I have slept with pretty much all my former male housemates (well, one bloke from each houseshare IYSWIM).
I had a one-night stand with a female friend (who later became a housemate, incidentally!!!). It has never been mentioned since.
Some of my best memories involve dancing all night on beaches. I'm about to become a mum (35+5) and fear it will never happen again.

  1. My parents have cohabited with another couple since I was 15, not because they are hippies or swingers, but because it's convenient.

  2. I don't like the taste of alcohol so rarely drink, in a medical when the nurse asked me how many units I drink in a week I lied and said 2 to 3 so she wouldn't think I was odd.

  3. I can touch my nose with my tongue.

crumbletastic · 05/01/2011 13:38

My mum is in prison and I'm happy about it.

My skull is held together with titanium plates.

I used to secretly eat raw sausages as a child.

  • I shave my big toes at the same time as when I shave my armpits.
  • I can't ride a pushbike
  • I have never met my father and do not know his first name

  1. I have strange eating habits. I.e. I eat the chocolate around a choccie biscuit and then eat the middle. When eating a meal I save what I consider to be the yummiest thing on the plate till last.
  1. I have a phobia of Ken Dodd.
  1. I would like to be a surrogate mum but don't think DH would let me.
TimeForACHEEKYWine · 05/01/2011 13:44

I have a phobia of birth and never want children again, i even plan to have everything taken away so that i dont have to risk getting pregnant, even though im on the injection.

My dads cousin who lives in Las Vegas is currently nearing the end of the full family tree of my maiden name and trying to find out if we are related to a famous arsonist Grin

I fell pregnant 3 weeks after becoming an item with my DH - we were married a year later.

queenofthecapitalwasteland · 05/01/2011 13:49
  1. My most embarassing moment was in high school PE when the teacher pointed to me and asked me to demonstrate a forward roll, I did the best one I've ever done and was really proud Grin... until I realised they hadn't really been pointing to me and the whole year saw me make a fool of myself Blush.
  1. It still replays in my head sometimes and I have to close my eyes, put my fingers in my ears and sing to ignore it.
  1. I really want to put my hands over my ears and go 'la-la-la-la it didn't happen' right now, but I'm in work Sad
thefirstMrsDeVere · 05/01/2011 13:50

This is a fascinating thread. I dont think I can compete.

1.One of my great granparents was a mercenary and was found murdered in a square in Camden.
2.I have always been rubbish at learning languages but was once near fluent in British Sign Language (use it or lose it unfortunately)
3.I once had a dog that would leap vertically upwards into my arms when I clicked my fingers so I could carry him down the escaltors on the tube (we were known all over the system,probably because I had pink hair, so did he, he was pretty large and I was about 6 stone)

thefirstMrsDeVere · 05/01/2011 13:51

crumble you could sort of put all yours together and write one of those books with a sad child in sepia on the front Sad.

CognitiveDissident · 05/01/2011 13:52

I was unconscious during my near death experience, so missed it all.

I have double-jointed ankles and thumbs.

My piercings set off metal detectors.

Fimbo · 05/01/2011 13:52

(1) I have spina bifida occulta, thus resulting in a spinal headache after my cs with ds as they inserted the epidural in the wrong place, dh now has a note of where any future needles need to be placed!

(2) I am a reformed nail biter.

(3) My paternal great grandfather arrived in my hometown in Scotland via Ireland and Liverpool. He was chucked out of the police force (still trying to get to the bottom of why) and fathered 12 children with his 2nd wife.

CognitiveDissident · 05/01/2011 13:56

The near-death/UFO combo is surprisingly common (I have also seen a ufo,but thought that having hypermobile joints trumped that!)

  1. A policeman once mistook me for a duffle bag.
  1. I once dreamt the answer to all the worlds' problems. It was a very simple, straightforward solution which I know would have worked. I wrote it down. When I looked at the paper in the morning it was nothing but meaningless squiggles.
  1. I am lonely - I would love to fit in with the rest of you, but I don't know how.
TrinityMotherOfRhinos · 05/01/2011 13:58

onlyjuststillme · 05/01/2011 14:00

i have suffered with depression and have
mild anxiety issues, everyone thinks i am very strong, composed and laid back.

I will challenge for the title of the worlds biggest procrastinator and i hate myself for it.

I sometimes have premonition dreams of really mundane things that i fail to see the significance of untill i am actually living the moment.

Fimbo · 05/01/2011 14:01

Trin - my mum cried at Scott and Charlene's wedding.

Goosey Sad, whereabouts are you?

onlyjuststillme · 05/01/2011 14:07

i would LOVE to dream with subtitles that would be awsome!!!

Though i can sometimes control my dreams by rewinding them and playing a part over again.

crumbletastic · 05/01/2011 14:08

Ha, not as bad as it sounds! Mum was a young teenage mother (first kid at 14, 4 kids by age of 20), orphaned, brought up in a care home, uneducated, got into drug dealing to support children. Prison has changed her, given her an education and made her proud of herself for the first time in her life.

No idea why I started eating raw sausage meat though, suprised I never got ill.

marge2 · 05/01/2011 14:08
  1. Family legend has it that our forebears captured Richard the Lionheart and held him captive!

  2. Bing Crosby and Douglas Bader have been in my house.

  3. I went to see Dr Who being filmed when I was a child. My Mum's friend was playing a human Dalek..thingy..and got us in. (DSs are very impressed by that one!!)

PennyDreadful · 05/01/2011 14:08

I recently helped my neighbour cut her 18 year old son down after he had committed suicide by hanging.

I have a phobia about answering the phone - not good when you run your own business. I wait for the message and call back.

I get through a litre of Gin every two days.

nickschick · 05/01/2011 14:10
