Well, I started this thread on the old forum, but it fell a bit flat because everyone who was there had been there forever and knew everyone else really well.

But...now we have a new forum, and lots of lovely new members. Nowdays, not everyone everyone knows everythng about everyone else! :)

So, to help us all get to know each other a bit better, I thought I'd re-start this thread.

5 tlittel titbits about yourself which other people here may not know.

I'll start:

1. I once vomited over my in-laws Christmas tree

2. My brother knows Kate Moss quite well

3. No matter how much weight I lose, my tits are always big

4. I keep my house fastidiously tidy, but my car and desk at work look like a bombsite :blink:

5. I was once fined (and almost arrested) for being "drunk in charge of a bicycle".

My five:

1. I can solve a rubik's cube in under 3 minutes.
2. I am a huge pack-rat...I keep things so long that I can't remember why I even kept them in the first place...and still tend to keep them anyways just in case it had some special meaning to me at one point that I do not remember. lol.
3. I can speak Chinese
4. I drive like an 80 year old grandpa
5. I have an unhealthy love for cheese, and eat it alllllll the time..and on just about everything.

1. Kieran O'Brien (...who??) was once a footballing team-mate of mine...:bye:
He got his break starring in "Gruey" - an 80's childrens programme about a young lad and his pal and their adventures (never very exciting) in a typical northern town.
He went on to star as "Cracker's" son in the tv series of the same name....AND....as if that weren't enough.....he also played a soldier in "Band of Brothers" - he was the chap who was responsible for the soldiers' mail.

2. I once had delusions of grandeur by entering a tennis tournament with my mate - open to the whole of Manchester. I really went in their to win the entire thing.....lost in 2 straight sets to Damien Bridges (git) in first round (who never went on to achieve much anyway - well, have you ever heard of him??)

3. I represented our town at Hockey in the Manchester Youth Games. (Don't ask - 'cos I have no idea how or why?) I played the game about six times in PE and some bright spark of a teacher decided I was competent enough to take it five or six steps further. But I did okay. Incidentally we lost every game. If none of you are interested, Ryan Wilson was also at the games - actually saw him on the football pitches representing Salford. Anyone worth their salt, will realize that Ryan Wilson later became one Ryan Giggs......

4. I have a beautiful daughter Victoria Rose - who is seven years old today.
(lives in south-west with her mummy)

5. I have quite a large p.....ENALTY!! - did you see that??:ohmy:

Isn't the distribution of tits a funny thing. Why some people get more than their fair share. I know that if you go on the pill at a young age you can end up with big ones, but also in my experience, having known friends who ate virtually nothing when growing up and going through puberty, they all ended up with big knockers :blink:

1. I secretly used to fancy Noel Edmunds

2. Me and my mates were really naughty @ school but all the teachers thought we were little sweethearts LOL

3. I love the smell of petrol, freshly cut grass, & bacon sandwiches.

4. I once went 160 mph in an EVO8 FQ330 (I wasn't driving)

5. I still live at home with my mum & dad

Mine where huge when I was 12, so much so, my nickname was 'the one with the big knockers' and I didn't go on the pill that early or starve myself. I guess I was/still am a freak! :ohmy:

Am new to this so guess that anything I write here will be something that you don't know about me but here goes with 5 totally uninteresting things about me that you won't know:

1) I have Cherokee Blood in me. My great grandmother was a full blown Cherokee Indian Princess (Not sure about the princess bit but would be nice if that were true)

4) Got caught in a corridor with 67 Fireman all passing out from their training and instead of being overcome with lust was absolutely mortified :laugh: (Well although the stuff of fantasies just wasn't prepared had left basque and sussies at home)

5) Used to love Bros and Rick Astley lol was only young though in my defense :)

Well Cockeny, me old rubber, I didn't actually say it was a bad thing. It was just stating a fact!

