5 True Statements About Yourself...

[th1stleandr0se]

Right, 5 statements about yourself to give the masses an idea of what you're actually like. Nothing like 'I have blue eyes' or shite like that.

Silvio, this has been a brilliant thread, full of imaginative, oddball, true confessions stuff. I'm gonna add 5 more.

1. Until I was 15 my family went NORTH for beach holidays! Leven, St Andrews and even Findhorn.

2. I was one of the first owners of a Sinclair ZX81 computer. I would have bought a ZX80 but the day I was going to send for it I saw an advert for the new one. It had 1kilobyte of memory, that's one-millionth of the memory of the computer I'm using now.

3. My first guitar was the same one as Eno is holding on the inside of the cover of Roxy Music's For Your Pleasure album. I've never found out what type of guitar it is.

4. I am into genealogy. I traced back 14 generations (accurately, no guesswork) and found that my furthest-back traceable ancestors came from about a mile from where I now live although the inbetween generations didn't.

5. Also in the family tree I have discovered illigitimacies, a jailbird, a lunatic (shoemaker, too much glue?), someone who died of a drugs overdose (in the nineteenth century, before rock and roll), a great-grandfather who got two sisters pregnant at the same time and a kid who had 4 different names in the first year of his life.

Me too.

1. I used to work in a supermarket and accidentally started a fire (Honest I never meant it!!). I hated the store manager and when he was giving me a bollocking it took all I had to keep from laughing.

2. I gamble far too much for the amount of money I earn. I enjoy it and keep a record of all my bets, and don't do too badly to be fair, but if any of my friends/family saw how much I actually bet they would be seriously shocked.

3. I have never been in a fight.

4. I believe that people are generally good and just need a chance to shine.

5. I have absolutely no compassion for animals or animal lovers.

I always storm away in a huff when my mum removes the laptop from my possesion.

I started crying once in Primary school on a trip to Gairlochhead (sp) as I never wanted to do abseiling.

I socialise absolutely no other way other than playing or watching football.

I got chucked out the Farmfoods in Dumfries for chatting up the woman at the checkout.

When I'm taking a free kick in football I always do a Cristiano Ronaldo run up. It works btw!

5 more from me too.....

1) I broke my left leg so badly that my toes pointed right and my knee pointed left.

2) I blew 28k I made on a flat on f**k all, promised myself I'd make it back up and succeeded plus a little bit extra somehow.

3) I never feel comfortable with my appearance even though I was quite popular when single.

4) I met Noel Gallagher and Meg Matthews in the Waverley Centre, Edinburgh.

5) Was invited to the backstage party of an Idlewild gig at the Barras and was thoroughly dissapointed to see them drinking tea, eating biscuits (Non disco version) and having civilised chit chat.

1. I really hate getting my hair cut. Every thing about it waiting in a que, talking to the woman/guy thats cutting it, having hair all down your back and on your shirt. But I hate my hair long so it has to get done.

2. I swear in nearly every sentace.

3. I'm really skinny especially my arms. The bones are so thin they've not grown since i was about 10 and I find it impossible to put on weight.

4. I hate phoning people especially people i dont know. I always get my mum or my mates to phone taxis or takeaways.

5. When i talk the voice i hear is totally different to what i sound like to other people. I sound fine to myself but i really sound like a ned. I cringe when i hear my voice on videos cause i sound like a right arsehole.

[Sir Kevin Of Kilsyth]

1. I have a false tooth

2. I used to have long blonde hair and I loved it. The only reason I cut it was because people (mates,people on here,passers by) mocked me.

3. I drank my first bottle of Buckfast when I was 12

4. I once attempted to pee in a ticket machine at Queen Street Station

5. I have been a University student for a matter of months and I have already ammased a 4 figure sum of debt spread out over an overdraft and 2 credit cards.
