Servalan it certainly was. I was thirteen and had no idea it was ending, came as a nasty shock when I sat down to watch! After twenty years of brooding, found three GIANT holes in the plot that allowed for continuation, so I just filled them (! surprisingly easy!)and scratched an itch that had been bugging me since the BBC copped out ended the series.
If Mr Darrow is reading this, can I borrow your rights if we split the profits Wink!

Brilliant thread! But it has taken me a shocking amount of time to read it all Blush but just couldn't stop! Grin well now for me... 1. My great grandmother blocked a black and tan soldier from shooting her brother in-law who was a freedom fighter and was hiding in her kitchen, she stood in front of him with a baby in her arms and screamed at the soldier he'd have to shoot through them both to get to him and my grandmother said the fire in her eyes scared him so much he cursed them and left! Tis actually mentioned in a book! Said book is illegal in the UK I'm told, but my cousin "smuggled" it in with him when going to live in Wales (the big dare devil Hmm Grin ) hmm its hard picking between things isn't it! Ok... 2. I used to co-drive with my father to our local shop (mile there mile back) when I was about 10 and both his arms were broken. He'd do the peddles I'd steer... Good parenting Hmm 3. Dh and I elopped (sp?) exactly one year after we met. My little sister told my mother in a matter of fact sort of way a few years later... Gosh this thread is so much fun, mine are no good beside yer's! Oh oh can I throw in another one? Iv a big wound on my butt with lots of navy blue stitches tis the second time in my life iv been told I look like a patch work quilt, first time being after my episotomy with ds2 was all stitched up and I made the mistake of asking what it looks like. Hadn't actually asked what my ass looked like but my lovely nurse offered the info Grin

brownbug78 · 08/01/2011 11:05

Ooh, I'd like another go too, I've thought of more!

  1. I went to school with John Craven's daughter (she was a little older)
  2. I then worked at the same school some years later and took Kelly Osbourne on a weekly boarders' ice-skating trip when she was 11.
  3. Sting's guitarist asked me to have sex with him. I ran away. Blush
swanandduck · 08/01/2011 11:29

I went to school with someone who became a renowned author

I have a relative who was a nun but left the convent and ran away with a priest

I work for someone who is extremely well known and important

Mummy2Bookie · 08/01/2011 11:29
  1. We plan on moving to Australia
2 dd has a beautiful, but quite unusual name
  1. Ihave picked out the name of next dd( but have no plans to get pregnant for at least 3yrs)
AnnOnimous · 08/01/2011 11:39

I am so inspired I have thought of three more.

  1. I had to go to hospital by ambulance twice, on two separate foreign holidays in different countries, five years apart, both times with the exact same injury.
  1. I have appeared in a Canadian pop video.
  1. My hubby was a body double in a Mills and Boon romance :)

AnnOnimous · 08/01/2011 11:55

I misread happy bubble's post as ''arthur scargill's lover''.

TimeForABrew · 08/01/2011 12:12

Ooooh I'm having another go!

  1. I like the way the words "halcyon" and "cheviot" look but not how they sound.
  1. I think of a year as an anticlockwise circle.
  1. I am lagging behind my parents, my mum speaks 4 languages, my dad speaks 3, I speak 2. I could be doing one of those " learn a language in 10 mins a day" programs instead of being on here [it'll never happen emoticon]
VoldemortsNipple · 08/01/2011 12:37

I own a first edition signed book written by Jack Jones but never have and probably never will read it.

The best experience of my life was done on a whim. Raleigh International 1992 Malaysia

I have only slept with one man. I lost my virginity at 19 on my first date with DH

moonlitmountain · 08/01/2011 12:56

What a fantastic thread!

Here goes mine...

  1. I was on Blue Peter when I was child.
  1. I had a machine gun pulled on me in a Honduran back street.
  1. In my youth I committed credit card fraud. I got away with it but am often haunted by it in weird dreams.

