spikesjojo gave me the number 12 ... so, here goes:- I was caught cheating in a spelling test when I was 7 and my name was put up on the school notice board ... to this day, I still can't spell, but now I would never dare cheat at anything!
- When I was 17 I spent a week working as a Postie, the week before Christmas ... my first proper job.
- As many Europeans cross their 7's (English don't) ... but I do! I also cross through the letter Z ... both were the norm when I did my A level Maths.
- When I was getting my green belt at Judo, I dislocated one of my brother's fingers!
- I had to take my driving test 3 times!
- When I trained to be an osteopath I had to learn to take blood ... and also did a year of human dissection!
- I always wear a hat to Church.
- The first time I had whiskey was given to me by my grandmother ... so I could go to my grandfather's funeral, as I wasn't very well.
- I can fence left or right handed - just depends on what jacket I am wearing, and the grip on the foil.I don't like spicy food ... or gravies and sauces ... a very boring diet please.
- I am a head-banger ... and have been since a toddler.
- Although I never "party" (at all) I always stay up to see in the New Year.
- And, last but not least, James Marsters was the first Gig I went to ... and the only person I have seen in concert, ever!
If you want a number, just ask!
