5 Things Most People Don't Know About You

[Franck]

Well, it's almost Christmas, and with fewer nights and parties to talk about, I thought it would be an ideal opportunity to find out more about each other...
No, not another favourite book / film / breed of dog / etc.. thread, but something more personal...

So here goes, use this thread to reveal 5 things most people don't know about you!

I'll start:

1- Despite being French, I am actually half Russian (well Ukrainian actually)...
2- From age 13, my ambition was to become an interpreter at the UN
3- I dislike ice-cream :sick:
4- I used to play / sing in bands and performed for the Pope in the Vatican...
5- I roast my own coffee beans (imported from Hawaii) for my home espresso.

So here we are, surprise us all with your own revelations! :nice:

Franck.

5? Right then....

1. I currently have a small fungal infection on the big toe nail of my left foot.

2. My favourite Country is Singapore. Thinking about starting a Ceroc Franchise over there if I can ever be bothered to move.

3. I hate ALL vegetables apart from Chips/potato, baked beans, corn on the cob, and runner beans. (Brussel Sprouts are the Testes of Beelzibub)

4. I'm a Bible basher, and was the lead vocalist in a gospel band singing to 300-400 per week. (Got the sack for telling the Church what I thought of Sprouts)

5. I boil my own water for my instant Gold Blend (imported from Sainsburies).

2. I studied voice at university, and sang the bass solo at the university Christmas concert to about 1000 people.
3. I love travelling in the States, and so far have visited 30 out of the 50. Gonna get them all one day...

5. I quite like to dance. Occasionally. But I'm just a beginner.

[Basil Brush (Forum Plant)]

1. I popped out into the world in 18 minutes, and weighed nearly 10lbs (not bad going for the Brush family).

2. My hair turned blonde for a whole summer when I was 2 years old- most strange.

4. My music teacher said I was one of very few children to have perfect pitch, and she used me like a cheap oboe to tune the school orchestra.

5. I once had sex whilst driving on the motorway to Aberdeen- very dangerous I know, but without doubt worth the risk.

[Lorna]

5 things you may not know about Lorna:

1. I used to be the leader of The Lanarkshire Youth Orchestra.

[list=1]
I'm a chronic asthmatic

[/list=1]

[Tiggerbabe]

This thread does lead me to wonder if anyone will be interested but as it's fun - here's my 5............

1. My surname (Assiph) is not Arabic or Indian. My husband was born and bred in Dundee and it actually originates from Ireland.

2. I love animals - presently sharing my home with a white alsatian but would love my own horse.

3. Have never been in hospital other than to give birth to my children - I was born at home.

4. Have done the Tay Swim twice and also the Bridge to Bridge (Rail to Road!) - please don't ask why - I'm sure there was a perfectly reasonable explanation at the time for jumping into freezing cold, filthy water and staying there for far too long but I'll be damned if I can remember what it was:what:

5. Loathe and despise prawns - don't even like to be in the same room as them (not always easy at this time of year!).

[Gadget]

Hmmm...five...
1) I have a two year old daughter named Logan Zara and another sprog about to pop on my birthday (well, not me personally :sick: )
2) I have had artwork commissioned by a teacher in secondary school (painting), students at university(lab coats & leather jackets), and a couple of playgroups (gable walls, friezes, posters...) to name a few.
3 I have spent more than one night in police cells (soggy cornflakes for breakfast :( )
4) I don't like tea or coffee or alcoholic beverages.
5) I am an eternal pessimist; that's why I'm so happy - I expect things to go badly and am pleasantly surprised when they don't.

[Emma]

Ummmm.....having disregarded the urge to Make Things Up (undercover agent, champion ice-skater, fluent in Arabic etc etc)

1) I can roll my stomach like a belly-dancer.
2) I don't 'get' alphabetic order or left and right.
3) I used to be a vegetarian but having lapsed I'll now try any foodstuff (once).

[Graham]

1. I can sometimes be funny and/or interesting (just stretch your imagination a little!)

I don't think I want to know how long the wedding night was (was it in Lapland :wink: )

Re. inventions, I wonder what they are... Have we got a Sinclair in our midst??? :nice:
I find this seriously impressive... I would love to be an inventor / creator of some sort... but apart from a few Ceroc moves (which probably existed before anyway), can't say I have been successful...

2) I grew up in Oakland, Oregon, USA (where I'm at this moment), a town of 850 people (hence the reason I left; no CEROC there!!!).

3) I always dreamed of living and working in Europe as a kid (and it has come true!).

4) I enjoy cooking, but only do so when I get hungry!!! (I actually won several state awards as a kid, preparing meals in front of judges).

5) I enjoy running, having run two marathons and some day I plan to run the Marathon de Sables (a 7 day, 150 mile run across the Sahara in the middle of summer :sick: ).

[JYork18]

Well, it's been a while since I last posted, but this thread seems harmless!! As an aside, isn't it interesting how many people that dance CEROC also play an instrument; sing... etc. I feel a research project coming on... Hmmm....

OK, 5 things

1) Before I discovered dancing I played table tennis, and in 1991 was UK under 16 champion. (Then i found out what happened inside pubs!)

2) I Qualified as a swallowing specialist following my degree in Speech and Language Therapy

3) I was a cub leader (scouts) for 5 years before Uni

4) I was head boy at school.

5) It is my ambition to live and work in the USA.

Isn't it strange who readily we bare our souls to a forum!

[Fran]

to add to it everyone elses

1. I am an airforce child ( youngest of 4)and at one point we had every branch of the forces in the family which also included parents, grandparent and in- laws. - thankfully they are all out now - I was the blacksheep and did not join, I guess I could have decorated the married quaters though!:wink:

2. Won a few design competitions and Young Scottish Business Person of the year 1991 - Uk finalist.

3. Very dyslexic. very bad self confidence.

4. Always make my own christmas crackers

5. my real name is Frances Stephanie Goscombe.

fran:nice:

[Heather]

:D ...and probably don't really want to either:wink: :wink:

1.As a child, I was the proud winner of a Blue Peter Badge for winning a Dress designing Competition.(So what happened to my good fashion sense, I hear you cry!!!!)
2.As a student, I was voted Dundee Students Charities Queen, which will come as no surprise considering my charm, wit and personality!! LOL
3. Like Imelda Marcos, I have an obsession for shoes, although I have thrown lots out , I must still have over 100 pairs (which is OK if you are a centipede).
4.My great passion is singing Grand Opera and Arie Antiche (16th, 17th and 18th Century Italian Songs), I have won several awards in Music Festivals and have been having singing lessons for'x' number of years !!!(You'd think I'd have got the hang of it by now ) :wink:
5.Having graduated from the Marks and Spencer School of Microwave Cookery, I am highly accomplished in the use of microwave buttons!!! (Seriously, I can actually cook, and my friends say I'm good at it, but I prefer to be taken out for meals - open to offers!!!:D :D )

I was being slightly dramatic, but a "normal" wedding day in Scotland would be to have the ceremony, followed by a reception with a meal and speeches, and then dancing in the evening, usually with some additional evening guests. We did these things, but because Wendy's dad was recovering from cardiac surgery, we thought the full day would be too much of a strain and split the "evening reception" onto a different day entirely, which was three months later.

