took me 676 messages to think of anything interesting, here goes, interesting or not:

My uncle started his own religion

Every time I argue with my DH (often), I imagine an AIBU thread to try and work out what the hell happened and who was indeed being unreasonable.

I still love American teenage films and I am 36.

GoldFrakkincenseAndMyrrh · 07/01/2011 06:54

Janos I have grade 8 theory too! It's actually weirdly useful at times. I'm still hurt that I was the only one in my school to pass it and noone cared but every other grade 8 was made a huge fuss of.

  1. I carry grudges for a long time (see above....)
  1. I outrank my DH in terms of military equivalency (but I am a civilian, not even in the reserves, and he is serving) but he is my line manager.
  1. I will be the youngest woman, at 24, in the direct line of both sides of the family to have a baby in over 100 years (on one side I was the first girl born in 120 years) assuming the next 15 weeks go to plan.

Janpa even! Silly autocorrect...

'Every time I argue with my DH (often), I imagine an AIBU thread to try and work out what the hell happened and who was indeed being unreasonable.'

I do this as well! Actually, whenever I'm in doubt about something, I picture myself seeking guidance on this or other forums, and then I imagine what the answers will be (I do know how crazy this sounds). Few situations are so perplexing that I cannot predict possible responses (because I usually know what is right, even though I may not be happy about it). This is also why I rarely actually write these threads for real. I want you all to know that in my head, you've all given me good, thoughtful, and well-received adviceGrin

ManateeEquineOhara · 07/01/2011 07:21

My right thumb has been dislocated for 10 years.

I used to give riding lessons to Vinnie Jones' son.

I was once on London Tonight having a Famous Five picnic in my living room and saying 'Lashings of ginger beer'. Oh and "George", when asked who my favourite character is :)

rockinhippy · 07/01/2011 09:53

This IS addictive ....lol

okay 3 more Grin

I too was born with a 3rd nipple, but strangely it gradually faded & flattened so that by the time I was a teenager it had all but disappeared, it is now little more than a faint birthmark under my left breast.

I once had a center spread article written about me in Gay News...but I'm not Gay

I am a fully trained Reiki practitioner, but was so freaked out by the experience of my first "healing" that I've never touched it again

Rillyrillygoodlooking · 07/01/2011 09:56

Obviously, MyBrain, my DH is always BU :o
Actually, if I actually tried to write down what happened it wouldn't make any sense as I get so confused and angry :(

rockinhippy · 07/01/2011 10:02

Oh go-on....3 more, as I couldn't decide on those above...haha

I once Danced with David Bowie, he asked me, & was very shy, but lovely, but I was so embarrassed by the attention it got from everyone that I made my excuses & all but ran off

I had 3 Teen Star crushes posters on my wall etc & in later years, by chance I met all of them, asked out by 2, & platonically (sp) shared a bed with 1 who became a good friend.

myself & a group of Girlfriends who loved to get drunk & sing our heads off wherever went, turned down the offer of a management deal & music contract, because we thought the Guy was joking, was a creep & told him he was only trying to get into our knickers....... turned out he wasn't & he went on to manage a very successful Girlband

slug · 07/01/2011 10:28

Spenguin, I had a friend with that condition when I was a student. It has something to do with IIRC excessive histamine reactions. During the summer he used to take his shirt off and we would lightly scratch intracate designs all over his back, then he'd run around looking like he had madly pink tattoos.

swanandduck · 07/01/2011 10:39

Ny great grandmother and great grandfather were commonly believed to be brother and sister as well as husband and wife

My brother was once named (in Ireland) as one of the most influential people of the year

My sister and I once came joint first in a beauty competition

taffetacat · 07/01/2011 10:43

mckenzie - DH used to work with him - City?

philmassive · 07/01/2011 10:57

These are so interesting. Amazing how many quirky and interesting people can be on one site!

Mine will let the side down, however...

1)I once sat in a bath with Robbie Williams (don't get excited, no water in it and fully clothed)
2) I cannot ride a bike, and quite honestly, just can't get my head around how they even work.
3) I once sold a story about fraudulent dealings at my work place to the Sun and never got found out.

