3 things that we did not know about you

Post: # 30343Post Andy Hamilton »

Thought I would give this a whirl, one of those silly games that is sometimes played amongst good friends or stilghly more more embarisingly when you start a job/course as an introduction.

My 3 things would be

1. left school without a single gsce over grade c - the equivalent of no o levels.
2. I lived in cornwall for about 2 months in a tent when I was 17, then lost my job, girlfriend and tent in the same weekend. Glastonbury weekend 1992.
3. I once played a small part in a film. I played one of the worst blind dates that this girl had. Still to be released it has spent about 6 years being edited. Very, Very low budget production. In fact I think a lot of the editing has been done on two vhs vcrs pressing record at the right time and all that.

2. I read seed catalogues while sitting on the loo.
3. I read seed catalogues while relaxing in the bath.

1. I was the only child in my year to leave school at 15 (since I was taken out of nursery 1 year early, due to all my friends at the time were going into 1st year)
2. I've broken pretty much every type of bone in my body, apart from my back and neck, most of these breaks were during summer holidays growing up. My medical records are like a phone book.
3. I might be the proud owner of an allotment by end of play tomorrow :cheers:

ps. When I get drunk, I fall over :drunken:

pps. Salad fingers are by far the weirdest cartoons ever!

1. I had ballet classes once ( :shock: :shock: :shock: Well, I was only 9, and all my mates were going... :oops: )

2. I once played a cow on stage (a high-yielding Holstein Friesian, 10.000kg/year, name of Daisy; ok, it was only a production for a livestock conference; but that was when my future supervisor of my MSc first saw me! :oops: )

3. When I'm drunk, I fall asleep (which proves that none of you has seen me drunk yet! :lol: )

1) I used to pick up 'toys' for my chick mates from an adult wholesaler in the east end - it was a lovely family run business opposite one of my regular customers. They did everything, was just like an Asdas, with knobs on...

2) I trained as a medium in my local spiritualist church in Chelmsford.

3) I surpress a daily, burning ambition to interview Max Beesley and Robbie Williams....together....of course :mrgreen:

:oops:

...now there's a thought....

Actually, in my defence, I plan to ask about their volunteer work for charity.

Robbie set up a charity called 'Give it Sum' http://www.comicrelief.com/aboutthemone ... -gis.shtml and I believe he just 'turns up' unannounced to places to give people a surprise and a boost.

And I understand Max is actively supporting and promoting the Prostate Cancer charity, after his father was recently diagnosed with it.

I believe if more people thought volunteering in their communities was trendy, they would turn to it and that is the basis for my interview....

And of course afterwards

:3some:

Only kidding....
