Random fact about yourself

[alittlefickle]

Thought this might be an interesting thread topic :-)

You go first.

I have four different versions of Both Sides Now on my Spotify... (Joni Mitchell, Judi Collins, Glen Campbell, Ronan Keating)

I worked in the food industry for years - every male celebrity chef I've met is an arrogant twat except Jamie Oliver. Most were having affairs and very rude to staff.

I have a marksmanship level at shooting with a rifle.

I went clay pigeon shooting and I've still got the knack albeit it was with a shotgun which was the first time I'd tried that weapon.

I was given 24 hours to live her I was born

I posted on here about my job and the bloody Daily Mail picked it up - was fed up of people making stuff up about it. Thread is now in classics and the AMA topic was born off the back of it.

I've shaken the hand of a Nobel prize winner

I moved house after sitting only the maths paper for the 11 plus.
My new school made me sit my 11 plus on my own and the maths paper was the same.
I never told anyone.
I passed my 11 plus.

I finished 6th in the AAA championships (national championships) in athletics. Not saying which distance!

I have covid 😷😷

Went to meet some musician friends at a pub in the city one night .After a bit I started to notice a relentless amount of camra/phone flashes in my direction but I was sitting next to the musicians so not surprised.
Then noticed my friend giving me weird looks and nodding to my right . I was sitting beside Matthew McConaughey !

I’ve never slept with/had sex with anyone except my DH. And I’m over 60.

It is something I never ever talk about and only my husband knows as everything we have is joint assets/investments.

All I have is self acquired; I am not the brightest person but I’ve been incredibly fortunate with an enormous dollop of luck in my career, which adds to my feelings of not being worthy of my good fortune.

I suffer from imposter syndrome and crippling anxiety which is at odds with my material success.
An AMA would be a waste of time as I couldn’t explain how I’ve achieved what I have.

I will admit to having an incredible team of women around me who support my day to day life so I can put focus on one thing (work), much like a man would with an at home wife.

I have had sex with over 100 people, men and women, but everyone who knows me would never guess. I’m just an ordinary middle aged woman, happily married mum of two.

I was wrongly diagnosed with ovarian cancer. The oncologist woke me up after life saving surgery to say ‘ it’s not it’s not’

@FrankUnderwoodsWife

I am a multi millionaire and no one in my family is aware

I would LOVE that!

I started new job and was told the previous employee had left to go to work elsewhere in the entertainment industry and her name was Cilla Black.

I can belly dance

I moved house after sitting only the maths paper for the 11 plus. My new school made me sit my 11 plus on my own and the maths paper was the same. I never told anyone. I passed my 11 plus.

Once I went for a job interview and there was a few tests to complete before the interview, one was a maths page. I bumbled through it as I a shit at maths.

Turned it over when I had finished like a test at school and the answers were on the back.

I checked and changed any that were wrong. Got the job.

My first name is very common but somehow it's spelt wrong on my birth cert.

Bad luck! You have to "live" with the name on your birth certificate. I have to too for my passport, banking and driving licence.

I blame it on my Dad being too drunk and too "eager" to register my birth so the Registrar put me as X hyphenated Y.

I have met the president of my country, twice. He was lovely.

I'm hugely anxious.

I ride my super bike at ridiculous speeds around track. I’m 43 and old enough to know better. I wish I’d started walker in my life.

I have 2 extra nipples so likely would have been burned at the stake, once upon a time…… 🧙‍♀️

I once served a cup of tea to Rolf Harris in prison.

Could see the evil in his eyes