  1. My DH has a truly enormous penis. It took me about a year - and much lube - to be comfortable with it.
  1. My father is a world-renowned transplant surgeon.
  1. I am famous in Pakistan.
loveulotslikejellytots · 07/01/2011 11:09

Ok here goes mine:

  1. I am 21 in 5 weeks time. I have only just put my 'comforters' away in the loft. And this was only after some persuasion from DH. He is having no success trying to persuade me to stop sucking my thumb.

  2. I knew that I loved my DH the first time I met him. I was 14 he was 19, he was dancing with his then girlfriend at my Dad's 40th Birthday party (he works with my Dad). 2 years later my Dad came home and said that he and his new girlfriend were having a baby... I cried myself to sleep for the next 2 weeks. A year later dh and I met another birthday party and he started talking to me, it turned out his girlfriend had been seeing someone else behind his back and was pretty sure the baby wasn't DH's (she later had an abortion). Although I felt sorry for DH, i wanted to scream right at that moment because I was so happy. We are now happily married, TTC very soon!!!

  3. When at school I was determined to stay in education for as long as possible, get a very good job and be a career woman. I met DH as I started my A levels, hated school after 5 years of constant bullying, left before I completed my A levels because of a minor breakdown, moved in with DH shortly after at 17, engaged by 18, married at 20. DH and I have just bought a bigger house and I have an ok job that I love that pays the bills and i'm happier than a pig in shit! Grin

frozenfestiveflo · 07/01/2011 11:34

My ex husband married a clone of me - but shes older and fatter!

I have worked with a company to develop a new piece of equipment that is about to be delivered to maternity units, I have no medical, design or engineering experience

My husband won a superbike in a competition and we went to lots and lots of superbike meetings for free that year for a presentation that never actually happened!

Alouiseg · 07/01/2011 11:51

Mckenzie & Taffetacat yup definitely city, dh and I both worked in the same place as him. Jamie Olivers sister worked there so did some ex eastenders actor and Darren Emerson of Underworld fame.

Same place?

evenkeel · 07/01/2011 11:58
  1. I was once involved in a building-society hold-up, but didn't realise what was going on and actually pushed the thief out of the way in exasperation as I stalked out of the branch unharmed.
  1. I was the first, and am so far still the only, member of my family to go to university.
  1. I do not have, nor have I ever had, any wisdom teeth.
taffetacat · 07/01/2011 12:05

Oh how funny yes Alouiseg DH has certainly mentioned JO's sister as well Grin

Gogopops · 07/01/2011 12:22
  1. I was part of a syndicate that won £500k on the national lottery (shame over 60 of us in the syndicate though!!)
  1. When I was about 10 and out at sea fishing with my dad our boat was followed by a massive shark for miles.
  1. DH and I played a sick joke on our kids. When our dog was castrated we pretended that the vet had given us the testicles and proceeded to eat them in the style of 'Im a Celebrity'. They were really two tinned lychees! Kids were amazed disgusted. Joke backfired on us though when DS told her teacher!
clumsymumluckybaby · 07/01/2011 12:46

oh i have one more...

i was less than 3 feet away from a whale whilst in a tiny (motorised) dingy...Shock

i stuck my head under the water (with goggles) to see better,

it was the most terrifying,amazing thing i have ever seen.

theDudesmummy · 07/01/2011 12:49

Sorry I know this relates to an entry a long way back now, but Vagosaurus asked if I knew my XH was gay, answer is yes.

mckenzie · 07/01/2011 15:09

Alouiseg and Taffetacat. Yes, city is right, in the late 1980s. I don't remember the other person you are talking about though. It was at Warburgs that I worked with him. Same place??

Alouiseg · 07/01/2011 16:05

I was referring to Liffe, but I'm sure Warburgs had a floor presence, or he could have changed companies by then.

taffetacat · 07/01/2011 16:21

Liffe here

Namethechange · 07/01/2011 16:27

I'm bisexual and not one person in rl knows not even my dh . I really really want to be a rockstar despite having no musical abilities . I often think of kinky sex with whichever famous person I happen to like at the time whilst doing mundane jobs . Goosey loosey I'm sorry you feel like that mn is a very good way of easing yourself into making new friends .
