Getting to know you

[buggie]

I've been a guest on Dermot O'Leary's radio show with my mum and sister... and we then got described on the radio 2 msg boards as giggly girls!

[LizzygotDizzy]

Me and my sister used to peel eachother's "pickings" off our feet, (the flaky pastry skin you get on the soles of your feet which used to irresistably hang off ha!) We were also guilty of biting our toe nails, no not eachother's though lol!

[Muttley]

I was quoted, by name (my real name), in an erotic French novel several years ago. It was one of those books where there was a famous quote at the start of each chapter, only this chapter was quoting me. (I had met the author some time earlier and that line happened to come up in conversation.) One of these days I'm hoping to meet somebody who read it, but I'm not holding out much hope.

My second toes are longer than my big toes.

[KalamityKel]

I have short little fingers

I think that's normal Steve!

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

No it's not. But apparently it indicates you are a hot lover!

[citizenED]

Oh, I've got that too, honest!

[Asset]

My second toes are longer than my big toes and so are Mr Asset's so it can't be that unusual, but I'll go with the hot lover thang.

[mightyroar]

i've got the toes too. It also means you have high telepathic potential- probably why we are such hot lovers...talking of which...what's the book Muttley?

and I was on Blue Peter once

and once I was on a cruise ship that got hit by an oil tanker and sank. so I was on it when it sank.

If I told you that I would be unmasked! The book is French but the 'quotation' attributed to me is in English. I flicked through the book, dictionary in hand, and er, sort of got the gist. A few words weren't in my dictionary.

[Cassius]

I was one of the last people in this country to get Scarlet Fever.

My grandfather fought with T E Lawrence in the 1st world war.

Alvin Stardust dived into a swimming pool and nearly knocked me unconscious.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I know two people who have had scarlet fever. One was a little boy, two years ago and my own daughter about eight years ago. I think someone has misled you.

But the TE Lawrence/Alvin Stardust things are hard to top!

Muhammed Ali came to my school (Tulse Hill School for Boys) in '74 but I'd walked out a few weeks earlier and told them to stick it up their arse, so unfortunately I missed him. But one of my friends got to spa with him on the school stage and it was in all the papers at the time.

[KalamityKel]

I got run over back a camel last December! I kid not. Therese came to visit us as part of our fund raising gala and decided rather than doing what her keepers wanted her to do she would head for me in a great galop... I ended up being squashed against the wall and she flattened my lanterns :( *sighs* The smell of camel lasts on your person for a good few hours!

This is one guy I would love to have met/meet. He was for me, and still is, the embodiment of some of the finer human qualities. I'm still full of respect for the fact that when he refused the draft for Vietnam, he said something like " No Vietcong ever called me nigger" A man at the top of his game refused to give up his ideals. Not many people who inhabit our f**ked up planet can say that. Respect to the man that is Ali.

[Jah Lush]

Echoed Atila, echoed. To me Ali is a living God. He was a huge hero to me then and still is to this day but when I see him now I am usually reduced to tears.

That was what the doctor told my mother at the time - perhaps it's made a reappearance, after all we had nearly eradicated TB in this country until the past few years.

[mockney piers]

I know a few people who've had it, and they all caught it travelling in SE Asia. Blame cheap flights.

[dave]

Scarlet Fever - I had it in Belfast, 1983. Massively high temperature and my parents were bricking it. Locum GP told them just to use a cold wet flannel to cool me down. Proper GP was horrified.

I can't bend the thumb on my right hand due to a bone spur/fused thing.

[SteveT]

If I was a Masseur I would change my name to steve goodhands, but as my second toe is longer than my big toe and now well known for being a hot lover perhaps stevegoodshag.................... I used to dream of being a SteveG

[TillieTrotter]

I have a cow bone in my right foot. I used to have them in both feet but had one removed (bone not foot) due to osteomylitis.

I used to be a ski and snowboard slalom racer and once won the "Female Skier Big Air" comp for Britol Uni.

Then found Apres Skiing - much more fun
