"I was best athlete in my year group 3 years consecutively at high school and went onto play sport at a decent level without ever quite making it into the paid ranks mainly due to my loyalty to one club. I can fit 6 marshmallows up my nostrils and £2.20 inside my foreskin in 20 pence pieces. Sexually… I was dragged into my first threesome in 1998 and have spent long periods of time in an ffm poly relationship." Where do I start with this one?!?! Photos or it never happened (marshmallows and foreskin please) I can see you as an athlete! Was it pole vault by any chance?

"I write with my left hand but do absolutely everything else with my right hand That is pretty unique! Can you also curl your tongue? " Nope. That’s about as far as my talents go. It’s probably a negative because if I used my left for those other things I’d probably have more control/power/accuracy or whatever but a lot of things in the 90’s weren’t designed for lefties so it was easier to learn to use my right. | |||

"Anyone remember the anthrax sent to US government depts around 9/11? We opened the mail for an office on Whitehall at the time. A Colleague opened an envelope that had some unknown powder in it. Our office was sealed off and several hours later in a scene reminiscent of ET a fireman in a hazmat suit speaking out of a speaker in his helmet took all our clothes to be "destroyed" and led us wrapped in red blankets into plastic tents on the street where we were scrubbed and hosed down. None of my mates believed me until one of them found a tiny bit of column inch in the observer saying "Whitehall sealed off due to suspect package". Harrowing at the time, but quite amusing now. I think it was a calculated test run to see how UK services would cope." Holy shit balls! Now there is an interesting fact! | |||

"TYPO alert The early US presidents were NOT Americans, so anyone who has any historical knowledge, would know that. Which US presidents weren’t American? I admit I don’t have any historical knowledge. I think it's just because when they were born, they were born in 'British America'. They became president after the American war of independence were the USA were formed. Surely they naturally became American when the USA was formed then if they weren’t already? If not what was their nationality? You would assume so, they became nationals of their newly founded country. So the early US presidents were American? America then was still British soil, so physically yes, but subject wise, no. Do you mean it was still British soil when the first president, who I believe was George Washington, became president? Or do you mean that when he was born it was British soil and therefore he can’t be American as he wasn’t born on American soil?"

" That doesn’t explain what you mean, you very confidently said that the early US presidents weren’t American and anyone with any historical knowledge would know that, so I’d have thought you’d be able to use your historical knowledge to explain what you mean rather than just copy a load of dates and locations off the internet. All I’m asking is if they weren’t American then what nationality were they and why were they that nationality rather than American? | |||
