3 things Id never know about you

[NorwegianMoon]

I am unsure to whether this has been done before but here goes mine...

1. I had a near death experience

1. I saw a UFO fly over my house

1. I am a Muslim

now go!

1. Did a kiss and tell (am very ashamed of this actually)

1. While smiling and chatting to someone i'm having a hilarious (to me) sarcastic conversation in my head.

1. I laugh at my own jokes/thoughts.

God i sound evil don't I? I'm really very nice

everyone already knows everything about me!

I love all the lists so far.

i'll try though:

1. my degree was materials science, and I got ridiculously excited when watching the 2nd Christmas Lecture this year, as it was all about microstructures and materials (Superalloys got me especially excited because they're made from nickel and that's where I got my NN and shop name from). I spent the whole of the rest of the evening boring showing DH my Materials books and talking about nickel superalloys and Young's Modulus.

2. I can't do anything that involves me having my hands above my head (painting ceilings, changing lightbulbs, tying up curtains etc) without feeling dizzy and faint.

3. I can pitch perfectly, but only when noone else can hear me. (i'm convinced of this )

My great-great-great-great grandfather taught Sir Henry Irving how to act (vv. famous late Victorian thesp.)

That's the nearest to fame any of us have got;no Titled ancestry or anything like that.We're all rather dull and unassuming (and 100% prole).

1. I too can bite my toenails.
2. I'm about 40, but my FIL was born in 1900. His first wife's first husband was killed in the First World War.
3. I've walked hand in hand with a man who'd been head of a guerilla army's intelligence forces and was later imprisoned for treason. He grabbed my hand as a social thing - I hope!

Catinboots do you live in the southwest by any chance?

I can trace my family back to the 1600s - this is because they never moved out of a collection of 3 villages and were all farmers or labourers and never did a bloody thing interesting.

I am basically Larkrise in DNA form.

One of my ears is pointed at the top.
I suffer from Cluster Headaches.
I want another baby.

I have a signed picture of Jimmy Cricket

My surname is a brand name.

I lived in Egypt for 2.5yrs

I once choreographed a Panto for a play that went on tour around Northern Ireland.

When I was at school I had a picture put on display in a local art gallery.

I am the first person in my family to get a degree.

I was married at Gretna Green

I am the youngest of a very large family

In the harsh weather I slept in my clothes

Ok... some more that i've never disclosed to anyone

My late DH was he first person in Britain to legally have the sex on his birth certificate changed because it was wrong.

I was never quite 'good enough' for my mother who thought i should have started procreating as soon as i'd left school. I wanted a career. We disagreed.

I once was about to give a BJ to a minor celeb and nearly puked as he had a cheesy knob.

I used to skydive but am too afraid of heights to bungee jump

I have lived in 5 countries and speak 3 languages

If anything happened to DH (god forbid!) I would cover myself in tattoos. I love them but he hates them

Love this thread, not very interesting here though, no UFO sightings, no near death experiences.

1. I loved dinosaurs when I was little

1. My dad used to be a catholic priest

1. I have a black belt

Trying to think of stuff that makes me sound interesting...um...

I have tap danced with Roy Castle. I used to write and perform stand up comedy. I have problems dialling tel numbers

Have thought of my other two:

• dh once was offered camels for me. It was a lifetime ago, and I think the guy was joking. Still, I remind dh of the fact every so often.

• I was in a horrible car accident when I was young, and at first they thought I wouldn't survive, and then they thought I'd never walk properly again. I survived (obv), and thanks to excruciating physio sessions 3 times a week over a year, I am fine.

• Number 4 really, but a sad one. My brother was in same accident when he was 12, and they thought he wouldn't survive either. He was in a coma for 2 weeks, and the hospital sent him home with my parents as they said there was nothing they could do for him, and that he would have serious brain damage for the rest of his life. Miraculously, after intensive therapy over months, he recovered completely. The doctors were amazed. He went on to finish school with good grades and went to uni etc. Then he died about 10 years later from an aneurysm - all within 30 minutes. I often wonder what the point is.

I have no feet

I am an ex trapeze artist of Eastern European renown

I have 37 tortoises and 16 hedgehogs (two albino)

1. I have just spent a very long time reading this thread (funny, sad and worrying in about equal measure).

1. I once made herbal tea for John Cleese

1. I once wet my pants at school. Secondary school.

OK. . .

I am dyslexic - undiognosed until university.

I've written most of a children's novel - haven't got round to finishing it.

My grandfather was a Crofter on the Isle of Skye

I almost died when i was 18

I worry about absolutely everything

I knew i was going to marry Dh the very first time i saw/spoke to him .

1. I have a picture of Gareth Gates, which he signed for me, that one of my eight year old pupils randomly got for me ages ago. Makes me smile every time :)
2. I was a different person after my sibling died
3. I have had an argument with Joan Hickson

1. I have copped off with someone who is now a famous actor in America (and the UK too I suppose)

1. All my life I have known I would never give birth

1. I met the Krankies

Oh no, very sad for MissSalLaneous and very (that's sick, not envious) for deemented . I want to know who the cheese-knobbed celebrity is now ...

Others of mine now I've read more of the thread (and feel slightly ashamed of the sackings and drunkenness I previously owned up to :)):

1. I'm nearly 16 weeks pregnant (I have not put on a single pound and look basically the same as before)
2. I've only ever slept with one person, my DH (who was also my childhood sweetheart).
3. I am a (high-heel wearing, lipgloss-loving) Feminist with a big fat capital F.

1. I nearly crashed into Stephan Fry while punting

2. I chased the london whale along the The thames, then find out the 'whale' was actualy a christmas tree floating in the curent
   Later on on the news was a clip of the whales rescue with me on the bank looking at a statue

3. Me and DP are about to try for a baby
