This'll be a fun game.
I will start. I was on a sea resort in Crimea near the Black Sea back in 2014, just as it was first starting to kick off with the Russians. The Ukrainian staff told us all we needed to leave. Days after we left. The Russians occupied the Peninsula and still do to this day. |

I had my bag pulled and checked at dubai airport because there was a dubious metal thing in it. It took a female officer, unable to hide her amusement and derision, to explain to the men eyeing me with suspicion, that it was a Jamie oliver garlic press, and unlikely to be used to hold up the flight,  |

I've a few.
I once queue jumped an opening night at a wine bar whilst Ross Kemp was held at the door by bouncers.
I shared a bag of chips with a very d*unk Brian Moore after an England international.
And I died once. |

No and it would of been worrying if he did, I was 15 at the time!
He took pity on me and a mate standing outside the hotel in the rain at 3am the night before a PPV in Birmingham just trying to get a glimpse of our heroes. Brought us into the hotel lobby and brought us both s and spent a bit of time talking to us |

I used to live with a ghost. It would move things I knew wasn’t put where I found them. I would hear a man laughing from time to time and also muffled talking. And my tv would be turned on with a light in the mornings when I got up. |

I have been on granada tv. They were doing a bit about the company I worked for, making Chris Boardmans bikes.
We actually got his old bikes, renumbered them, resprayed them and put our stickers on it.
We tried to replicate his Lotus lowpro bike, but failed miserably. |

I once secured accomodation for my survey team in a brothel on Goksu Delta because I thought it was a hotel.
I broke out of jail in Gambia.
Worked in Antarctica, decided instead of flying home I'd catch mail boat to Chile and hitchhike through south America - it took me over a year to get home.
Ended up sleeping on Howard Marks sofa for 3 weeks in Ibiza in 90s then constantly got stopped everywhere I flew for years. |

Injured my hand earlier this year, when I had it x-rayed they told me good news - it was not broken.
Then they asked me when I had broken it before….cue confused look. |

I’ve saved several people from several different car crashes and been in the news for it…
And I honestly don’t know if I’m just always on the right place right time, or I’m a bad luck charm that makes people crash around me! |

I have died twice on the operating table (two separate occasions). The second time I grabbed the neurosurgeon by the throat for “bringing me back” (I apologised after)
No there was no bright light, it was just an indescribable feeling of serenity, and I was furious when I was brought back |

Not sure what super powers you might gain from this but got my fingers crossed for ya."
I don't think it was radioactive. I don't think Edinburgh zoo has much issue with Gamma radiation. |

Robbie Williams after he left Take That asked if I wanted to go out for a drink. No I wasn’t crossdressed at the time, I worked with a mate of his and they were going for a drink in Stoke.
I turned him down as I was going out crossdressed later that night. |

On one of ant and Dec's Saturday night takeaway episodes they filmed in a location (won't say where), pranking another celebrity. The bed they were sitting on I have squirted/gushed all over it and they were sat right on the same spot. Opps (I did clean up mind) |

"I have multicoloured eyes which is called heterochromia and only effects 1% of the world's population. Ironically I'm also colourblind.
You're in good company with David Bowie"
He had odd different coloured eyes caused by an accident when he was a child. I might be wrong, but I'm not sure that's heterochromia. Each of my eyes are multicoloured. Around the pupil they're brown, then around that they're grey with specks of green and blue. |

"I can fit six £1 coins in my belly button 
Just curious as to how you came about finding this out??"
Just realised I had a very deep bellybutton at a young age, my sister said I should put something in it... I used to be able to get four of the old 50ps standing upright in there. But now that you've asked the question, I feel this is actually a very odd thing to know/do... As a kid, it was just funny. As an adult, yiiiih that's pretty fuggin weird XD |
