I played County netball for 10yrs, played goal attack. I miss competitive sport. I'm reduced to the gym, table tennis, line dancing and my bike now. |

I made Sharon Gless (actress who played Cagney from the American cop show Cagney and Lacey) a paper boat made out of her ticket to the Norman, Fosters and Rogers exhibition at the Royal Academy. We floated them on the water of Fosters’ model for a new London Bridge. She was lovely. |

I used to compete in motorsport and they’d give you a form to fill out for the comentator, a bit about your car spec, notable performances etc and a box marked ‘an interesting fact about you’. I used to put ‘I can eat a wagon wheel whole’! |

1. A character in a television drama based on my workplace which ran for 3 series in the 1990's was completely based on me (and Anita, the series creator spent a summer working with my team to understand our work).
2. I have walked in the Arctic and Antarctic circles.
3. My great great uncle was one of many named suspects in the Jack the Ripper murders. |

I was in a small aircraft mid air doing a tandem sky dive.
One of the instructors had a meltdown and didn't want to jump out of the plane she said it was too cloudy.
Everyone was screaming at her "jump out the fucking plane"
I was next and had to go without a say in the matter.
And I had a hangover 
The best bit of the story is on the way back we were all in a mini bus taxi and there was a random man we didn't recognise - it was the pilot hitching a lift back to town as he's lost his drivers license
20 years ago now - but every word is true |
