As a child I was on Playschool, through one of the windows.

Noshowlomo · 12/10/2024 22:13

@YabaJaba so you saw the doors as well? 🤩

Niceeyessweetheart · 12/10/2024 22:14

I'm allergic to the cold (as in anaphylactic allergic if I go in cold water that is too cold).

I went to the Olympics

I had a secret sister who I met for the first time 2 years ago

I have met many murderers

I'm actually very dull though 😆

I've always wondered, in that great mind of mine, that when a litter of sausage dogs are born are they all linked together in a bigly long string?

😂😂Hilarious!!

I used to dig up dead bodies for a living.
My dad married someone, then married them again but only said 'I do' once.

I have been a key witness to 2 separate armed robberies.

All persons involved were sent to prison For a min of 8 years.

I was savaged in the face by a dog at 6 yet miraculously have no visible scarring.

I have 9 half siblings I have never met.

I work in a funeral home

Now that's a super power, being florescent.

I published a book this week, but it was a bit of a cheat.

I own a collection of skulls and bones from various sources. One is called Yorick.

I've interviewed the descendant of a very controversial (but fascinating) French writer and philosopher whose name became attributed to some rather interesting things.

I design and make historically accurate costumes as a hobby. I can also swordfight on horseback.

Ooh, sword fighting while riding! Kudos

I stopped a bullet using just one of my ears.

🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😆😆😅😅😅

PleaseAskSomeoneWhoGivesAFuck · 12/10/2024 23:32

I have danced on Broadway

HedgehogB · 12/10/2024 23:32

I have sat on Des o’Connor’s loo, Terry Wogan’s lap, a rock star’s dining chair and Kevin Keegan’s swing …

honeyfox · 12/10/2024 23:41

I can age a badger by its teeth (not live ones).

I once had such an unusual benign tumour that my consultant got several papers out of my case.

It's so fun and for a few hours a week I feel like an absolute shieldmaiden! 🤣 DH and I fence together so we do battles at home. With kitchen spoons haha!

Also, danced on Broadway?! Was it glorious?

TheVofR · 12/10/2024 23:53

I have a police record for vagrancy (I won't be alone with this one I know 😕) but it is rare for someone in my line of work. I have a second cousin who was in The Jam.

Edited

It sounds a blast!
O, I was being slightly disingenuous; when I say, I danced on Broadway, I literally was on Broadway (not in an actual theatre!) doing a few 'hop, shuffle, ball-changes' as I stood on the pavement (frustrated tap dancer!)
However, and truely, I have drunk several shots of Jack Daniels with James Brown, and havexan MBE!

Monkeybutt1 · 12/10/2024 23:58

I have had dyptheria which I caught in England and a bat has shit on my neck, completely unrelated.

You're my new heroine for both! I hope he was bloody well pleased to meet you! I'd ask about the MBE but I don't want to make you feel outed - this is why I love these threads. You never know the interesting people you're chatting to!

AffIt · 13/10/2024 00:02

I've represented my country at top level in two different sports.

Most adults have 32 teeth: at one point, I had 42 (including wisdom teeth). The excess were removed, thankfully.

My IQ was tested and measured at 154 when I was 14. I now work in IT and I'm very good at chess, but I'm no Marie Curie. Either they got it wrong or I've wasted my life.