Okay, this is probably more than you wanted to know, but if you're really interested you can follow this link (http://l2.espacenet.com/espacenet/viewer?PN=EP0811922&CY=gb&LG=en&DB=EPD) and this one (http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=/netahtml/srchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=5,781,558.WKU.&OS=PN/5,781,558&RS=PN/5,781,558). But the more succinct answer would be that they're to do with electronics.

Incidentally, my paternal grandfather died and my dad's surname was changed when he was adopted by his stepfather, otherwise I would have been called Sinclair! But I don't think I'm in Clive's league. (Fortunately - he's still trying to live down the C5!!) :grin:

[Jayne]

Here's my five...

1) I've done a bungee jump from the world's tallest bungee tower - but, like Gus, I'm scared of heights.

2) My eyes change colour - they appear to be blue, grey, green or even hazel. They're mainly blue though...

3) I've never had a broken bone or a childhood infection (measles, mumps etc). She says whilst touching a huge plank of wood... :what:

4) I used to play basketball and was (briefly) in the Rugby Junior team.

5) Contrary to JYork18's comment I cannot hold a tune in a bucket, I'm tone deaf, I can't read music and I've never played an instrument (unless holding a guitar upside down and strumming randomly after having consumed a *couple* of units of alcohol counts....). I can find a beat in the music but little else... :tears:

Jayne

[Fox]

[Ronde!]

Wow, this thread is fascinating! By way of response in kind...

(1) I was conceived in New Zealand, born in Singapore, grew up in Australia, had my first full-time job in the UK, and each of my parents speaks seven distinct languages (and not all the same ones), but I only speak English above basic conversational level!

(2) I was hit by a minibus when I was 10; when I was 18, I became great friends with a girl in uni... we later discovered that she was a passenger in that minibus. We'd met at Law School.

(3) I love making extraordinary desserts and cakes, and have made three fully tiered, iced and decorated wedding cakes.

(4) I'm a fully qualified superhero. :) I worked my way through uni as a children's entertainer, with a professional portfolio including Batman, Spiderman, Robin Hood, and various Star Wars characters as well as generic clown/pirate characters.

(5) I got my first computer when I was 19 (at which time I didn't even know Microsoft Word); by the time I was 25, I was an IT Team Leader and Project Officer and owned my own IT consultancy business.

Live passionately,

[Sandy]

Very impressive! I did my best to understand but don't ask me any questions on it!:sick:

Happy New Year one and all.

Not sure I have anything to add to this topic but will go and think about it!;)

Sandy

[Sandy]

[i] surprise us all with your own revelations! :nice:
[/B]

Nothing too eccentric but what the heck!

1) Born as a product of the "orange" and the "green" - Protestant mother and Catholic Father - best outcome of being totally non bigotted. Mother and father had to elope to get married, changed days thank goodness

2) Have a twin brother who is tall, blonde, clever and handsome! is it fair NO. I also have twin boy and girl - the boy is fair and the girl brown haired like me, pretty fiesty with it!

3) I used to swim competitively (but don't look for my name in any record books!) and also played a lot of badminton

4) I walked the West Highland Way along with 3 others and had the time of my life despite torrential rain, midges and sore feet!

5) I love to laugh, dance and generally have fun but am also a very mixed up person ie very confident one minute and a basket case the next!

Cheers and roll on the next Ceroc night as I am suffering terrible withdrawal symptoms!

Sandy:wink:

[Ron]

Hi Franck.

Just thought I'd say HAPPY NEW YEAR when I'm brosing here. Hope you haven't been drinking too much champagne and espresso.

1) I play the harp, and have a small business playing at weddings and functions.

Includes: Darth Vader's from original trilogy; Darth Maul's double ended one and Darth Tyrrannus' funny handled one.

6) I need to get out more.:wink:

[Dreadful Scathe]

I never bothered with this before as Im not very interesting, but managed to think of a few things since..........

1) I used to be a bouncer (I did Kick Boxing and elements of Jeet Kune Do for years)

2) I have never borken any bones but have been in two car crashes as a kid - one was in the paper as it was so spectacular...car left road, skidded down a hill , rolled several times and came to rest next to a river. I grazed my knee. Ouch!.
2nd crash was a side on collision with a car that chose to do a 3 point turn in the motorway in the fast lane in a storm. I cut my lip that time. Both cars were SAABs .(advert BUY SAAB :) )

3) My Mother had just turned 15 when I was born so I was adopted. Having traced my roots though I now have regular contact with all 3 familes (real mother, father and adopted family) and we all get on great. I am fully Scottish but my real father moved to US when he was 17. Technically Im from Dundee but I was born in Edinburgh. My name at Birth was David Anthony Hill.

5) I wrote my first computer program when i was 9 ...10 print "hello" 20 goto 10 - my programs havn't got any better since :) I now have more than 10 computers - not all of them PC's (as Franck will be pleased to hear :) )

Seeing as it's a bit quiet just now, here's my 5.

1. I was a rower when younger - Scottish Championship winning crew and 4th in Britain once (back in the days when I was fit)

2. I moved around a lot as kid (6 towns in 9 years) and now dislike travelling!

3. I run the immensely popular Dumbarton FC website, On The Rocks (http://www.ontherocks.org.uk). (OK, I'm lying about the "immensely popular" bit. It's more a labour of love.)

5. I live 1/3 of a mile away from DS and 2 miles away from Franck.

They are quite low (in comparison to Edinburgh, Glasgow)

You can get a 4 bed detached (newish) house for around 100,000 in Falkirk.

And it's only 20 minutes by train to Glasgow and about 30 minutes to Edinburgh.

Steve I'm no economist, but Franck must contribute quite a lot to the local economy (petrol, feeding the family) and DS's electricity bill with his 10 computers on must be huge.

Would Falkirk survive if they left?

[nessie2611]

1. I used to play lead trombone for the Birmingham Schools orchestra (many years ago!) I wanted to play the clarinet really but sort of fell into the trombone. My husband, Alfie, actually bought me a clarinet a couple of Christmas's ago so I am trying to learn.
2. I have sung solo at Birmingham Town Hall, Stratford upon Avon Theatre and a Church in Harbourne. My voice has declined since I discovered cigarettes and alcohol :confused:
3. My eyes also change colour, they are normally hazel, but do shine green when I am angry !!!
4. I met my husband Alfie while he was in the Army and I was working in the same barracks in the NAAFI based in Windsor and proposed to him on the leap year in 1988. We had only been going out together a month!!!?:wink:
5. We have a 14 year old daughter and have been together for 15 years but only married for 3 years (4 this September):what:

Whoever said that love at first site dosen't exist!!

Take life by the horns and live life to the fullest

3. Gained my degree (History) at Aberdeen UNi

The necromancer’s at work again:nice: – but seeing as there are some newbies on the forum thought that there might be some life left in the old dog yet. Five thing about me...