On balance, I think there are more pro's than cons to my cleavage. I was embarassed about it when I was a kiddo, and there are times now when I wish they were a wee bit smaller (when I'm running for example). But I work in a male dominated environment and the fact is, as I've gotten older I've realised what an advantage a decent cleavage can be...... :laugh:

Great thread! We are a odd bunch but lovin everyone's interesting facts about themselves. Here's me.

1) I was born in a hospital that didn't offer scans at the time, consequently my mum didn't know she was having twins until I arrived (3 minutes after my brother) poor mum eh- she's still in shock

2) Sean Connery used to be my Grans milkman! (my dad has no resemblance to Sean, but my boyfriends does :) )

3) No matter how much weight I put on my tits remain the same size (under developed)

4) I was once so violently sick, that it actually came out of my ears

5) I don't drink Gin, whisky or vodka after an episode over 12 years ago. I was so paralytic (on above drinks) that I was found in the street clinging to a lamp post and was carried home by a stranger who I apparently puked over before head butting the full length mirror in my bedroom (yes it shattered) before collapsing into bed. I took two weeks to recover

Most of you already know this, but for the newbies: - I once tested sex toys for the Channel 4 programme "Sex Tips for Girls".

Paul Whitehouse (of "Fast Show" fame) once showed me where the ladies was at the BBC Television Centre.

I am either extremely moany/angry or the life and soul of the party - I have no middle ground!

My Mum didn't have me until she was 41 and my Dad was 45!

My idea of a truly romantic meal is fish, chips and mushy peas with a slice of bread and butter at the seaside.

No, my behaviour was impeccible, the old lady in question was disgusted that children were allowed into the service. She actually grabbed me by the shoulder and told me to get that awful child of the church that is was disgusting and she couldn't hear. Luckily it isn't my usual church as we had a joint service with two other churches in the area, so I doubt I will be at the next one. Hardly what I call Christian behaviour though............. :sad:

I appreciate her point of view but her attack was quite venomous, Abbie wasn't exactly swinging from the pillars or making too much noise. The Church that I normally attend has young children in the service all the time and everyone is made welcome, so I guess I was a little shocked. The sad thing is, is that the Sunday School at that particular church has hardly no children in it...............I wonder why?

DON'T DO IT
We have a piano... aquired from next door when we first moved in here...I started taking lessons at the ripe age of 37...had to give up when freddie was born due to time and money. But I pay to keep the piano tuned, middle son is learning the Cello...hoping will move to the piano. Children and adults always exclaim..."ooh a piano" a house with a piano is good.

Don't do it...you will only end up getting another one down the line and deeply regret getting rid of it.

I plead for your piano.

He is a big bloke and I persuaded him to go on the kamikaze with me it’s a water slide about the height of a block of flats and a shear drop

One of the funniest things I saw was when we were little and we were on holiday. Me & my sister went on this wheel thing, it was a bit like the wheel you see in hamster's cages, and you had to keep running. My sister fell and was taken up over the curve and promptly landed in a heap. It is a bit hard to describe but it was really funny to me, however it was too funny to my sister as she ended up with huge carpet burns!

This happend to me the first ever time I went water-skiing. Before skiing, you have to squat down between your skis until you build up enough speed and balance to staned upright, and the first time I did it, I was squatting for about 5 minutes with a high speed jet of water squirting up my **** before I had the confidence to stand upright.

It was, effectively, 5 mintues intense colonic irrigation!

I stood upright, skied confidently for 30 seconds, and then suddenly I KNEW I was gonna crap myself unless I got to a loo very, very soon.

I managed to persude the speedboat driver that it was an emergency and that I had to get back to shore NOW and I only just made it to a hotel loo in time to prevent my bikini bottoms turning an unflattering shade of brown. :blush:

I have water skied many times since, and am still nervous of a repeat episode even now.

