Inspired by another thread, I was trying to think of a fun fact about me. I finally thought of one:

I used to work at the treasury and, apparently, my office used to be Winston Churchill’s bedroom. I’m not sure how true it is but I love to think it is.

Tell us a fun fact about you……

I used to own four chickens named after areas of the shopping forecast

My first (and most interesting) job was as the voice of a singing bear in an animated display.

Short story long -Hubbys friend caught a lobster for me, brought it to my house .I couldnt kill it cause i love animals So I put in a tupperware bowl with water , cut its zip ties off its feet drove 25 miles put it vack in the sea and it swam off , I was so happy .Had to get petrol on way to coast and was shifting in the car. I always wonder if the police had stopped me I would have been sectioned How would I have explained I was rescuing a lobster in a tupperware bowl that was on the passeger seat

I'm going to hazard a guess that she named them after areas in the shopping forecast..

FluffyBooBoo · 14/10/2021 22:48

Hahaha, shipping! That was not deliberate!

YesitsBess · 14/10/2021 22:48

I nearly got myself and my friend arrested in Italy (also lobster-related). We ended up hiding out in a strip club until things calmed down. Had a lovely evening!

My fun fact is that I have twice left cities very soon before they had massive issues.

One the morning before riots, the other the day before multiple terror attacks. I feel very fortunate.

I had a weird late night adventure with a guy who was on the run from the police.. when I was also on the run from the police.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 14/10/2021 22:54

There was a massive explosion by my house once it was so bad it was on the news and heard for miles.

I was out of town.

BeautyGoesToBenidorm · 14/10/2021 22:54

I was arrested in Moscow, along with a male friend, for soliciting. I wasn't - we were huddled together trying to light a cig in gale force wind 😅 The police must've been incredibly bored that day! 😂

My teeth are indestructible.
I've spent years and years being v overweight, for a good few years my only drink was coca cola, I gorged on sweet stuff all day, and my dental hygiene was shocking.
I'm just shy of being 31 and I do not have a single cavity in my mouth. Never have. My dentists are always fairly shocked.

I found out half my parentage was a lie after becoming a blood donor.I was also Gareth Bales cleaner.

Violin is my favourite instrument

OverweightPidgeon · 14/10/2021 23:44

I’m related to the chap that arrested Guy Fawkes .

I've started noticing faces in everyday objects and I can't stop!

I can ride a horse bareback. I have thighs of steel...

That's very weird Fluffy because I'm a harbinger as well. I've been about to go to places with bombs (three times!), knife attacks, and natural disasters. TBF I do tend to travel in less well-travelled places but still!

Let's never plan a trip together.

I came third on an episode of the weakest link.

That's as a interesting as I get.