1) Speak good Russian, but not fluent, and have skinny-dipped in the Barents Sea, -8/9 with wind-chill and ice on the sea (have pics to prove it:blush: )– those were the days.

2) Have no time for ‘Love at first sight/soul mate’ stuff – would rather find love through hard work, determination and tenacity.

3) Had a phenomenal ability to play the flute when I was MUCH younger, after 6 weeks the tutor was lining me up for youth-orchestras. Had to stop for various reasons and never took it up again:sad: – but have started to learn the harmonica.

4) Contrary to point 2, I’m actually a whopping, great big soppy sentimental git. Grrrr. For some reason this surprises people who meet me for the first time. Ignore the scowl, it’s a defence mechanism for a shy lad.

5) I don’t lie – period.

Hmmmm these aren’t particularly humorous. Well, haven’t had a cigarette in 5 hours, so not feeling too funny.
:nice:

[Niall]

1) I was born in Ballinamore, County Leitrim in Ireland.

2) I've worked in Dublin, London and Aberdeen and I am currently stranded on the 7th Floor of Paveletsky Tower in Moscow, sort of wishing I was at home preparing for the Champs in October.

3) I've done 202 Munros (82 left) but have done very many since I discovered ceroc - need to get my priorities right???

4) I don't swim very well and am not keen on any form of water sports.

5) I used to be a season ticket holder at Pittodrie (home of Aberdeen Football Club) but got senses (...oops, my pals are going to kill me for writing that!!!)

[michael]

Goodness there must be hundreds of things!!!! But here are five.


1. I believe that basic common sense is the most underrated
aspect we can have.

2. i used to think people like Lawyers and accountants were
really smart people. Now i know they are just like the rest of
us?

3. I rarely ever lie which means that most folk believe i am not
telling the truth!!!! strange world?

4. I dont hate anyone! Me rarely has bad thoughts on people as i

This thread is great. Here's my five;

1) Have been in the Air Force for 8 years and think it's the best job in the world.

2) I have metal pins in the right hand side of my jaw after breaking it playing football some years ago!! Just like to add it was against the police, and yes, before anyone asks, he did get away with it!! British justice at it's best...... Bitter? Me?

3) I've had a broken collar bone, broken nose, broken toe and broken jaw all from playing sports of some sort.

4) The only thing I can say in German is "Excuse me please, I have fried my testicles" Not sure how useful that is.

5) I have a big mole on my right leg and when I was born my granfather thought my mother had stubbed a cigarette out on me.....!!

P.s I'm going to cheat and add a sixth. I put my entire dancing ability down to the fact I have FC as my missus... and she's a task master... but I love her..

I am pretty much an open book so it's difficult to put something here that people don't know. Particularly if The Tramp is people:wink:

It's even harder to think of things that are intresting. Here goes..

1. I am gay - I'm a male lesbian:devil:

2. I've never watched a football match.

3. I sometimes get d and g mixed up when I'm writing.

..this is harder than I thought:what:

4. I have a half-sister, my mothers daughter, who I didn't know about until I was 30.

5. My grandfather was a florist.

Now that I've done this exercise I realise how much I've given away about myself - I'm definitely not the strong silent type:tears:

[Dan Hudson]

Ok here goes

1. I was Bexley London Borough fishing champion at the tender age of 14 and went on to fish for Kent

2. My Cd's must be arranged in perfect alphabetical order ad I know exactly where they all are.

3. When hanging out washing, the pegs must be colour co-ordinated.

4. I once dislocated my shoulder at a ceroc night.

5. I have just become a dad.. callum Jack. now 2.5 weeks old!

4. I was born on my brother’s birthday, but we are not twins

5. I spent the first day of my marriage in hospital (making my new husband a cup of tea poured boiling water over my hand – took the kettle to the teapot whilst holding both) – still got the scar to prove it, but the husband has gone

1) I have a ridiculour fear of primates. Just seeing a monkey makes the hairs on my neck stand on end; thank you Boomer! :sad:

2) I have a phobia of people being sick on me and will actually shake if someone says they feel unwell. I think this is why the only food I can't stand is rice-pudding...:tears:

3) I've been caught in the middle of a hurricane while on holiday.

4) Am pet mad and have owned too many (my fathers words) animals over the years, from stick insects, mice, rabbits, dogs, cats, horses, tortoises etc. etc. I am probably the only person who's turned up at the front door with a horse that nobody else wanted!

5) I have been writing a book for about two years.

Dear Mr Lizard

This thread is supposed to be about 5 things people DON'T know about you. If you were on radio millions of people must know. If you drove through central London naked some people must have noticed:devil:

The reason my 5 were so boring was because I had to put in things The Tramp didn't know about me - although he did know I'm a male lesbian I think he kept it quiet:wink:

There are a number of things I know about you that no-one else does - you know what they are and I'll take that information to the grave with me - mostly because it's not very interesting to all but a handful of people:devil:

Thanks Boomer, that means I can go ahead with things that MOST people don't know:-

(Specially tailored for Pammy and Minnie)

1. Despite being related to loads of sailors, (including Chay Blyth) I am straight (in the sense Andy might not agree with), & having spent time on the Drum with Richard, Bob, Paula, Simon, I have sailed nothing bigger than a trainee windsurfer.
(ie Branson, Geldof, Yates and Le Bon)

2. I spent 6 hours on a ferry in a hurricane, everyone was being sick over everthing, I finally succumbed 5 minutes before we made it into the harbour.

3. Apart from that I have only ever been sick 4 times, twice from food poisoning.

4. I "retired" aged 36.

5. If my Mum hadn't been so mad keen on ballroom dancing, I might have started early enough to be a good dancer. :sad:

3. I paint as a hobby

4. I'm very allergic to horses and cats

5. I have a phobia of men with long nails! yukkkkk

[Minnie M]

This is such a good thread AND we have so many new forumites I thought I would dig it up:wink:

[Divissima]

I've had to think quite hard about this one, but here goes...

1. I am left-handed but began life more or less anbidexterous - I am still odd with my right- and left-sidedness. Can now write with my left, can only use a spoon with my left, but bat with my right, use scissors in my right, can use either hand for computer mouse (what can I say, I'm just a freak :sorry:)

2. I am a keen amateur photographer - my best ever result was getting a photo published in the New Zealand Daily Herald (of Amir for a feature they were doing on him)

3. my hair is naturally this colour (all power to the gingers!)

4. I have always been useless at every sport I have ever tried - except dancing (some may say even my dancing is fairly questionnable :really: )

5. I was hooked on dancing after seeing the show offf 42nd Street as a child - wish I'd given it a go much earlier

[Eva]

Some of us are a little slow on the uptake but here goes with my selection.

1 My first proposal of marriage was from someone who became a national TV celebrity .

2 My daughters have been members of the British Childrens' and Junior ski teams.

3 I do a lot of public speaking ,as part of my job , my largest audience was approx 700 people in Berlin.

4 My Maiden name is Burns , I am from Ayrshire and my family swear we are related to the famous Rabbie.

5 I hate liver.:)

[Minnie M]

Wow Eva :really: I'm impressed

- this is such a good thread

[Claire]

1. I use British Sign Language at work. (I actually think signing should be taught in all schools, as it is such a useful language and very useful when communicating across a crowded dance floor or through windows!)

2. I don’t have a middle name on the basis of my mother’s snobbery. It was going to be Claire Michelle but when my mother was in the hospital she was discussing names with another mother in the bed next to her who pronounced the proposed name like this - “Claire MMM-yyyyy-eeeeeeeeeeee-shell” and my mother refused to name me it after that as she didn’t want people pronouncing it the same way.

3. I did an exchange with an American student when I was in sixth form for a month and a half. This meant I got to dress up and go to prom, which was so cool at that age. I had a wonderful time (but never did see John Travolta there!…~chuckling)

4. I am severely anaemic. Although the more interesting fact is the way in which it was discovered. It was actually discovered because I used to eat (or still eat if I am low in iron) an outrageous amount of ice cubes. I would work my way crunching and biting through an entire ice bucket in the pub or alternatively ice cube tray after ice cube tray at home. I have even been known to drive out in the middle of the night to a 24-hour supermarket if I had run out of ice cubes so I could buy them ready made. Sometimes I would venture into a fast food place solely to get a cup of ice to crunch. I even bought cola and tipped the cola away so I could get at the ice. Anyway I now use this method to know when I am low in iron again (as soon as I venture to the freezer!) (Alternatively I could take the tablets properly but they are horrible!)

5. My ring tone on my mobile is the theme music from Zelda which is the best ever game from the Nintendo range!

1. I was separated from my two brothers for over 20 years before being reunited.

2. I'm a past director of Mensa but got fired from a temp job as a shelf stacker in a grocer's "because the job requires some intelligence".

3. I've got a post graduate degree but never did a Bachelor's (first degree).

4. I wrote to my local church minister at the age of 15 formally renouncing Modern Day Christianity (ironically, my father later became a lay-minister for the Seventh Day Adventists).

5. I was thrown out of college for a) outing the sociology teacher for plagiarised lessons; b) being a bad influence on other students (I must have smoked pot twice!) c) using my free periods to enrol at the Art College and secretly study at two institutions at once; d) riding a motorbike without a helmet but wrapped in a multicoloured blanket (it kept the cold wind off)!

At least those are secrets I can tell you for fun without hurting anybody else!

Interesting as I do a few things left handed and always have including eating, throwing darts etc.I have scored 180 left handed but can hardly hit the board right handed !

My dad was even more odd as he would write left handed play snooker bowl left handed but play tennis and other sports right handed (and always did)

My uncle was consider 'odd' being left handed at school and his parents were told to 'watch him' as being left handed in his day wasn't encouraged.:blush:

1/ Had far too many jobs to count, including, Mowing lawns at age 11, newspaper boy, Shop assistant, Barman, Labourer, screw and nail packer, Milkman, salesman, bus driver, lorry driver, mechanic, telephone engineer, Telecoms manager, Management consultant (own company), dance company owner and teacher, IT trainer, Management skills trainer and now thankfully retired at the age of 40. Although still get involved as an advisor for other peoples businesses (just for friends).

2/ Used to do my homework at school during the lessons with my right hand, whilst writing the dictation, notes with my left hand. (due to lazyness, NEVER did homework at home)

3/ Started up a bike "club" whilst working in a bikers bar at the age of 17, which later became a Hells Angels chapter (got out a few weeks before that happened thankfully). Still know most of the old faces and feel safe in that environment.

4/ Broke my nose twice, once whilst representing my town at hockey, stick, full swing, in the face. Once competing in full-contact Kung-Fu.

5/ Still can't dance too good, fake it and pick a girl who makes me look good. (some of you may already know that though :blush: )

Ok, I've just spotted this thread, so here's 5 things about Me:

1 - I am an IT manager
2 - I play the guitar and compose my own music.
3 - I once got the train out of London to York, thinking I was on the tube.
4 - I love giving and receiving massages.
5 - I believe that love can change the world.

So what does this all show? Well I would say:

1 shows that sometimes I think with my left brain
2 shows that sometimes I think with my right brain
3 shows that sometimes I have no brain to think with
4 shows that sometimes I would rather be in by body than my head
5 shows that sometimes I think we just need to live from our heart

In case you're wondering, dancing Ceroc exercises the right brain... so at least we are in our right minds! :rofl:

[Minnie M]

Another good thread to bring back:wink: for all the new members

[Bex]

Must look at the chit chat section more often, just seen this and its fascinating, so here goes with my contribution:-

1. My great, great, great Grandfather was the first man to swim the channel, Sir Captain Webb.

2. My dream as a child was to be in 'Legs & Co' on Top of the Pops (showing my age now).

3. Once met Boy George in the Ladies loo's at the Limelight on Shaftesbury Avenue.

4. Have a reacurring nightmare that I'm falling to the ground but still managed to get tricked into parascending by Billco on holiday one year :confused:. :tears:

5. Was dragged kicking and screaming to Ceroc 7 years ago by a friend I used to work with - I was convinced I'd hate it :sad: . I lost touch with this friend when we left the same company and haven't seen her for years. She probably doesn't realise that I've been teaching Ceroc for the last 3.5 years or that she was the one who introduced me to my future hubbie either :flower:

1. When I was 5, I grabbed a sparkler by the wrong end after it had just gone out, luckily my very thick gloves saved me from being too badly burnt.
2. The smell of coffee even makes me sick, I used to love it when I was a kid, but I spilt a cup of it over me when I was 6, and scalded myself, and have hated everything about it ever since.
3. I stuck a backscratcher almost all the way through my right cheek when I was 7.

Oooooh, what a fun thread! I've never come across this one before! Woooooooooooooo!!!

Right....

1) My name was meant to be Christopher...... Had to be changed when mum realised I was a girl! Then my name was meant to be Cathrine Benedikte, but for some reason they decided to drop the middle name, so now I'm only Cathrine....

2) I'm half Norwegian, quarter Danish and quarter gypsy. My gypsy grandfather was sold by his parents at the age of 4.

3) I'm extremely accident prone, and should be issued with a season ticket to A&E. I've broken my wrist twice, my big toe, my index finger and my scull. I've had about 5 concussions. This should explain a lot about me.... :blush: I had two black eyes and a 'sprained' nose after a friend accidentally kicked me in the face! I've been admitted to A&E several time with anaphylaxis. I damaged my back at the age of 14, and was fitted with a very sexy (not!) back brace, and told I'd never do sports ever again. Hah, I proved them wrong! I've got asthma and numerous allergies. I nearly dies from pneumonia as a child. My brother nearly killed me by accident when throwing a rock the size of my head, which was meant to land in the water and give me a fright. Instead it whacked into the back of my head, knocked me unconscious, and I landed face first into a lake..... Oh god, this list could go on forever.... Better stop!

