1.I once spent a night unconscious on the floor of a hotel lift in Amsterdam, travelling up and down between the floors.
2.I once broke a policeman's hand in a car door when he stopped to give me a lift home because I was walking along a country lane drunk. I still got the lift home.
3.I was the Warwick University Poet Laureate, even though I won with a poem about cunnilingus called ‘The Taste of Carpet'. My tutor thought it was about cocaine addiction.
4.I did Physics at University. Loved the theory, but got bored in labs and hung around with the English crowd rather than my Physics peers.
5.I have been a smoker for most of my life, but gave up at the end of last year.
6.I do yoga and salsa, despite not being gay.
7.I keep in touch with all my ex's, except my first girlfriend who was my Russian exchange partner and only lasted two weeks.
8.I've been to every country in Europe except for the Scandinavian ones and every continent except South America.
9.The only famous people I have ever met are the World Cup winning England Rugby Team, on Manly Beach in Sydney.
10. I worked for IBM for six years and now own my own company. (Is that too many ‘own's?)

Do you have bitches who work for you and shit?
Nah, it's just a cool way of saying I'm a contractor. Still, the money's good.
1. I broke my wrist falling off the church tower at St. Mary Axe, Cambridge. (That sounds a little more dramatic than it was - in the interests of health and safety they had installed a mesh fence to stop people falling from the tower, then so people could see over the fence they had installed a viewing platform; I stepped backwards off of the viewing platform...)
2. I will eat anything except broccoli.
3. My only Newsrevue credit was for a sketch about broccoli.
4. I have been skinnydipping on the top of a glacier.
5. I learnt to ride a bike two years ago.
6. I can put my left arm under my right knee and hold my right hand.
7. I have eaten fried earthworm. (A bit gritty to be honest.)
8. I have transitted the Panama Canal twice.
9. I have been in love only once, and I made a mess of that.
10. I have swum among dusky dolphins, who all the time were joyously f**king one another senseless. There is so much we can learn from nature...

Can't most people do that?

My world has been rocked on it's axis.

Is this hard...?
Quote: David Bussell @ August 18 2008, 11:09 AM BSTCan't most people do that?
Possibly, but I did not get that quite right in any case. Okay to be precise, I can put my left foot over right knee, thread my left arm under my left knee and clasp my right wrist with my left hand behind my back.

In preference to broccoli.

I'm sort of trying to imagine the circumstances in which you found out you could do that.
Frankie's the most interesting person here, it seems.

Now that takes some doing.

Well if I'd been alive as long as Frankie I'd probably be a bit more interesting.
