Subject: RE: BS: For fun - Ten obscure facts about you
Whoo... my life seem terribly boring and mundane after that but here goes....

1) I was once a hunt saboteur.
2) I served Sir Trever McDonald (UK Newsreader and patron of the 'Proper English' campaign) with a beef sandwich, he took hours to finish it.
3) The only politician I let kiss my daughter as a baby was Tony Benn.
4) I've slept in the same bed as Martin Carthy MBE, Sid Kipper and Les Barker & Mrs Ackroyd.
5) I try not to eat anything that has more limbs than I do.
6) I would gut and scale mackerel when I was 6. Can't touch them now.
7) I can sight read music and have perfect pitch - I cannot stay in the same building when the piano is being tuned.
8) I was vegetarian for 8 years.
9) I've signed the Official Secrets Act twice in the line of employment.
10) I once played rude word Scrabble with a priest, in a Friary. He won, and the prize he claimed was me. We were together for 3 years until he went to China to work. There he was one of only 2 Westerners who were neither expelled nor interred after the Student Riots. They escaped over the mountains into India on foot but for a year, even his parents thought he was dead.

Well I said it was boring and mundane....