4) I've been a dance teacher, a glass blower, a production potter in Guernsey, a Norwegian teacher and a self-employed ceramic artist. My work has been sold and sent to people in NZ, Australia, USA, Japan, Norway, Ireland, Germany and of course all over the UK.

5) I used to think I was afraid of heights until I took up mountaineering and climbing. I've only done about 100 munros, slightly hindered by illness and injuries..... Oh, and by doing more dancing than any other sport these days. Still aim to do all of them..... Last time I did rock climbing (), my back gave up, and I couldn't use the right leg. I was in agony, and was hanging on my harness for about 1 hour or more before I got down to safety. I still want to climb, though......


Not sure how interesting any of that is..... Oh, and some name dropping: Have met Morten Harket from AHA, all the lovely guys from ZZ Top, and used to go to school with world champion rally driver Petter Solberg (even appeared on tv with him, ahem....:cool: )

[Lory]

My brother nearly killed me by accident
If it's any consolation, my older brother nearly killed me too.

He decided to see what would happen if he put 'arm bands' on my feet, instead of my arms! :rolleyes: :tears:

[Little Monkey]

If it's any consolation, my older brother nearly killed me too.

My brother still can't talk about that incident, as he feels so guilty..... And this is over 20 years ago!! He also still feels incredibly guilty about both times I broke my wrist, and blames himself, although it really wasn't (directly, at least) his fault! Poor Alexander..... Nothing I say will ever make him feel better about any of these things...

Oh, and sorry for being dim (or just foreign), but what do you mean by 'arm bands', and why did it nearly kill you?:confused:

C :hug:

[TheTramp]

Oh, and sorry for being dim (or just foreign), but what do you mean by 'arm bands', and why did it nearly kill you?:confused:
Arm bands are flotation devices that you inflate, then put on the arms to keep the head above water when swimming.

So, put them on your feet. And they keep your feet above the water. Which I guess, if you're not very good at swimming, means that other parts sink beneath the water. I've never tried it though (but I can think of a few people.... no... nevermind!). :whistle:

[Lory]

Oh, and sorry for being dim (or just foreign), but what do you mean by 'arm bands', and why did it nearly kill you?:confused:

C :hug:
Sorry, maybe I should have said 'WaterWings'? Anyway, they're inflatable rings that keep you afloat, when you can't swim. They're usually fluorescent orange.:na:

Luckily, I could swim a bit but my Mum felt happier with me wearing them that day, as it was a huge open air pool and extremely crowded as it was a HOT Sunday.:waycool:

Lucky for me, the lifeguards were doing a good job that day! :worthy:

[Little Monkey]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah, that kind of arm band!

Yeah, I've had that done to myself as well! But I was ok, I managed to keep my head above water and swim to the dege of the pool for something to hold on to!

Not nice, hanging upside down under water...... :(

This happened to me too! It still haunts me today! Guess who was responsible for this?? My brother! :rolleyes: Men! That's all I can say! They come up with what they think are bright ideas and people nearly get hurt or nearly die shall I say!

I remember one time we were having a race in the pool, and I had this awful habit of turning my head side to side whilst doing a front crawl. well.....for a moment the swimming pool looked as though it moved up the walls then the ceiling...:eek: was scaaaary. I remember a lifeguard coming in to get me (oooeeerr!!:drool: ) and the next minute I woke up in the first aid room! So there you go, that was my own stupid fault.

[Little Monkey]

I have had articles published in an American paper.
I once cooked the food for a banquet at Caerphilly Castle.

5.I had rheumatic fever at the age of 11 and had to have 6 months off school.

[Mr Fitz]

1.I am half Scottish, half West Indian, my father came across to Aberdeen to do his PhD, loved the place so much he decided not to go back to Barbados…(a bit of mental illness in the family you might think!).
2.Highlight of my dance career : As a child I had masses of frizzy hair and every year we used to compete in the Aberdeenshire Primary Schools Scottish Country Dance Competition, with our natty kilts and pressed white shirts. The entire womenfolk in my family could not generate enough spit to keep my hair plastered down. No worries tho, we used to win it year after year!:clap:
3.Lowlight of my dance career : My ballet career lasted less than a fortnight aged 3. I was too fat to stand on two feet let alone one, and was requested to leave. :tears:
4.I have an IQ of 145, (was invited to join Mensa but being Aberdonian am too tight to pay £40 for a mug and a monthly magazine with puzzles).
5.I cheated during my “O” grade Art exam. For the Colour Study we had to take in and paint a plant or a vegetable. Being colour blind I have difficulties with reds, greens, blues, browns, purples and oranges and most colours in between. I’m not bad with black, white and yellows. So I decided to take in a bunch of bananas and a lemon. Half way through the exam the art teacher reminded me that bananas and lemons were not plants or vegetables and perhaps I had better start again with one of the pot plants from the window ledge in the art room. Faced with the choice of botching the exam or accepting the offer of some completed artwork from a young ladyfriend, I am afraid to say I strayed from the path of righteousness.:blush:

[Tessalicious]

1. My IQ is equal to my height (in cm, thank you very much!)

2. I was expected to be miscarried when my 6-week-pregnant mum was involved in a road accident on the M25.

4. I'm a closet (and currently repressed due to lack of time) girl-gamer - including massively-multiplayer online RPGs and model-gaming :blush: .

5. I once helped build a 6'4" snow-dragon in a front yard in Texas, in February.

2. I was deputy head girl and arts dux at school.

3. I'm a quarter Egyptian.

4. I'm vegetarian.

5. At university I studied psychology with philosophy, maths and music (play violin, viola, piano and xylophone... also attempt to play guitar, mandolin, penny/low whistle and drums).

It's really hard to think of five things that people don't know about me (and that I'd be willing to share! :really: :what: ) but here goes:

2) I have an irrational fear of churches.

3) I held a tarantula on the back of my hand when I was in Arizona.

4) I've walked on a glacier

5) I can't tell left from right (even though I've been dancing since I was little).

After much thought, I've come up with a fairly inocuous list, some of which should really be in the famous people thread, but hey ho!:

1) Julian Sands, the actor, was in my class at school.

2) I used to work for a polo club owned by Peter Baker (Ginger Baker, of Cream)

3) I have taken off in aircraft significantly more times than I have landed in them.

4) I have actually piloted one of the Thunderbirds machines, in real life.

5) My sister is a Baroness.

[AndrewMc]

but such lies being told


Worth the price?..........You bet, but I'll stick to the gutter anyway

[Yliander]

Well, to make amends, what 5 things don't people know about you then? :whistle:

1. I have never worked in food service
2. one of my favourite activities as a small child was to cut up a piece of paper into ever smaller pieces – my mother used to say she was going to hire me out to a confetti factory
3. I had an elective appendectomy
4. I can climb a ladder in heels and evening skirt as well as I can in boots and trousers
5. I have never owned a manual car

[ChrisA]

3) I have taken off in aircraft significantly more times than I have landed in them.

Hmm.

You know the saying... anyone that jumps out of a perfectly serviceable aircraft has to be a loony.

