A fun fact about you….

[Still1nLove]

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 came 6th in the national championships for an athletics event.

Globally, I play in the top 10 of a few boxing type VR games. It’s very weird as seems to be a natural talent rather than something I need to practice. It just is.

I told Rolf Harris to fuck off

I was in the papers as I ran into a burning house to save a dog when I was 12. After reading the article my mum slapped me round (lightly) the head telling me I was not brave but bloody stupid.
I didn’t find out till my 50s that the minds eye was an actual thing. I felt, no feel absolutely robbed that I can’t see imagery in my head. It explained why I am shit at recognising people.

I got pulled over and arrested whilst driving abroad!

I used to live in Leigh Woods in Bristol,walked across the Clifton Suspension Bridge daily,once stopped a man jumping off.I was with my two flat mates,two of us held onto him whilst the other ran for help.It was nighttime in the days before mobile phones.

We all got a Thankyou letter from the Police.

I was assigned to escort Desmond Tutu to a turn-of-the-century event in Washington D.C. We had forgotten to hire a car so I arrived to collect him in a limousine and he was mortified.

I've also saved my DH life
Twice

Bamber Gascogne saved my life. I was looking at my phone and just stepped out into traffic like a Death Wish muppet and he grabbed me and threw me backwards out of the path of the 337 bus.

I was a clue in the Sun Giant Crossword

Once gave Ryan Giggs a taxi ride home

It was for work both times. The first was Halloween 1996 flying from Southampton going north. The window fell out of the plane. The plane tried to get down to 11,000 feet but couldn’t maintain. The flight attendant collapsed. I smacked my head on a tray table and after we landed, the paramedics were trying to persuade me into an ambulance and I wouldn’t get in as I thought my hair was wet…

The second one was three weeks later, going back to Southampton. I still had the black eye. They lost an engine 5 mins after take off, then the other engine was spluttering. Landed in a field.

The airline went out of business a few weeks later.
