1. I broke my back four years ago while riding my horse.

2. I once got run over (by a horse) on pasture and ended up with a broken foot, brused hips and ribs and concussion. This was the morning of my video production final my senior year...I still love horses (and I passed the class without having to take the final)

3. I can drive a tractor, back up with a horse trailer, yet I get all white-knuckled thinking about driving on the left side of the road...

4. I spent two years in the Army Reserve Officer Training Course while in college, and qualified marksman on an M16

5. I am afraid of heights, but not of flying in a plane or helicopter...

[Dreadful Scathe]

1. i once got thrown by a horse at full gallop. luckily it was on a sandy beach.

2. i was very nearly a policeman, on the test day you were only allowed to fail 1 thing out of 9. I failed 2. (one of which was a letter scenario, and i saw no problem with it)

4. i practicised as a "wide receiver" for an American Football Team but never played in a real game.

5. i am a part time journalist

bonus.
not really me, but interesting, i can tell when my wife is pregnant as she gets very short tempered, illogical and almost incoherant (just for a day or 2). This is so pronounced that for our 3rd child we almost didnt bother getting a pregnancy kit to double check.

Ooo fun thread

1. I have visited the Gesundheit Institute from the film Patch Adams.

2. All the males in my family and dad's side of the family have split their chin, I'm the only one to do it twice.

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

My orthopaedic surgeon told me that he'd be out of a job if girls didn't ride horses. 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

[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 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.

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?

That I should eat more horse meat?
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

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 .

[Beowulf]

Yes, but who bumped it? The last post before yours was by Lost Leader on 11th April 2006

a great date if you ask me

[Beowulf]

a great date if you ask me

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.

oh ok.. erm

1. I'm actually from BETELGEUSE !

(although we who live there prefer to call it Alpha Orionis )

[JiveLad]

1. 'Wild Thing' by the Troggs (YouTube - The Troggs - Wild Thing) 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 . (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...

She'd fit in just fine at Cheshunt.

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.

[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.

EEEk!

She looks like Ray's mother from Everybody loves Raymond...
