Not very exciting in comparison to most of you but...

  1. Rolf Harris drew me a 'Rolferoo' (sp?) when I was 9 to cheer me up Grin.

  2. I have number-form synaesthesia and only recently found out that others didn't see the world this way Blush.

  3. The character of 'Fletch' in 'Porridge' is (allegedly Hmm) based on a jailbird relative.

This thread is brilliant!

  1. I was in New York on 9/11
  2. I was in London on 7/7
  3. I was in Louisiana when Hurricane Katrina hit

I was concerned for a while that I was living a real-life version of "Final destination..."

BellaMagnificat · 05/01/2011 19:26

I've suffered from altitude sickness in the Himalayas.

I loathe shopping malls and christmas.

Despite being on Mumsnet, I have no children so hope this isn't creepy.

Catnao · 05/01/2011 19:27

I can't stand my cousin who lives up the road.
I knew I was pregnant and pretended not to, so that continuing the pregnancy was a fait accompli when I "discovered" I was pregnant.
Nigel Havers stole my lighter 15 years ago.

shoshe · 05/01/2011 19:30

I have been married 3 times.

I have had 15 pregnancies (but only one surviving child)

I have Lupus ( yes it is a real disease, no just something on House)

TyraG · 05/01/2011 19:33

I've been swimming with the sting rays in Grand Caymen and LOVED it!!

My mother reads tea leaves and saw me meeting DH.

I met DH on Match.com in June 2004, we met face to face in July, moved in together in September, got engaged in October, and were married October 2005 (I was 4 months pregnant with DS).

earthpixie · 05/01/2011 19:34

I am very unsettled by watching TV footage of very large objects (like blue whales or the Titanic) that are deep underwater.

I spent a night sleeping in the British Museum.

Jeremy Paxman has winked at me.

Alouiseg · 05/01/2011 19:40

I have a simian crease on my left hand, so does ds2.

I have a bicornuate uterus.

I can lose 10lbs in a week and put on 6lbs over a weekend.

MedusaIsHavingABadHairDay · 05/01/2011 19:40

I can taste metal with my finger tips.. cheap cutlery is unbearable to touch as it gives me a HORRIBLE taste in my mouth. ( a rather useless talent as well)

I once left my baby changing bag in the RAF social centre.. and found it surrounded by the bomb squad about to 'diffuse' it when I returned a few hours laterBlush

I had a makeover in Woman magazine.. and they cut my long hair off!

lololizzy · 05/01/2011 19:40

1/ I once had a fling with someone i shouldn't have (or so i thought) and lived in guilty fear of his partner finding out..only to discover yrs later that she fancied me and got off on it! Confused

2/ I have seen angels, spoken to many dead people including publicly and had an email from an angel (and am perfectly sane!)

3/I had to once calm down Michael Winner, who was throwing one of his famous tantrums

PhishFoodAddiction · 05/01/2011 19:40

When I was at uni I went for an interview at ASDA and failed Blush. The lowlight was when they were talking about how old I was and I realised I'd put the wrong age on the application form (17 instead of 19) oh the shame.

Compo from Last of the Summer Wine once helped me into the back of a van (not in a kidnappy way) and I couldn't stop giggling because he was famous. I also once ignored Jimmy Saville and pretended not to know who he was!

Once when I was in the car with my dad, a plane flew down really low over us (could see the markings on the underneath of it) and we were convinced it was going to crash on top of us. No-one believed us when we told them but we both thought we were about to die!

VagosaurusRex · 05/01/2011 19:42

I was evacuated out of Lebanon in a Greek war ship when Israel started bombing in 2006.

My DH's paternal grandfather was a German soldier in WW2. His maternal grandfather was a Hungarian Jew who had been deported to Auschwitz. I am of Arab descent. So, my DD is German/Jewish/Arab, raised atheist.

Very shamefully, I once had sex with a cousin.

lololizzy · 05/01/2011 19:44

Back of a van with Compo! love it!!

MumGoneCrazy · 05/01/2011 19:45

I didn't finish school because I got pregnant at 15 and the school asked me to leave
(apparently for my safety but a few yrs later my sisters friend got pregnant and stayed until 8months I left at 4months when a classmate told the teacher)

All of DP's family hate me cos they believe housework is womans work and I should be waiting on DP's every need...Both me and him disagree with them.

DS is allergic to penicillin..we found this out when he was 6months old and was given it in hospital while in with bronchitis

PhishFoodAddiction · 05/01/2011 19:46
