*I once peed in Gene Wilder's toilet.

*Despite being really quite common myself, my god daughter is a direct descendant of William the Conqueror.

*When I was about 18 I found out that I have a step brother I had never been told about. Which was odd, given that despite having two younger brothers who irritated me greatly as a girl, I always fantasized about having an older brother.

... and co-incidentally I too have seen a UFO and have had a near death experience (in that order). And had never given either much thought until just now.

One thing I wouldn't know about you OP, is why you think this should be in AIBU????

Its taken me half an hour to get to the end of this thread!

Here goes:

  1. My grandad was a Romany Gypsy who was banished by his family for a) marrying a non-gypsy rather than his cousin who had been promised to him when he was 3, and b) refusing their offer of a trailer to live in a house instead!

  2. I recently donated eggs to my sister and she is now 10 weeks pregnant with her first round of IVF

  3. I miss my family in the UK a lot less than I probably should - including above sister!

  1. I have a vile and truly filthy obsession with squeezing spots - and my poor dh hates it.
  2. I once lied and said I was a black belt kickboxer. I am now engaged to said person I lied too and still havent told the truth Blush
  3. I still watch friends re-runs and love them over and over.

  1. I was in a Jackie photo story.

3.I'm an English teacher, but I find spelling very difficult.

Alouiseg · 05/01/2011 22:06

My dh has been on the front page of The Economist, his photo is frequently wheeled out by newspapers and magazines.

Sorry that was number 4 but I'm just getting inspiration from other posts.

Oh yes, I forgot the other boring fact I like to trot out on these sort of occasions:

When my god awful Secondary School was finally shut down it was used as the set for tv show Teachers. Andrew Lincoln's English classroom (where Kara Tointen and James Cordon were amongst his pupils) was actually my old history classroom.
If you watch the show you'll often see them walking down a corridor with a Solar System mural on the wall: that was the science block and my form room was on that corridor.

  1. I lived in Africa till I was 7. This meant I was born I'm the Congo, my parents were passing through. Hmm
  1. I was scouted by Sarah Doukas (she found Kate Moss) when I was 13. I have walked for major designers at the catwalk shows and have had 3 Vogue covers, not UK though.
  1. I snuck out of (boarding) school with my best friend to go to a Michael Jackson concert through the yr. 7 common room window. One of the nuns saw us coming back but as she was new we gave fake names. Never got caught. :o

I qualified as a professional (football) referee at the age of 14.

A former boyfriend's friend visited me two days after he'd been acquitted from the Old Bailey... and admitted he'd committed the murder.

I've ridden a bike (accidentally) into Jamie Oliver.

bambi I did read your other thread.

You have my sympathies, but it did make me snort with laughter. Any further fallout from other parents?
