Rich 21-01-2007, 12:42 I was once a Mod on the forums at the long defunct Dreamcastsource.co.uk, the inspiration behind my own failed project Xboxsource.co.uk.

LordChaverly 21-01-2007, 13:12 I once met the notorious Robert Maxwell, who was actually very nice to me and offered me a book contract. I also spent some time alone in the company of a notorious African general, who has frequently been described as a 'genocidal butcher' and psychopath (no, it wasn't Idi Amin). The general asked me to read through a draft of his memoirs and correct the English. I spent a day at his house reading through the draft. He was sitting next to me most of the time, with a holstered gun strapped round his waist, so I was careful not to be over-critical. He explained to me that he was not the '*******' of popular legend. His memoirs were published some time later. Although I had no part at all in the content of the memoirs, I like to think that at least the standard of English is better than it would otherwise have been. :thumbsup: Lindos 21-01-2007, 13:19 I think this is the most interesting thing I have ever said........... parcher 21-01-2007, 13:57 You know the camera thing that they have in opticians to help you choose glasses, when you cannot see without your own on? Well, it was my idea! A long time ago, I worked for one of the biggest and best (at that time) chains of opticians and final year students had to come up with a new idea that would benefit the company and they would see about implementing it. pattricia 21-01-2007, 14:06 a famous footballer once asked if he could buy me a drink.....unfortunately it wasnt until i had said no i realised who he was Same thing happened to me when I was younger.I was at a dance when this Sheffield Wednesday player asked me to go for a drink(which I did) He then asked me for a date, but I turned him down because I didnt like football.(but do now) :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: fozzybronze 21-01-2007, 14:10 I once served Jim Bowen with a half pint of Yorkshire Bitter Super, smashing, great... spacedoggie 21-01-2007, 22:59 I voted when I was 17.

I also spent some time alone in the company of a notorious African general, who has frequently been described as a 'genocidal butcher' and psychopath (no, it wasn't Idi Amin). The general asked me to read through a draft of his memoirs and correct the English. I spent a day at his house reading through the draft. He was sitting next to me most of the time, with a holstered gun strapped round his waist, so I was careful not to be over-critical. He explained to me that he was not the '*******' of popular legend. His memoirs were published some time later. Although I had no part at all in the content of the memoirs, I like to think that at least the standard of English is better than it would otherwise have been. :thumbsup: The 'Black Scorpion'? !!! ...other pointless rubbish: I'm descended from the Dukes of Argyle, Various ancestors transported for sedition, Wife of the dyson vacuum business used to work as a designer for my cousin's husband, I once worked for TNT!!!

Surely you either fancied him or you didn't!? I dont see what his occupation should have to do with anything. Is this a thinkly veiled way of saying you would go out with some purely based on their status and/or earnings!? My only claim to fame is having tea at Ian St John's house when I was 14. I recall him saying Paul Dalglish was crap - a decent prophecy if ever I heard one. yummyyumyum 22-01-2007, 19:59 the comment "unfortunately" was meant tongue in cheek. i have absolutely no regrets about not accepting a drink from this man as i didnt fancy him and still dont even though i know his status.

Erm, you really need to discipline yourself more then. Once you notice the difference in your own self, a healthy body starts with a healthy mind. Simple.

On paper it might not look good, but you make a farting sound continuously without any breaks for nine seconds and you will realise how rare these must be. There was however a price to be paid for this event in that as the end few seconds came the pitch increased, as did the vibrations and it hurt. The pain I could live with but the long term effects have been terrible. I think I sprained it, now they just sort of fall out. snooze 28-01-2007, 22:47 I once did a nine second fart.