~1~ Once cycled all the way from Stockport to Derby with a friend to visit another friend. It was a ridiculous notion and I would highly recommend it to Her Majesty's Prison Service as a form of punishment for notorious criminals. Roads varied from those resembling the back formation of a convoy of gigantic camels, to some that you could have bowled a bowling ball down and been in with a good chance of hitting a "steee-rike!" 11 miles away.....

~2~ Myself, and about seven others entered the Manchester-Blackpool Charity Bike Ride. We were a Mottley-looking bunch, and we all lost one another shortly after we passed by the set of Coronation Street (in other words - just a half-mile into the race). However we somehow (beats me exactly how...) managed to re-group somewhere near Preston - most of us anyway. I almost died only twice so I fared quite well. Other members of our now-scattered gang were not so fortunate - they didn't collapse from exhaustion, but flat tyres and thirst meant that Preston had become a zone of now very audible cursed-swearing and bike-kicking. My nearest brush with death came just outside the Camelot Theme Park as I rolled speedily down a big hill on the approach. It was a very wet surface and my brakes had made the decision to end my life for me. However, I wasn't quite ready to die at this point and I somehow (maybe through God's divine intervention, I'll never know) managed to avoid clattering head-on at great speed into the roadside trees. Re-gaining semi-control I only ended up with a nasty-looking pedal-spikes injury to the ankle area................................
.......................anyway..............we delivered the bomb...............(Robert Shaw - Jaws)

The reward for all this - severe exhaustion. Oh, and we did manage to see the closing stages of the Italia '90 World Cup encounter between Argentina and Brazil inside one of the endless number of arcades that adorn the Blackpool Promenade. For the record, Argentina won. And did we cycle back home?....did we fe*k!, have you gone quite med?? - got a lift back in best mates' dad's oven-like lorry trailer (where we all fell asleep)....fabulous experience, but perhaps another recommendation to Her Majesty's Prison Service.....

~3~ I have hazel-coloured "windows to the soul".

~4~ George Clooney is not a relative of mine.

~5~ I once played Air Guitar for Van Halen. (man!, did we rock!)

~Bonus~ (...always a bonus...) I'm good (very) at tennis, football, pool, and other things.....but only adequate at golf, where I often lose the plot (and several expensive balls) after hole 2, and only re-discover it around hole 16. And I'm crap at roller-skating - but then I began hating them things immediately after my sister made me cry when kicking me in the shin full-pelt with the toe-end.....ouch!! (only marginally less painful than the time when she decided it was a great idea to slam the airing cupboard door while my fingers were inside the hinge....)

1) Since we will soon be moving to the wop-wops, I have finally decided to embrace my grey hair and stopped having it dyed last November. I now have blonde and caramel highlights. Everyone else likes it but I'm not keen.

2) I started running before Christmas and could only run for 1 minute (on the treadmill) maximum. I now run 2-3 miles 3 times a week indoors and went out for a run last Friday (with my trainer) and managed 3.8 miles :)

3) I have bad knees!

4) I have a bicornuate uterus, which means that it is heart shaped and has a septum running down the middle of it separating it into two halves.

5) I am planning on learning to fly (helicopters) once we are settled in NZ as there is a flight school in the city we are moving to.

Don't mean to pry but what is this?
this:-
Ulcerative Proctitis
Ulcerative Proctitis: A Subcategory of Ulcerative Colitis
The symptoms of ulcerative colitis, as well as possible complications, will vary depending on the extent of inflammation in the rectum and the colon. Because of this, it is very important for you to know which part of your intestine the disease affects.