I know people like you... :eek:

[Piglet]

5 Pigletty things...

1. When I was a little I had an invisible twin sister called Julie. (She was the
pretty one!) My son had a lot of invisible pets when he was little.

2. I have a dent in my forehead from when I was a toddler - apparently I
had 3 accidents and landed on that part of my head each time - can't
remember what I was told one of them was, but one time was due to my
dad falling down the stairs of a double decker bus with me (those old
fashioned ones - possibly you still get them in London - no door at the
back just a step up with a pole) - I think we fell all the way onto the
pavement - but I don't remember it; the second time I tripped over and
hit my head on the fireplace.

3. My first "car" crash was around the age of 7. I was racing my bike anti-
clockwise around the island in the middle of our flats (I was only allowed
to travel in that direction because it meant going onto the main road in
the direction of the cars travelling on my side of the road - my parents
were worried I'd have an accident if I went the other way :rofl: ) and
trying to beat George - a neighbour who was at least 4 years older than I
was - I cycled into a parked car!! Oops!

4. I once went for a second interview at a bank with a mohican. They'd
waited so long after the first interview I'd given up hope of getting a
second one, fancied a mohican and then a few days later got a letter in
inviting me back for a second interview. So I went along. The Depute
Manager tried hard to hide the fact he was wetting himself and all the
girls behind the counters had their eyes jumping out of their heads. Hey
ho! What can I say - I was obviously destined for better things.

5. I grew up thinking it was unfair that I was the eldest of 3. Always wished
there was someone older than me to go through everything first - rather
than it being me that was the guinea-pig. Turns out I do have an older
half-brother out there somewhere. Found that out when I was 18, but
have still never met him and as far as I know he's not been in touch with
my mother either (who I didn't speak to for many, many, many years).

[Frankie_4711]

So you'll get to learn some of my secrets before anything else, huh?!

1. If I'd been born a boy I was going to be called Archibald
2. Between mid-June and mid-September 1996 I saw Elvis The Musical in London's West End 33 times - front row all but once I think
3. I have to put my socks on the 'correct' feet
4. I didn't have McDonalds til I was 16
5. I would love to play Janet in The Rocky Horror Show

[Rhythm King]

Tell us about it, Janet!

[Frankie_4711]

1. I spent 9 years of my childhood in Scotland, near Dunbarton, Glasgow and Plains near Airdrie, and although always considered a sassenach(sp?) in Scotland was called a Jock in England.:confused: My brother is still called Jock 30 years after moving to the south coast.

2.I will retire in 6 years 6 weeks time.

3. Aged 16 I lived in the USA for one year and went to school in Lebanon Illinois.

4.I once arrested a man for being drunk who had actually just been murdered.:blush:

5. I can be seen on TV nearly every FA cup final day. I am a little dark blob on the track who can be seen every time they show Norman Whiteside score for Man U against Everton (1-0)

4. can i ask how ?

[babycass77]

I was once stung by a jelly fish
I used to be a pizza chef
I can still, very occasionally, on a cold, miserable, day - if I'm deeply unconsciously asleep and have consumed vast amounts of alcohol - be caught sucking my thumb
I have a (minor) heart condition
I broke several ribs show jumping, my ankle ballet dancing; dislocated my elbow playing "jump the river" in guides and my knee playing leapfrog at primary school. Sounds like several things rather than just one but - in short - I'm accident prone and you might want to reconsider asking me to dance :eek:

4. can i ask how ?

It was a long time ago when I was working a night shift on footbeat in London.

I was walking along a busy road towards my beat, I had to stop at a junction to cross a road. As I waited for traffic to cross I became aware of a well dressed man staggering and shouting loudly about forty yards away up the side street.

Several cars slowed and I walked towards the man who staggered a bit more and shouted some more then fell over onto the ground. When I got to him I smelt the mans breath and he smelt of booze and was lying in a stupor on the ground... classic symptoms of a flat out drunk in the west end...I called up on my radio requesting the use of the police van for my flat out drunk whom I'd arrested.

The man had laboured breathing so I loosened his tie and as I did so I noticed a couple of very small bloodstains on his shirt. I opened his shirt and found 2 very clean stab wounds to his chest.

Within a minute of calling for the van for a "flat out drunk" I had to call again and asked for an ambulance for a stab victim.

Sadly he died within minutes.

Hence I arrested a murdered man for being drunk.

[WittyBird]

er, jump I think...

yeah I'm tired :innocent:
but me thinks its still a cr4p tune :D

[WittyBird]

Hence I arrested a murdered man for being drunk.

Ok here we go.

1) I once sat next to Jack Charlton on a train journey from York to London. Nice bloke.:respect:

2) I have Addisons disease. Rare but controllable. :cool:

3) Other than DJ'ing most of my adult life I worked on the Railways for 20 years. I left the day it was privatised. Whos a sensible boy then. :nice:

4) I once worked for Radio Top Shop. (Please forgive me I was very young) :rolleyes:

5) The very first record I ever played as a DJ. The long hot summer of 1976. Top rank suite, Reading. Still one of the best disco soul records of all time. "Young hearts run Free - Candi Staton" :clap:

Here endeth todays lesson.

The long hot summer of 1976. Top rank suite, Reading. Still one of the best disco soul records of all time. "Young hearts run Free - Candi Staton" :clap: I remember that summer. I was 19, those were the days. And I still play that track each month at the Soul Night I run - and it still fills the floor. For some reason I usually follow it with "You to me are everything" by The Real Thing.

And thats no 2 on my list. :worthy:

I worked in the Dawborn club in Bracknell when the Real Thing were on a promo tour. And I still play that a lot to finish my nights at Flares.

Just a couple of old boys remembering the old days. But we can still fill a dance floor. :respect:

Now where's that Barry White album!!!!

DJ Chris Uren :wink:

PS where is your soul night!!

[Andy McGregor]

Now where's that Barry White album!!!!The Walrus! Another guaranteed floor-filler - you just wish he'd done more danceable music.

My Soul nights are in Shoreham, near Brighton. And I've found a great guy to share the decks with me. He's called King Jerry. In the '70s he was a DJ in his 30s in Brighton when I was a teenager and "King of the Mods" in Brighton in the 1960s. I often introduce him with the line "and for those of you who remember the 1970s and the Top Rank Suite on a Sunday, we've had King Jerry exhumed..."

What we need is a nice bench in a park overlooking the town ...

.. and maybe a woman to worship who wears crinkled stockings, American Tan, of course.

4) My aim for this year is to finish uni and spend the ski season in canada!

5) I am electing to have my top and bottom jaws broken on friday to correct my overbite!. It has taken 2 surgeries to get here! plus it was delayed by me knocking 1 tooth out and damaging the other 3 front ones - They are now false!!

I hate odd numbers, too. And I can be fastidiously tidy (or is it OCD) as well - e.g. shampoo bottles in the bathroom have to be lined up in make & height order, with all the labels facing the same way.

