Yeh, well I was waiting for Aaron to spellcheck that one...
Quote: Griff @ August 19 2008, 9:38 PM BSTTo be fair, if I'd had to post ten facts when I was at your youthful and unblemished stage of life, I wouldn't have had half that stuff to talk about. I wouldn't have had a sketch on TV either (and still haven't...)
Your facts were ace.
I think you know you've lead an interesting life when you can list the stuff you have.
The Colin Jackson one was ace. I didn't go to school with anyone famous, but I'm sure people will one day list things like "I went to school with BAFTA Award winning writer and all round handsome stud Seefacts and I threw a Malteser at his head, making him cry"
Oh, dear. This is going to put me into certain categories and I took some of the freakier things out.
1) Have Asperger's Syndrome, which is reflected in my love of language and my inability to tell left from right. I sometimes forget which hand I hold a fork with.
2) SlagB knows the Manics personally enough to call them twats to their faces. SlagA also knows them quite well, although they call him a twat.
3) I support the football team with historically the most succesful re-elections to the football league. That's their only claim to fame - oh, and beating West Ham 2-1 in the FA cup. Newport County.
4) I'm a conspiracy freak. I don't believe in any but I love collecting them. My attitude to conspiracy is summed up in a CD title I gave to SlagB's band - There are no Conspiracies (bar the One True Conspiracy) - Catchy little bugger, eh? :-) What that one true conspiracy is I have never really explained to anyone.
5) I am fascinated by German tank / aircraft designs of WW2, especially experimental prototypes. Bovington Tank Museum is a favourite place for me.
6) I have a recurring dream that I've discovered in my collection a Beatles' album of unreleased songs. Sometimes I wake up singing one of the songs. I always forget it before I get to a guitar.
7) I dislike words with repeated sybilance. S sounds are physically painful to hear. It is amplified by whispering and can be in any format (except the written word, naturally) but especially adverts like M+S and that "auto emocion" cobblers. I have to turn the TV off when they come on.
8) I have an inordinate ability to take something that I've been told by a third person and create a first-person false memory out of it. Notably a Halloween story and an alien-cum-ghost encounter that I'm no longer sure if I was told them or they really happened to me. The two times I saw something inexplicable in the sky happened precisely the moment AFTER I'd began talking about UFOs. Although oddly the other people in the conversation also saw the same thing as me. Needless to say, I don't talk about them any longer. And the experiences form part of my belief system re: the nature of reality.
9) I once pretended I didn't know who Stephen Merchant was, when I was stood next to him.
10) I love rabbits. I put a rabbit reference into every serious writing project. No matter how obscure the reference.
Bloody Norah, I need committing.
Wohooo! That was awesome!

I love rabbits too.

Do you mean like... 'crisps'?
Maybe a good thread would be list some freaky embarrassing stuff about yourself.
That'd be more fun!
Good list Slag A, you're very interesting I think.

West Ham, giving the little guys hope since 1884.
I can't stand the noise of other people brushing their teeth on TV. (I don't mind it in real life.)

That's how The Stereophonics' Kelly Jones wrote 'I Wouldn't Believe Your Radio' - it came to him in a dream being sung by drummer Ringo Starr.

Yeah, same. It makes me gag!

The guy in the year above me at school who was best friends with my brother and did the school magazine with him... co writes Claire in the Community which I think is v good. He also inspired me, admitedly to try and pull a lass in very tight jeans, to take my first show to the edinburgh fesival.

Oo, that's one of my killswitch words. 'Crisps' kill me - the sound of them being spoken and eaten. The plosive 'p' between the esses really is a killer.
Quote: Griff @ August 19 2008, 11:15 PM BST
Yeah, I can't really say crisps properly, there's another word the same but I can't remember it...

Yay!
