First thing I did Zzzzz :-)...nothing! Tried every combination.

A Great grandmother fell down the stairs and died, she was 51 ......I wouldn't mind seeing the inquest of that one.....did she fall or was she pushed?

I am a Radio Ham
I have been a Gooner for 57 years
I have Arsene Wenger and Pat Rice's autograph
I love Queen and have all their CD's
I have had several Band's sleeping over in our house . Courtesy of youngest daughter :-D

Curtsies to AnnC :-D

I was a guest at the wedding of the brother of Mark Austin - ITV news announcer - he had a new baby with him and it cried all through the service

I've had my photograph taken with Des Lynham when he was doing a book signing in Borders in York

I was Aladdin in a pantomime production at the local hospital where I worked

I organised two summer fetes at the hospital and each time got a shedload of raffle prizes - a beautiful enamel box from Princess Diana with her cipher on it

A gorgeous plate from Prince Charles

A Royal Crown Derby planter from the Queen Mother

A book from Sarah Ferguson

A pen from John Major

A book from Roy Hattersley

A handbag from Princess Margaret

and numerous other gifts

I pride myself on writing begging letters :-D ;-)

I've met Norman Wisdom and Benny Hill and have their autographs

:-D wend.

Waves to Kay :-D

I once lived in a castle.

I once worked for a Duke.

I have a diploma.

I passed as a radio ham.

I am friendly with the sister of one of the worlds most famous woman.

Ok Uzzi :-D I was fibbin'

First car was a Ford Prefect - nowhere near power of the racy Pop :-(

Well, I don't Rose, so come clean soon please ;-) :-D

Hi Wend , I'm not here lol, I've had to move my pc and have no internet at the moment, just snatching a few minutes on Dan's to check emails, and have a quick look here. Hope to be back online soonish.

5 things about me...erm, no can't think of anything interesting , will maybe add something tomorrow if I can come up with anything ..but i reckon most people know as much as they would want to about me lol.

Talking of *Whatever Rose says* - where is she???

ferkin eck John thats the best or worst laff I have had all week

Dermot :-D :-D That is a teaser. Would it be 3 miles as crow flies - and miles and miles round?

Or perhaps you had to visit a Marian shrine on way to work?

And my first car was a 1959 Ford Pop. 3 gears, 57mph top speed. Braking from 57-0mph took best part of a morning. Yes, Wend, have had another go ;-) Me and Dermot are vying with each other for most boring interesting facts.

I body-doubled for Cliff Richard on "Summer Holiday"

Wend I didn´t bring all my garden with me, so I do need on site help :-D and I am a useless gardener as I can even kill plastic flowers.

Another unknown thing about me I once inherited from step mammy an over grown swiss cheese plant thing, which I gave her a cutting back and kept the ruddy thing until I gave it away because even I couldn´t kill it :-D

A few more items to highlight my incredibly boring existence:

I never smoked cigarettes.

For 15 years, I cycled a 22 mile round trip every day to & from work, even though my office was only 3 miles from where I lived. I’ll leave it to John to work out this piece of Irish logic.

Dad regularly accompanied & allowed me to drive his Ford Popular when I was c12 years old.

He also taught me how to start the engine with a starting-handle. Great times!

As a young fellow, my dad drove trams in Manchester.

Now you're telling porkies Uzzi - I saw your last garden and it was beautiful. In fact, I took several cuttings from a few of your lovely plants a couple of years ago and I have been putting the results (now well-established) in my greenhouse this afternoon :-D

I did Wend ..although they did have red and silver sparkles on them ..I think I kept a couple of them somewhere ! :-D

I have another to add
I am a useless gardener who if doesn´t get help will stock her garden area with plastic flowers

. . . . . . and you married him with 10 black fingernails I believe! :-D

I took riding lessons and can ride

I can tap, ballet and fence (not stolen goods although I could probably do that better) after a fashion

I can´t play the piano regardless of 2yrs of lessons

I was married at 17 with a black eye (nearly 2) and a couple of broken ribs

I was a publican and ran away with a customer who is now my tomboy hubby

Susan. Have you tried googleing his name?