And I loathe string. I mean, the feel of that nylon chord stuff - I dread having to open or close the blinds at work - or nasty clothing material. It's making my hands perspire to think about it. And I only realised the other day that one of the reasons I so rarely wear trousers is that I can't stand the feel of material brushing over my knees.

So glad you're all as wierd as me! :D

My worst injury was falling off a horse and having my elbow stamped on...lots of blood and bits of bone everywhere...four ops later my left arm's still a mess. Note to the boys - don't try and lead me into a left handed move :tears:

[Husky_Cat]

Okay my turn now.

1) I used to be a member of Ellon Amateur Althetics Club in my teens until an thigh injury forced me out. Bah

2) I have been in front of crowds lots of time in either plays, signing choir for school, two times that my plays was done outside school ie Music Hall in Aberdeen, in a theatre in London to try win the top prize.

3) I am an avid bookworm, I love to read books

4) I play for Edinburgh Deaf Ladies Football Club but I prefer the running part than the kicking the ball part :lol: which defeats the point somehow.

5) My natural hair colour is grey at the tender age of 24, it started developing at 11 yrs old so cue starting the dyeing the hair at 11 yrs old.:eek:

I had difficulty trying to think up interesting things but if those things aint interesting then Sorry!!.

[Villemo]

And these were nature's way of telling you...what?

No, I think it's natures way of making you appreciate the small things in life... suns coming up, a hot cup of tea, and being able to walk :wink:

5. Would still shag Doris Day

Are you sure? She is 86 - still, I'm sure with your 'rear of the year' still intact, she might just go for it.............(Doris is the one on the left - looks pretty good I think. There are a few women who look a bit like her at Ceroc Cheshunt if you want to practice first :grin:).

Actually.. thought I'd written in this thread before but apparently not !!

ok here we go again..

1. I'm a congenital anosmic.
2. I'm also a mild Enochlophobic.. (which is great when you're in London at rush hour :sick:)
3. I'm 1/2 Scottish, 1/4 Irish.. .. .. and 1/4 Italian (well I am if you add up my parent's percentages ;) )
4. I was once accepted for Mensa but never finalised my membership. (which is just as well.. I hear they're really elitist and snobby!)
5. I'm 4 minutes younger than Apollo 13 :) (and by that I mean I was launched at practically the same moment in time.. my mum was in labour when it was in final countdown.. taking the time differences and seasonal clock changes into account)

[Barry Shnikov]

1. I'm a congenital anosmic.


Off topic, sweety pie; EVERYBODY knows that.:doh:

[JiveLad]

1. 'Wild Thing' by the Troggs (YouTube - The Troggs - Wild Thing (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=z9DVJE_bhVU)) is my karaoke song: I've performed it in Taipei (this year) as well as Atlanta, Tokyo, Harrogate and Lineker's bar in Tenerife. Easy to sing-shout and you can ham it up to your hearts content.

2. Swedish is my main second language (I have spent a third of my time in the last 15 years there) - and I can say "sju sjösjuka sjömän" (seven sea-sick sailors) which is a Swedish tongue twister (well, a cut down version).

3. Oxygen was once given to me on a plane en route to Copenhagen after the trolley-dollie noticed I was a "bit pale". I had been out celebrating my birthday until 4am - 3 hours before the flight. Through this experience, I discovered that oxygen is a great cure for over indulgence.

4. Cold porridge is my daily breakfast. Every day, come rain or shine. Oats are soaked overnight with rice milk. I always get my oats - every day.

5. A fire engine was called when I got myself on to the roof of a local supermarket by shimmying up a pole: the deal was that I would get a ride on someone's new bike if I did it. When I got on the roof, I looked down and there was a crowd of people looking up. When I got down via the ladder, an elderly lady smacked my bum - and I never got the bike ride :tears:. (I was 10).

[SnowWhite]

Here goes...

1. I have what I call 'Numbers Tourettes'... When I am asked a number related question, panic sets in and I will give a completely random number as the answer - but I say it with such conviction that it sounds like it could be real...

2. I hate food shopping. I can't bear the thought that I need to know in advance what I want to eat. I can't cope with the choosing, standing in a queue, dealing with carrier bags and packing the things I've bought. So much so that I often leave a trolley half full somewhere in the shop and leave...

3. As a child I once flew in a harness over the crowds in the Big Top at a circus. All good fun until a clown tried to catch me and help me land - succeeding only in pulling my trousers down and revealing to the world my fushia pink frilly knickers! Guess who got to do an extra flight with her trousers round her ankles...

4. I used to live at the bottom of Parahaki Hill.

5. I once managed to 'sand blast' my less than ample chest attempting (badly) to master skim boarding...

Gotta sat though, that looks absolutely nothing like Doris Day. Are you sure that's her? I'm sure Doris Day had blue eye's. She looks like some random old biddy.....from Cheshunt freestyle.:wink:

[rubyred]

that looks absolutely nothing like Doris Day.

OMG no she was my shero when I was a kid, Sunday afternoon muscials on tele and all that I wanted to sing just like her. She's definitely had work done and it's changed her completely. Still good for 86 though.:flower:

1) I would rather have a fabulous dance than all the green and black's I could eat

2) I sing country and western songs in the shower.... :blush:

3) Can't drink red bull - sugar AND caffeine... sends me high as kite and it's not pretty

4) I never drank underage - I feel like I missed out on a vital part of growing up!

5) I'm not as confident as I seem to come across

[Barry Shnikov]

4) I never drank underage - I feel like I missed out on a vital part of growing up!
At 16, and on a school trip, I went into a bar in London with a 17 year old and two 18 year olds. I was the only one the barman would serve with an alcoholic drink. The others were not well pleased, and as a penance I had to go into the off-licence round the corner to buy two six-packs.
But it was a boarding school and we had our own house bar, and the rules were 18 years or sixth form; since I went into the sixth form at 16 years of age I was drinking at school anyway. Masters could only come into the bar by invitation or after the posted closing time. Being visibly drunk anywhere in the school or town meant lifetime ban from the bar, so it was a pretty good way to learn to drink sensibly.

[Juju]

1) I am a quarter Russian (Ukranian, in fact) - just read the first post on this thread, so this seemed to be a nice parallel.
2) I once came within an inch of being beaten up by the Warickshire County Cricket team. Women. Don't ask.
3) I'm a member of the 'a cycle helmet once saved my life' club.
4) On a related note, an arcade game addiction once helped me avoid a potentially very nasty (and probably fatal) accident.
5) On being taken to see the Taj Mahal, aged four, my first reaction was 'Oh, no! Not another Mogul ruin!'. :blush:

1. I use British Sign Language at work. (I actually think signing should be taught in all schools, as it is such a useful language and very useful when communicating across a crowded dance floor or through windows!)

re-reading this thread and got to page 6 and spotted this quote...

Unfortunately there is no "British sign language" - I learnt sign language, then found out, it is different for all regions of the UK. Plus different in Aussie, USA etc.

So although I could sign England South East... was not much use nationwide...

So NO, I do not think it should be taught in schools, until it becomes one language throughout at least the UK.

