Ah yes, first crushes, mine was a guy at school called James Hanson, haven't seen him since I was 9 and he was 11, but I'm sure I'd still do him to!Originally Posted by drathzel
you never forget your first crush!Originally Posted by TiggsTours
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.... 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.... )
If it's any consolation, my older brother nearly killed me too.Originally Posted by Little Monkey
He decided to see what would happen if he put 'arm bands' on my feet, instead of my arms!

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...Originally Posted by 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?

Arm bands are flotation devices that you inflate, then put on the arms to keep the head above water when swimming.Originally Posted by Little Monkey
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!).
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.Originally Posted by Little Monkey
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.
Lucky for me, the lifeguards were doing a good job that day!

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......

Must be something about older brothers! Mine decided to give me a fireman's lift once, got all the way to the top of the stairs, then dropped me back down them, onto my head.Originally Posted by Lory
Well, 5 things most people don't know about me are ....
1) I am very forgetful
This happened to me too! It still haunts me today! Guess who was responsible for this?? My brother! 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!Originally Posted by Lory
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... was scaaaary. I remember a lifeguard coming in to get me (oooeeerr!! ) and the next minute I woke up in the first aid room! So there you go, that was my own stupid fault.
Right, my previous ramblings were rather dull.... Here's another 5 things most people don't know about me:
1) I've been covered in pig's blood.
2) I've been hand-cuffed and thrown to the ground by policemen several times.
3) I've been trapped in a blizzard in the mountains (Norway), and had to be rescued.
4) I've been held at gunpoint by a policeman.
5) I used to be blonde.
I think we could have figured this one out for ourselvesOriginally Posted by Little Monkey
