:21

I have over 20 rubber ducks in my car. My family thinks that they are tacky, they probably are. But I love them so they are staying!

barbrahunter · 25/03/2022 20:22

I have had a blackhead on my stomach since 2006

zen1 · 25/03/2022 20:22

I exchanged pleasantries with Barbara Castle in the women’s toilets.

ShavingTheBadger · 25/03/2022 20:24

Ooh @Booboobagins we’re from the same area and possibly the same school if you also went to the same one as Messers Coogan and Scholes.

I’m the only one in my nuclear family who can wink, roll their tongue, click their fingers, and whistle. Not at the same time obvs…