One common subcategory of ulcerative colitis is ulcerative proctitis. For approximately 30% of all patients with ulcerative colitis, the illness begins as ulcerative proctitis. In this form of the disease, bowel inflammation is limited to the rectum. Because of its limited extent (usually less than the six inches of the rectum), ulcerative proctitis tends to be a milder form of ulcerative colitis. It is associated with fewer complications and offers a better outlook than more widespread disease

. Unlike more extensive ulcerative colitis, ulcerative proctitis usually is (1) not associated with "extracolonic" manifestations, such as joint complaints, skin rashes, eye disease, and liver disease; (2) not linked with a significantly increased risk of colorectal cancer; and (3) most often successfully treated with medication, rarely requiring surgery. Here are some more facts about ulcerative proctitis:

Who is affected?
For most people, the onset of symptoms occurs between the ages of 20 and 40, but younger and older individuals also may be affected. Males and females are at equal risk.


Symptoms
The most common symptom, affecting 90% of patients, is rectal bleeding, sometimes associated with the passage of rectal mucus. Some people have diarrhea, but constipation may also occur in up to one-third of patients. Another important symptom is tenesmus, an uncomfortable sensation of incomplete evacuation -- "the urge to have a bowel movement, but nothing comes out." Except for the nuisance or inconvenience of these symptoms, most patients feel well.




Treatment
Ulcerative proctitis usually can be managed with topical and/or oral anti- inflammatory medication. The primary goal is to improve and, ideally, to eliminate symptoms. Reducing rectal inflammation, which may persist even after symptoms improve, is also desirable.

I am having a bit of a flair up now and am going to the docs this pm to pick up my prescription for Predfoam (which dosn't make me fly but it takes away the pain instantly). I was first diagnosed with Crohns after a rather charming examination where a camera was shoved up my **** and a biopsy was taken.

I keep electrocuting myself accidentally, despite the fact that I know a fair amount about electricity and electronics. You'd think that I'd learn.
I am building a mini-greenhouse for my extremely green-fingered wife. (I don't know why her fingers are green, but they haven't turned black yet, so if it's gangrene, it's not too serious.)

1) I started a new job 2 weeks ago ... and i hate it. BUT im trying to stick with it in the vain hope it will get better.

2) I put my hand down the loo this morning to retrieve a hair grip that Mr.B had knocked down there ... and thought he would leave.

3) My bath sponge looks like a hairy animal right now, and should be changed ASAP for a new one. I wish Mr.B was hairless sometimes.

4) For some reason all my knickers are too small at the moment. Im blaming the tumble drier, and NOT my ever inflating ****.

5) I read the 'when was the last time your heart was broken' thread for the first time, and feel very very humble.

I have just read the whole of this thread and you are all so funny, witty, clever, interesting, brave ... lol. Now trying to think of something interesting about myself - errrrrm - lol.

1. My brother used to be the Postman on Eastenders some years ago. (Not the one with the turban)

2. One of my most embarrassing moments was when I was roller-skating along the seafront with my grandson at the ripe old age of 54 when I went over backwards and couldn't move. Was carted off in an ambulance on one of those straight board thingies and the nurses kept looking in the cubicle to see "the roller skating granny" :blush:

3. I worked at the BBC Television Centre in the 60's and had a "fling" with a minor TV celebrity :blush:

4. I am petrified of flying and once went to Spain on a coach. It was a bit like giving birth, agony but worth it in the end. Going again this year and biting the bullet and flying

5. Last year I spent £1,600 having synthetic collagen injected into my wrinkles. I looked like Marge Simpson when I got home and then like I had been hit in the face with a baseball bat for a couple of weeks after. After that had gone down I looked the same as before so I wasted all that money :wacko:

I remember my confirmation day as well, but we were about 11 years old I think and we all had on white dresses and veils on, looking like miniature brides.

me too! I remember walking up the road to church and all the local lads who didn't understand church things were shouting "Are you getting married?" afterwards we went home and all sat in a room with no carpets and deck chairs borrowed from next door. We had fish and chips! It was the first day in our new house. Great timing by my parents :wacko:

on the subject of confirmation days. I too wore a long white dress and veil. We went home after the service and the pipes had burst and the ceiling in our dining room had fallen through so Mum and Dad spent all day clearing that up and we never went out!!!
