catmag 336 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Okay, it's the latest thing doing the rounds on FB but it's also interesting and sometimes eye-opening. So let's have 7 facts that people may or may not know about you. I've just posted mine and they were... 1. My lucky charm is a wooden leprechaun called Gilbert. I won him playing Pin the tail on the donkey at Paul Rylance's birthday party when we were 5. He lives in my jewellery box (Gilbert, not Paul) but has been with me to every exam and interview I've ever had and has never let me down.2. I had 4 imaginary friends as a child. One was a dog and one was Paul McCartney.3. When I grew up I wanted to be a gypsy. Not a Gypsy Weddings one, but one that wears long skirts and hoopy earrings and lives in a proper gypsy caravan so I can go where I want, when I want. 4. I never wanted to be a nurse as I couldn't stand the sight of blood. Turns out I'm okay when it belongs to other people and not me. What I really wanted to be was a journalist/writer. I still write now, but mainly for myself and always when I go on mad adventures.5. I have an obsession with the colour purple. I realise this is not a revelation to anyone that even vaguely knows me.6. I've told my brother that he was adopted for many, many years. And that we're not really sure that his birthday is July 8th - that was just the day we picked him up from the orphanage. Mwahahahaaa... 7. I have a huge, mad, amazing family - son, parents, brother, grandparents, aunties, uncles and cousins. We're a force of nature and no matter what has happened in life they're amazing, and we know that together we can, and have faced anything and everything.

Dr Gloom 21757 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Haven't done this on Facebook yet so here goes 1) I'm going to be a dad for the second time in about four weeks to a baby girl. I'm so excited to be a father again four years after my son was born but I'm also shitting my pants about what's to come. 2) I used to be a massive pot head and was a 24 hour party person during a misspent youth 3) when I was young I was convinced I was destined to be a famous singer/songwriter in an indie guitar band. It got as far as one gig at the Washington arts centre. A whisker away from the big time. 4) after giving up the indie band dream I moved to London and embarked on (what I anticipated to be a more attainable) DJ career, which ultimately also fizzled out. Before it died, my claims to fame were playing at the fridge and supporting one of the dudes from Pendulum (circa 2002, before they made it) 5) I stumbled into a career in video journalism without ever taking school or uni that seriously and despite having more shallow ambitions as a young un 6) I am now all about the early nights and tend to watch motd at 7am on Sunday morning instead of the late Saturday slot. And I have replaced the weed addiction with an addiction to working out. 7) if Jewish mother was in the dictionary you'd see a picture of my mam beaming back at you.

catmag 336 Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 I wasn't talking to you! Facebook can be shit. It depends what you use it for, or what your motives your 'friends' have for using it. Personally I find deleting or ignoring annoying people allows me to enjoy following people I give a shit about. Anyway, I don't get out much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
