When I was little my parents sold the house and bought a 42ft yatch (as a dare over a card game). We had it moored in Durban Harbour, South Africa, and were about to sail the world when the damned thing was nicked by runaway teenagers. It was then spectacularly rescued by the SA Navy, who promptly got the rudder caught in the shark nets on the way back to shore and sank it for us. :cry:

Ooh just remembered one (whilst tolerating DS#2 watching wwe wrestling :rolleyes: )

I was in Rebels one night when the American wrestlers came in for a drink, hung out with them most of the evening, swapped t-shirts with Brett Hart and got complimentary ringside seats for the show the next night.. :hihi:

Haha - somebody I knew did a little more then swap t-shirts with Mr. Hart.

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.

It only failed though cos I couldn't afford good hosting, and was constantly getting idiots from other forums (mostly Yanks and the "dark side") spamming the XBS forums with insults against me.

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:

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.

Why unfortunately? 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.

No medication taken....my eldest sister was prescribed meds 14 years back and is now reliant (and indeed addicted) to them. She suffers worse bouts of depression now than when she was 'clean', and uses the tablets to try to kill herself on a regular basis.

I refuse to take any meds, and instead use meditation techniques, and long walks, when I am in a black zone.

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.

Just cut out the junk and replace it with other stuff. Plus, you will feel less stressed depending on the food you eat. How do you feel after drinking alcohol? Ha,:).

I once did a nine second fart. It was so impressive I got a standing ovation from everyone on the shop floor.
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.

It was the talk of the town. Even people visiting from our subsidiary company that very same day were congratulating me. Shame I didnt see their appreciation in my wage packet.

I once appeared on Calendar. I was the kid in the school uniform pretending to be impressed by the South Yorkshire Police CopperCard scheme. And I had curtains.

I served Chris Eubank a coke and I also not knowing who they were at the time threw a then popular band out of our play park they were called Damage. Well nobody told me who they were.

i once got my ankle trapped in the revolving door at the front of tesco in melton mowbray. it was the first and only time that anyone i knew managed to run around an entire segment (of four segments) without going in one of them before it disappeared back inside the store. except my foot, obviously, which not only went in teh offending segment of revolving door, but stopped the doors.

my elation at the feat i had performed was somewhat overshadowed by the mahoossive bruise on my ankle.

My dad did better than that, he dropped me over a 5ft wall and doesn't blame himself for everything that is wrong with me :suspect:
