1)I speak fluent Arabic and French as well as English.

2)I finish my MA in 2 months.

3)I bought the Rubik's Cube (ready made), and told my dh I completed it. He's now too scared to move it in case he can't put it back :o

BelleDameSansMerci · 05/01/2011 20:04

Bloody hell I'm dull compared to most of you...

  1. My house "starred" in Where The Heart Is.
  2. I have a tattoo on my bottom (I'm quite "well groomed" and try to do an Audrey Hepburn-esque thing so this is out of character).
  3. I knew I'd conceived my daughter when her father and I were "in the moment"; I also knew she'd be a girl.
BelleDameSansMerci · 05/01/2011 20:05

Oh, we weren't trying to conceive, by the way and it shouldn't have been possible!

BikeRunSki · 05/01/2011 20:05

Another few:

  1. I have had tea with Johnny Ball.
  2. I have had laser eye surgery, but not for bad eye sight.
  3. I am allergic to coffee.

  1. I have played violin for the queen
  2. I have 12 Gcse's and 5 A levels at A/B but work full time at a fast food restaurant

scruffybird · 05/01/2011 20:06
  1. I can do the splits
  2. I have been on a Harry Potter film set

kattyo · 05/01/2011 20:07
  1. A comic did an impersonation of me in front of (and to entertain...) five presidents - including colonel ghaddafi.
  2. I have been on desert island discs - but not in this country...
  3. a group of unpleasant people tried to kidnap me - but were called off at the last minute by their leader.

(tootlefruit - me too, number 2).

Lucyintheskywithdiazepam · 05/01/2011 20:08

Clippityclop, my baby toenails are almost non-existent too! And the little bit I do have falls off (and grows back) regularly.

Oh, I've thought of some more:

  1. I had a drink in a bar with Bill Bailey
  1. Witnessed an attempted murder
  1. Had sex with my best (female) friend
OpenToLawSuits · 05/01/2011 20:08

Scruffy me too! The beach where Dobby dies in the latest film was filmed about 11 minutes from my house! I waited there like a stalker for someone to talk to me.

My husband was in the latest Robin Hood film with Russel Crowe.

Trebuchet · 05/01/2011 20:09

I once stayed overnight in Mo al fayeds mayfair flat and stole a tea towel.

I was a backing singer for a very famous person in the 90's for 1 night.

The most sensetive part of my body is the tops of my feet

Asteria · 05/01/2011 20:10
  1. My family has a hugely illustrious history brimming with kings, castles and scandal - and I'm a single parent living in a damp cottage...
  2. I have done the Cresta Run and Bob Skeleton - both hurt, lots!
  3. I haven't had sex for nearly a year - but remember it fondly...
BelleDameSansMerci · 05/01/2011 20:10

Three more slightly more interesting ones (although still not very):

  1. I used to go out with the son of a well known British "porn king".
  1. I once had a drink in a bar in Dublin with Robbie Coltrane. I doubt he'd remember!
  1. I have never been married and I have never been seriously asked. I am 45. I think there is something very wrong with me.
scruffybird · 05/01/2011 20:13

Open to law suits its great isn't it, we sneaked onto the set when it was filmed near us and I got asked if I was crew Grin always wonder what would have happened if I had said yes.

HeroShrew · 05/01/2011 20:14
  1. I have a freakishly awesome talent for ten pin bowling but never play as I can't bear the sensation of my fingers in the ball
  1. I can dislocate my own shoulders at will a la Mel Gibson in Lethal Weapon. I have yet to use this skill to escape from a straightjacket at the bottom of the sea, however.
  1. My eccentric great uncle had a pet armadillo and I inherited him (stuffed) when he died.
CDMforever · 05/01/2011 20:14

Belle Dame - was said Porn King Ben Dover? I met him recently at a restaurant.

OpenToLawSuits · 05/01/2011 20:16

Scruffy you're lucky they asked me to "not lean on the gate".

With my husband, one of the lower end assistants on the RObin Hood set, car broke down and Russel Crowe gave her a cheque for 10k as she had kids etc.

Aside from that apparently he was a right arsehole.

Hmm do you live in Wales?

InWithTheITCrowd · 05/01/2011 20:17

I sang on Jive Bunny's "Swing the Mood" and was also on Timmy Mallett's WACaday doing the "Singing in the Shower" segment

PurpleLostPrincess · 05/01/2011 20:20

Fab thread!

  1. I've had both big toenails removed - one of them has grown back, the other hasn't.
  1. When I was 4, I wrote to Jim'll Fix It asking if he could fix it for my Mum to have a baby. Hmm
  1. I have met lots of famous people as my Mum is a sign language interpreter and works at lots of different theatres - I was even on the front of a magazine with Cannon & Ball lol!

SalvadorDalek · 05/01/2011 20:21

I have 2 uvulas

I have seen ball lightening (Its amazing.I thought it was a UFO)

I can peel a banana with my feet

scruffybird · 05/01/2011 20:23

Open, 10k wow!
No, Wiltshire, they filmed a small part of Blood Prince near us in a very pretty village that they have filmed in before with the previous films, the pub was open right near the set, met Daniel and michael Gambon. Security did keep telling us to get back in the pub but we sneaked around the back Wink

FellatioNelson · 05/01/2011 20:24

What is an uvula? I could google it, but it would be more fun if you just told me. It sounds faintly gynaecological.

OpenToLawSuits · 05/01/2011 20:24

I thought Uvulva was one of those horn things they had at the football?

OpenToLawSuits · 05/01/2011 20:26

They filmed the Deathly Hallows near us, on the beaches and they close off all the roads us country folk need to get around Hmm.

Still I saw them filming. Then within 3 weeks Robin Hood was on the same beach with about 10 thousand horses!!

Exciting when your life is a blah as mine!

Lotster · 05/01/2011 20:29

Twirly- no, it was a local channel for local people Grin

ok if we're doing second batches:

  • I have healing hands (so I'm told!)
  • I once interviewed John Malcovich. I could have wet myself he was so intimidating.
  • Once on a FIRST date during which we did pub first and meal second (drinks + empty stomach + me = bad idea) I got up to go to the loo, passed out on the way, hit two walls and came to rest on all fours with my forehead on the floor.
I made it worse by groaning (involuntarily) "I'm so sorry, I have FALLEN .... I remember looking up at said date, who didn't turn around for fear of what he might see.

He didn't call again. Which us good because I had two black eyes and a fractured nose. Blush

SalvadorDalek · 05/01/2011 20:29

An uvula is the thing that hangs down at the back of your throat
