I'd love a year off!

I know how Sarge feels (my 'coulda been a contender' comment) but we do tend to play down the things we're doing RFN.

It all shapes who we are today, the good and the bad.

I am glad you brought this up. I know I will feel better once I get this off my conscious. ( off my conscious?) whatever.

Last year I began wearing mens athletic socks. I find them massively superior to womens socks, even women's athletic socks.

Women's socks suck. Holes and piling and shrinking. Men's athletic socks last forever and ever; They hold their shape, they have cushion and arch support. I love them.

Two words of advice Sky, get yourself a couple of pairs ("two pairs"), then you won't have to get them off your chest and you can still wear that other pair on your feet. Problem solved!

Modest, as always. CF, we've all heard your voice (*swoon*). You would get a perfect verbal score reading the back of the Wheaties box.

It's because sock magnates know that women love shopping for socks, and think that socks are wonderful gifts! As a service to women, so they don't end up with a huge backlog of unused socks, they make women's socks shoddy. Men will keep wearing a pair of socks until the holes are big enough for the foot to go through, so their socks need to be rugged.

If I told you my secrets, they wouldn't be secret anymore, now would they?

Things you don't know about me, on the other hand, might include:

* I rode a motorbike up the pedestrian path to the Parthenon in Athens, Greece. The security guards were yelling at me but I kept going...I was quite the little rebel at age 17.

* I've been scuba diving in the Red Sea.

* I was a catalog model for Sanger Harris many years ago.

* I was raised a vegetarian. I still prefer my veggies over meat.

* I started smoking at age 14. I finally quit after 34 years.

True, True.

I don't like shopping for socks for myself because they are too expensive to have to constantly replace, but I do like giving socks. I am true to form there. Christmas, Valentine's, Halloween especially.

@ stormie, I think those are the best secrets I have ever heard almost anywhere!

@ casi, lol

Hmmm secrets...doubt I have any left ;p

I have an autographed copy of The Crucible

I was once invited to become a 'high class prostitute' by a good friend who wanted to set me up in business and be my pimp.

I have played with needles.

I got an A grade on my mock exam in French and then got a C on the real thing.

I took my maths o-level a year early, having also missed a year of school and passed.

I once bought a converted 70s ambulance despite the fact I couldn't drive. It was called Lance.

Me, my Mum and my big brother occasionally went ghost/alien spotting late at night when i was a kid.

My great Grandmother's third husband was the son of a Maharajah.

My Grandmother had her Coming Out/Debutante's ball in front of the Viceroy of India.

I used to play MMORPG games and allowed my guildies to believe I was a man for two years.

I played the part of a female sports commenter by the name of Daisy Diamond on a machinima sports special (in Anarchy Online).

I have seen every extant episode of Doctor Who.

I once slept in a derelict shop.
