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.

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.

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.

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.

    • Hi, Looking for a bedframe with no head or footboard for a double mattress. Normal UK double. Ideally wood. If someone has one to sell or give away please get in touch, thank you!  
    • Great answer, but how do you then square it up with pension pots investments without adversely impacting future growth.  Buit of a tricky one as on one hand it should be nationalised but on the other we don't want to see future pension poverty relying on government top ups.  Far too complicated for a simple answer   
    • Driving down one of the side streets near the park last night we saw a group of kids in front holding a rope across the road. Did feel a little anxious and then when we got closer it turned out to be a harmless trick - nothing in the road/dangerous, just three kids on each side holding long twigs as if they were tugging a rope between them. i'm conflicted - quite a theatrical prank (I presume copied from online) but given the location could well have been the same group mentioned above. 
    • I have no idea, but not so difficult for one of them to stand to the side and record. In an odd way at least if they were doing it for social media it might explain the motivation, albeit misguided. Others may disagree, but that feels less worrying than a desire to intimidate.   I think comparable games like "knock down ginger" where children run away and/or momentarily stick their tongue out as cheeky gesture, have a different vibe to what is described here.
