Random fact about yourself

[alittlefickle]

Thought this might be an interesting thread topic :-)

You go first.

I have so so many.

As a toddler I sat in an Orangutans enclosure and the alpha male looked after me and loved me as if I belonged to him.

But I swear apart from having Auburn hair I didn't look like I was his

I don't know who my biological farther is, and if my analysis is fairly accurate, it may or may not help to give perspectives as to why their is the level of intrigue that people have with me, either that or if it's nothing to do with who my biological farther is, then what the heck, as either I'm strange to the high hills, (I think I am anyway,) but given different parts of the jigsaw that in my mind, I've sorta put together and if I have read the puzzle correctly, then their seems to be certainly a lot of intrigue, that people have about me, especially when I consider myself an average person so to speak.

Tis a mystery and I'm not sure I'll ever get the full analysis of why,

eh?

I work for Lisa Riley's cousin.

My godparent's parents were the inspiration for the Coronation Street pub couple. I don't watch it so I don't recall the details.

My next door neighbour's dad drove John Thaw's taxi.

I have a good science degree but failed GCSE science at school.

Paddy McGuinness was on the same plane as me going to America. He was in first class though and ahead of me at check in.

I served chips at the chippy to some famous guy I can't remember the name of now. I didn't know who it was at the time either. Martin someone maybe. Not Clunes. Some Mancunian guy.

Wow!! That's quite special. [/quote]
It was pretty incredible. I'm sure we are in lots of tourists' snaps, though they'd be disappointed to find we are not famous/royalty.

I have been to every continent and spent my 30th birthday in Antarctica. Penguins are awesome but stinky.

I have perfect pitch and synesthesia.

I was, involuntarily, groped by a man when I was 16! He went on to win an Oscar!!

My cousins are very well off. Jointly, they are worth billions... about $50 billion! Sadly, they don't share 😂

Jimmy Saville threw his sweaty glove at me and my sister when we were children spectating at the Marathon. 🤮

@godmum56

There's no one, off mumsnet I could discuss the theory with on that topic, but alais, that's all I can say on the issue, basically a mystery to myself, but one I have no tangible proofs, just theories.

I have a mole on my belly button

What is your random fact, @alittlefickle?
As a seasoned poster, I'm wondering why you haven't shared your experience, but are clearly expecting other posters to share theirs.

I had a perfect, rom-com level, swept-of-my-feet, heavenly, stars-sparkling kiss from a beautiful beautiful French man on a bridge crossing the Seine on a dark, clear Parisian winter’s night as the Eiffel Tower lit up with its twinkling light display just a short way away.

I thought to myself- “This is the most romantic moment of my life.” And although I’ve had many lovely, memorable moments since, it was.

They don’t call it French kissing for nothing. Sigh!

I can do a chin stand

I can ride a horse bareback.

I can spin for ages on one ice skate.

I have never used a microwave.

@NationMcKinley

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

I missed the 'extra' in this, and had to admit I was curious.

@popcornfrenzy

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.

Can you tell us the name of the thread please?

I can read upside-down.

(the book I mean, not me)

Ew @Babamamananarama that’s just reminded me - he used to try and overtake my friend when she was running in Roundhay Park - he’d be smoking a cigar whilst he was running. She came second in the London Marathon though so he had no f’kin chance.

I have an extra rib on the same side my mum is missing one.

yeah but i don't even understand your post?

When I was child Leonard Cohen came to stay with us and played his yet to be released record. My father said he's never stand a chance with his misery!

@Georgeskitchen

I once sold cigarettes to Dot Cotton 😂😂

I used to sell her everything weekly

When I was about 7, we lived on an estate near to a train track, right across from my building was a park and me and my friends often played in the park no supervision. One day was just me and one other friend and a strange man came down the side of the train track and full on flashed us. My friend was older and threatened to tell her parents but he said if we told anyone he’d come back and get us, he then ran back up the tracks, we’ve never whispered a word to anyone, I don’t even know if she remembers.

@barbrahunter

I have had a blackhead on my stomach since 2006

We need a sporner corner on this 😍

@Dee00

My grandmothers aunt died on the titanic.

Similarly my grandads mum was married to a man who died on the Lusitania, she then married my grandads dad 3 months later
