Sorry... My bad ...

No worries

Even though Jack Daniels is made in Lynchburg, Tennessee you can't actually drink it there because it's in a dry county.

Belgium has the only fully lit motorway network on the planet.

Oh... I thought the 'facts' had to be interesting ...

Point to the words in Basher's OP where it say's that the facts have to be interesting?

Did he not say, however, random facts about yourself? Are you Belgian? Or a motorway?

I was 300 yards away and on my way to Harrods when the IRA bombed it......

Wow i remember that - I was about 1000m away i guess - it was still shockingly loud, and then VERY quiet - eerie

I was late and missed the train that crashed on its way up to London about 10 years ago from paddington (ladbroke grove ?), and i was also late the day of the london underground bombings when i should have been on the underground near Aldgate around the time.

Re earlier post.
I walked past the first mainland IRA bomb at Surbiton Army Careers Office 5 mins before it was detonated. Also occasionally used the Guildford pub they bombed.

Back to topic.

I failed my first driving test due to having a minor crash on it (not my fault I was stationary) but failed for not using my horn

As cricket seems to be a theme I played in schoolboy trials alongside the likes of Atherton and Hussain, have got Larry Gomes out and had my finger broken by Dean Headley

And following the bomb ones I was interviewed in the Arndale centre Manchester the night before the IRA bombing in 96

Made my first appearance for a mens team when I was 12 as a wicket keeper, got 1 catch which I was over the moon with

Uncle has faced Joel Garner, says it was utterly terrifying

If I turn the volume up or down on the TV, is has to be an even number.

I have an instant attraction to girls with a "Bob" haircut. It's just a shame they are not v easy.

When I was 18 got lost up Mount Snowdon in Wales. Strayed of the track when mist came down. Eventually got rescued by experienced climbers, who gave us a rollocking for not being properly dressed for climbing, and also said we were only about 50ft from a 1000ft, precipice! Scary.

I was 300 yards away and on my way to Harrods when the IRA bombed it......

I wasn't a million miles away from that myself by all accounts. i was only 8 and don't remember much but my Dad tells me the taxi he found to get us out of there cost a fortune.

I won a bottle of champagne at a night club for doing the can-can wearing a very tight pencil skirt.

Won a second bottle for finishing the can-can with full splits
