    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. (OK, I'm lying about the "immensely popular" bit. It's more a labour of love.)

    4. I got 100% in my O Grade Maths prelim in 4th year.

    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.

    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?

    What an interesting bunch, until now perhaps!

    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
    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!!!?
    5. We have a 14 year old daughter and have been together for 15 years but only married for 3 years (4 this September)

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

    Take life by the horns and live life to the fullest

    The necromancer’s at work again – 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 )– 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 – 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.

    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!!!)

    5 Things Most People Don't Know About

    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
    believe it merely fuels more bad thoughts and you
    become .........not very nice. Once was engaged to a girl who's
    mum kept talking bad of this person or that person......Then
    one day decided mmmm like mother like daughter and quickly
    departed....

    5. Have no time whatever for religion caused more deaths than
    anything else i know. Just wish the world had more nice
    honest people in it.

    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.....!!

    James...xx

    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

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

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

    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

    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
