Random fact about yourself

[alittlefickle]

Thought this might be an interesting thread topic :-)

You go first.

I once got my chubby little hand stuck in a school fund tin and nearly got caught by the teacher 😮😮
I wrote and published a book when I was 52.
While visiting Memphis in 2017 I was offered a lift on a shuttle bus by a kind lady who insisted we travelled with her... getting on the bus we realised that it was Elvis's guitarist James Burtons wife, behind them sat Elvis's step brother and Roy Orbisons son and grandson ( all named Roy Orbison!!!!
I also worked with a man who went on to try and blow up his wife 😮😮😮

I had a romantic fling for some time, with a famous foreign man. He returned home after some time, and the next time I saw him, was on the TV, showing his funeral in his country.

@SnottyLottie

I was one of the hundred people asked a question on Pointless. I was asked a question on my university dissertation speciality and stopped a celebrity couple winning a jackpot for their charity by one point 😬😆

How did you get to do this?

I was a national champion in a sport as a youngster

I have represented Wales at kayaking, I’m not Welsh.

@ShowOfHands

I've slept in the same bed where Reggie Kray died many, many times.

I thought we only died once 😬

@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.

Do you have a link please 🙏

Olivia Coleman was my best friend before she became famous national treasure

@Ruralbliss

What stopped her from being your BF? Are you still in contact?

I had sex with an Air Emirates air steward in the airplane toilet. Yes I was drunk.

I can not see clear images in my head. I can occasional get a flash like a photo but I can't hold on to it.

I also don't recognise people when I see them in different settings. (This doesn't happen with my immediate family and closest friends) So for example my next door neighbour of 7 years who I have seen almost daily, been to their house parties, put a fence up with. I didn't recognise him when I saw him in the pub literally no clue. The worst is other mums from school, I can know their name, child's name, have chatted many times but if I see them in the shop no clue who they are. Makes me feel really rude and people never understand.

I went to the wedding reception of a band member of The Cult with my grandmother. He was her neighbour.

I helped deliver a baby to an 19 year old student who genuinely did not know she was pregnant. A few hours later she got up, put her clothes back on and walked out of the hospital.

I found out that she told the Police , and Social Services, that they had the wrong person and denied she’d been pregnant and given birth refusing all attempts of counselling or even postnatal checks. I have no idea what happened in the end.

Me too! This is so similar to my post. If I am trying to imagine or remember conversation with people, they are always headless.

I have both my nipples pierced.

I got drunk with Damien Lewis and sat next to him at the.piano singing and playing. My sister said it was the most surreal night of her entire life. Sadly I remember very little. BTW Damien is lovely.

@Booboobagins name and shame? Or at least tell us your idea, you deserve some credit!

@Ohdofuckofdear I'd love to know more! How did he look af6er you?

@alittlefickle go on...share some gossip!

Ruralbliss so you knew her when she wasn't Olivia Colman?

Why are people being so coy about naming the famous person they've known?? They are hardly going to track you down and sue you.

Pointless to post if you are saying "I knew an anonymous person at an indefinite time" on an anonymous page forum 🙄😂😂

@PollyPutTheKettleOnKettleOn

Without naming (cause I was sworn to secrecy and my friend has now passed so don't want to 'betray' his trust) - there are many A listers that portray themselves as being straight (married/kids etc) but are absolutely not. It's just for the media.

There was a married couple who he photographed who were as loved up IRL as it appeared in the media (at that time).

Drugs were rife. He heard a few celebs speaking to their assistants to contact their London dealer to get them crack/heroin, again these people you would never think did that stuff as they 'appear' to be clean cut and into healthy living.

This was going back a few years so they could now in fact be clean from drug use, but you'd never know as they live a charade.

Anyone could say anything here

I used to date a famous England captain. He was very nice but didn't like onions or garlic in any food.

I was at Pete Postlethwaite's funeral and spoke to Desmond Tutu

@barbrahunter

I have had a blackhead on my stomach since 2006

😮 get it popped

@ShavingTheBadger

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…

Your the chosen one Shaving The Badger

I'm 30 and haven't had sex or been in a relationship for 9 years out of choice.