I would love it to become universal, but there are so many differences, not worth learning unless they agree on a common language.

I am deaf so use sign language, but i have to disagree with this. hearing people have different accents too, Cockneys, Liverpool etc But No one say that English language is different? Some people in scotland call chavs -Neds but in England they call them Chavs but we still understand the difference.

I use different regions in my sign language, really i just pick out the signs i like the most and use them, I use Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Dundee, Glasgow regions in my signs and People still understand me. That the main thing! As Long if the sign language is taught in school, the basic signs should be the same and it is up to the people learning if they want to learn the regions sign or not as i know there is a method of one B.S.L taught that is not the same as region signs.

Hope you understand what i mean!

[Martin]

Hey I love to sign , and love that I can chat with people who use sign language.


I use Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Dundee, Glasgow regions in my signs

The fact that there are 4 different varients, just in Scotland , sort of supports my point, that it would be good to have one language, and then.... Do teach it in schools.

If you were to teach people South East sign, and then say... but this is different in Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Dundee, Glasgow ... that is what put me off...


I see your point about accents, and I have struggled a bit in Aussie, using UK South East sign.

[Dreadful Scathe]

Well you're effectively asking for sign-Esperanto ;)

I am just thinking, when I learn a new language, how commonly is it used.

If I learn a new language that is only used in the South East, all I have to talk to is Andy and Lee! - What a battle that would be :what:

It's the same when learning any language. I suppose signing is no different from spoken language in that regard. You learn a standardised form of the language, but when you become proficient and are exposed to native speakers it becomes apparent that there are many dialects. I'm writing in standard English now, but if we were speaking face-to-face and I reverted to my native dialect instead of standard English you'd have trouble understanding me. That's just the nature of language, and you'll come up against it with any language.

He worded it better than i did, but that was the point i was trying to get across.

Sign Language varies greatly all over the world, for example American sign language is so different from British Sign Language but yet we use some of their signs without realising it.

Same as any language, there is a base to start off and you choose how to develop it, I didnt have to sign in different regions of signs, i just chose to as i like the signs and think it show the word better.

Aussie as i know it does use most of British Sign Language but they made it their own, their own dialect really. So it varies and that is good cos it mean we are like hearing people having accents etc.

Plus, don't forget that some old signs have been changed because they are non PC or deemed rude these days.

For instance the old sign for 'nurse' was a finger to the breast to donate the nurses watch that hangs from a fob.

It was deemed too rude and the new one, I think :confused:, is making a cross on the upper arm.

That is right that some signs have been changed due to non PC or being rude.

The sign for nurse varies really but yes one of the signs for nurse is making cross on upper arm.

The signs that have been changed due to being non Pc/being rude are mostly the signs for countries ie japan, china, Africa, Italy, Ireland. I do understand the reasons behind those but it did take me a long while to change over to the new PC signs just cos of old habits.

Having taken on board the points made, I am a convert.
Embrase the accents and get it taught in all schools. :cheers:

I never understood why we weren't taught sign language in school. Especially as my school had a unit for deaf kids, where presumably sign language was in everyday use.

[sunnybunny]

When I was a Brownie, I played the lead in a silent film of Alice in Wonderland – filmed by Brown Owl’s husband on his cine camera. (Not sure he would be allowed to do that today - which is a shame).

During one long school summer holiday I wrote to the Queen – and got a reply (from her Lady-in-Waiting).

I ran away to sea in 1982 (when I was a small child – hahahaha – not !)

One of my worst jobs (and there have been quite a few) was opening a new video store dressed as Spiderwoman. (Several small children got trampled underfoot as I couldn’t see a thing).

I am an ex-Playboy Bunny. (Unfortunately, only the ears fit these days).

[Rogboy]

I once held my School's 100m / 200m / 400m sprint records (those who know or indeed have seen me are now larfing their socks off :sick:)

I play bass guitar

I used to play cricket with SCD winner and part-time England player Mark Ramprakash (not at County level I hasten to add)

I once played Mike Teevee in my High School's groundbreaking production of 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' (4 ****'s - Ealing Gazette circa 1983)

Both my second toes are bigger than my Big toes, so I have to get size 12 shoes...

That makes two of us.:lol:

[Haylz]

1) I scare easily and I am afraid of the dark ... pathetic isn't it but i can't seem to get over it.

2) I love the smell of fish...I know, I know, it's so so wrong....

3) I cried once as a child because i thought I was so ugly no man would ever want me and I was really frustrated by what I saw in the mirror!!! I despaired because I knew I couldn't change my face!!! ( i have since learned to love myself, warts and all!!....not that I have any warts...)

4) Cold things relax me and make me want to go to sleep

5) I have a mean streak that doesn't come out very often, but usually when I've been hurt. It's not pretty.

Ok, here goes...

1. It took my parents four days to give me a name as they were convinced I'd be a boy so didn't choose any girls names!

2. I bet my headmistress £50 I'd never be a school teacher and I am!

3. I have always wanted to own a traction engine.

4. My favourite animals are cows, and I have over 200 things with cows on them.

5. At the age of 21, I got stopped by a policeman and asked why I was truanting from school!

My wife is a cow lover too, although her preference is for cuddly cows. Even our cushions are cows!

Have you considered Hinduism ? :)

I offered but she's a lovely lady and wouldn't let me pay her.

I have a few cuddly ones in my collection. Including a rather large one that sits at the end of my bed.

No - my personal "love" of cows mainly takes the form of eating bits of them cooked medium rare!

Thats "love" of a sort - I'm reminded of the "Restaurant at the end of the Universe"

"Go on, eat me" :)

[WittyBird]

About time that this was bumped again. There have been quite a few additions to the forum since April - tell us a bit more about yourselves. :grin:

[bubblyblondenutter]

5 things most people don't know about me;

1. i hate belly buttons (can't even touch my own never mind have someone near it).

2. i have recently been researching joining the police (might be time for a career change from teaching).

3. i managed to damage my hamstring in my sleep due to a bad dream.

4. i hate the feeling of seaweed between my toes on the beach.

5. the spellingof my cats name is mauli (instead of molly) she has stripes and reminds me of a tiger, and what do tigers do... maul (i)

[Dreadful Scathe]

...but is it neutered as your name suggests ?

3. i managed to damage my hamstring in my sleep due to a bad dream.
I must remember that one!

I don't suppose anyone will believe me either, but it's worth a try...

[Tiggerbabe]

...but is it neutered as your name suggests ?
I have sorted the lovely lady's forum name, so she is now, officially, a "nutter".

Ok, here goes...



I chewed the fat with the Queen for about fifteen minutes last year
When I was only days old I broke my left femur due to a nurse dropping me on the ground. I was strung up like a ham for weeks after it but have strong thighs as a result!
I find it really difficult not to laugh when I see someone fall over
I have a bizarre surname that only a handful of people can pronounce properly
I have an amazing short-term memory, the long term one isn't so good though :wink:

[sunnybunny]

Time to bump this thread again, I think. :nice: There must be plenty of new joinees since Dec 2009 ?