  1. Despite being a massive animal lover, I DESPISE cats - I literally want to throw them away from me if they come close
  1. The volume on TV/radio has to be on an even number - if it's on an odd number, it FEELS like it needs to go one up or one down Confused
  1. After a hideous birth with DS over 3 years ago, I still feel physically sick whenever I see a pregnant lady/hear about somebody expecting. Needless to say we're not having any more!
meantosay · 08/01/2011 13:29

I was once a witness in a murder trial

My dh proposed to me in hospital

Myself and all of my siblings work in very creative jobs but my father was an accountant and my mother was a history teacher.

rockinhippy · 08/01/2011 13:51

I'm having another go too :)

Seems I might have a couple of distant relatives on here :) (if I've read correctly, no guarantees of that today Confused

I too am a related to Robert Scott (of the Antarctic), he was my Grandmothers Great Uncle & when small I remember taking a few of his possessions to School for a "show & tell"

way back, my Dads name was apparently on an IRA hit list, & as his work place was bombed, meaning it was taken very seriously our car etc was always under close scrutiny & regularly check for car bombsShock

I too can gut & butcher animals & fish, despite being a vegetarian

After a very real, but bizarre & scary dream a month or so ago, which had me waking up & discussing getting a survival kit together, & having DH laughing at me for announcing we need to by 1 of those multi task scouting knives, & teach DD how to forage & prepare wild food Blush......I am now getting irrationally twitchy over all these freak bird & fish deaths Confused

NoWayNoHow · 08/01/2011 15:09

And some more... (three is not enough!)

  1. I was on the Antiques Roadshow when I was 8, and was filmed berating my younger sister for climbing under the table and embarrassing me on TV
  1. Pre DH, I met and slow danced with Dr Cox from "Scrubs" - fell a little bit in love with him, but never saw him again...
  1. I am another secret smoker - never in front of my DS, and only when around other smokers. Feels like a remnant of a "life less responsible", and helps me cling on to who I am outside of being a mummy.
charlotteolivia · 08/01/2011 16:22

oooh I've got some more too..

1- My cousin is famous for being one of the only English men to be training as a professional bull fighter in spain. The Times love him....

2- I broke the hand off a porcelein figure of my mums when I was thirteen, and never told her, just glued it back on really well. She took it to get valued last year and she was slightly confused when told that "if it was in a perfect condtion madam it would be worth nearly 10 times as much"... I havent confessed yet, but myself and all of my siblings have been interrogated!!

3- I am very very ticklish and can't stand cuddling after sex as dp always tickles!!

CameronCook · 08/01/2011 18:45

I have seen a UFO but not yet had a near death experience.

I have preauricular pits - people often ask if I've had the top of my ear pierced. The only other person that I know of with prearucular pits is dsis.

I am related to the alledged fifth member of the Cambridge Five

SalvadorDalek · 08/01/2011 19:24

1 I have been on the Trans siberian express 2 times in the days of the Soviet Union (I like trains)

2 I started a facebook group called Cheesyworld for people who like cheese but closed it down 6 months later because nobody joined (I like cheese)

3 I would like to swap bodys with DW for a day so I can have sex with myself(I want to have a taste of the pleasure that I have given to women over the years)
It is not a gay thing, its just that I am quite dishy Smile

moonlitmountain · 08/01/2011 19:43

And three more!

I've never ever needed a filling.

My carrot cake won first prize in a local agriculture show.

Until last week I had never seen The Godfather part I or II (I'm half way through III at the moment).

btbetty · 08/01/2011 22:06

I sat at the next table to Robbie Williams in a restaurant one time.

I am an athiest.

When I was a teenager I had a job as a roller skating waitress :)

emmanana · 09/01/2011 01:13

  1. I had a tooth emerge in my eye socket...
    Long story short: Age 35, hard lump developed just above eyelid, size of a small pea. Had brain scan etc to make sure it was not connected to anything. Removed under local anths. Sent to path lab. Verdict - Baby tooth. Fairly rare, but apparently as teeth develop and move into jaw in womb, one can often go astray and often take decades to work their way out, in my case, just above my right eye...

  2. I'm related to Peters and Lee on my Dad's side... (SOMEONE must remember them)

  3. I have a levels in biology and geography, shockingly moved down from CSE mathematics group and scraped through with grade 4 CSE arithmetic.... I am shit with numbers!!!

It's taken me 2 hours to read this thread - love it. I'll be back with more in the morning

P.S If I am having a dream, then wake up, go to the loo, get a drink etc, (fully awake) I can will myself to go back into the second 'part' of the dream, bit like sky live pause :-). But can only do it on the same night, not on a consecutive night
AND I have a simian line on one hand.
