(Or not) So here I am sitting at work staring into space and it’s just occurred to me that have zero, none,nil,zip mirrors in my house.
Interesting to me, probably not to you. So tell me and the rest of the class something you think is interesting about you.   |

"I am ambidextrous and can write with either hand"
Same standard for both hands? That’s interesting and very useful when using those pens that don’t dye instantly and smudge when you are writing (I’m left handed) |

Oh and I can spell Tuesday even though sometimes I get the matters in the wrong order! |

No injuries at all but unfortunately it was the norm over here so I just carried on. It happened twice in the same week. |

A mini Edinburgh earthquake could cause you several thousand years of bad luck!

I helped a charity who wanted a hot air balloon for their cause. They got an Irish well known (now Hollywood) celeb to front it and I had the pleasure of meeting him. The crowdfunding was successful and the balloon (flying bollocks, yes really) is in the US! |

I’m on two (previously) commercially available albums and one (previously) commercially available DVD.
I can’t ride a bike and have absolutely no desire to learn.
The last fiction book I read was whilst at school.
A famous brand of decongestant used to, and may still, make my skin peel off. |

Possibly all of them! My guess is number 4 though! I met the guy whose mum was one of the victims (he’s a great public speaker now but can’t remember his name) |

"I turned Kevin Costner down for a dinner date
(possibly only the mature ones on here will know who he is)"
Dont blame you, his movies are crap. Sean Connery wiped the floor with him in 10 seconds in his Sherwood bollocks. A very good call, WB, better off with a kebab. |

You may have performed at the Royal Albert Hall but not to 5,500 people as it doesn't hold that many.
I played it as a teenager (yes sold out!) and its not that many lol |

"If I told you this, genuinely, I would be in trouble with a foreign government.
Did you pull faces at Kim Jong Un?"
Lol no it’s just to do with my family and their connections to a Western-friendly foreign state which I won’t name. |

Okay I’ll come out with it my grandfather was in Mossad, it’s not possible to doxx me as I literally don’t have any public pictures attached to my real full name.
He was involved in a bribery ring, funded by Edmond Adolphe de Rothschild (the younger one, fun fact you won’t find online: nickname was “Addy”), to obtain fighter jet blueprints when de Gaulle imposed an embargo on arms sale to Israel - at the time France was the biggest arms dealer to Israel and Israeli fighter jets were French. They needed the new French fighter jet as they couldn’t match the Soviet-backed Arab states in terms of airforce numbers, and they got the blueprints through bribery. That was sometime in the first third of his career and I don’t know about the rest. |

The jet was called the IAI Nesher, a copy of this new fighter (the Mirage V) that the Israelis wanted.
And I’m not even pro-Israeli in case anyone thinks badly, I often do too. They don’t understand the concept of a queue |

He’s a Holocaust survivor (though was very young), and the Israeli state targeted Holocaust survivors or descendants for intelligence if they were up to it as they knew they’d be loyal. It’s also kept in families, a bit like dynastic marriages but here to contain the flow of information instead of royal lineage, which is why I know about it. I know a bunch of stuff actually, not secret history because that’s pushing it, but regarding the formation of the modern world from these squabbling European colonial powers.
As a hint: why was a state in Palestine promised to Zionists in a 1917 document addressed to “Lord Rothschild”: why in 1917, why to a financier? And is this at all linked to the introduction of the isolationist Americans into the war around the same time as it became clear the Germans were about to be victorious on their Eastern Front and eventually send reinforcements back West (which they did, only to be stifled by the Americans - they had several million men shipped over to Europe to prevent German hegemony over the continent. |

I was made to be incredibly proud about this growing up, in the sense of “as a people, we brought peace to the world by destroying nationalistic expansionism as a dominant climate” - this is still true even with the American wars in the Middle East, they’re not doing it to colonise but to prevent any power like that from emerging though clearly at great cost). |

But I guess you could call American colonialism a colonialism of anti-autarky. So it’s not that it isn’t a thing but it’s not nationalistic. The whole idea is globalism: everyone in a trade network, at peace, and anything that flares up is suffocated economically.
This part I’m inferring, but it looks like the obstacle to this reality is other economic blocs forming that are also well-armed so that they could be a potential future threat to world peace: that’s China and Russia (despite its poor economy in terms of production, Russia’s economy is very strong in how much influence it has). Again inferring, but this explains why we want to “sort out the Russian problem” and why Russia feels so threatened to invade an independent Ukraine. If it’s just China, there’s not much of a threat of a flare-up outside of Taiwan because of geography. Not true for Russia and Europe. |

"At a great cost" you mean by that the lives of 10's of millions of innocent people mostly kids. Colonialism in the classical style of the 19th and 20'th century is costly and impractical for a superpower like the USA. Nowadays it's taken a shape and means with exponentially higher economic profits to the USA and Allies and it's taken no name. Not only to prevent "the emergence of a power like that" Actually they're preventing the people of MENA and even Latin America from having an indépendant state to prevent their union and freedom. All MENA states are practically protectorate states imposed on their people by Western powers (who hypocritically claim to fight for Democracy and human rights). So colonialism and sl*very is at its peak as we speak. It just has taken a different name/no name and more sophisticated méthodes.
Currently the USA prints 61% of the international market's currency from thin literally. Around 20 $ Trillion a year. The EU: 21%, UK 4%, Japan 4%. The rest of the world are sl*ves without physical chains, except China by sheer number of their population and resources. Hence the desperate attempt of every people from countries not mentioned above to immigrate to Western Europe and North America. |

I ran away from home to England when I was 14. My mother launched a lengthy legal battle to try and get me back. I made a minuscule piece of legal history by being able to effectively divorce a parent from abroad and was referred to in a newspaper as child A. My older brother then managed to run away a year later but she didn’t bother to try and get him back a fact I always remind him of |

I can drink more coffee than the average man.
I’m invulnerable to kryptonite (mainly because it’s not real, but still).
And I’m irresistible…. To mosquitoes.

I have a friend with no mirrors, she’s Swedish, and in Swedish the word for mirror is Skegel (or sounds like that anyway), so above the sink she has a hand painted picture of renowned German philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, because it makes her laugh, and let me tell you that’s quite the face to be staring at while brushing your teeth… |
