A Few Facts About Yourself

[nailit]

That otherwise wouldn't be known outside of an obscure Q&A site such as this.
(Ironically, partially inspired by another ABers Facebook post...)

I can count in Japanese (fat lot of good that's done me)
I can recite the alphabet backwards (Ditto)
My left testicle is lower than the other two.

Over to you...

Peter - do you mean the entrance to Duke's Drive which is now a walkway along the canal to Worsley. Luckily its all free to walk now and very popular. There is a lighthouse there now on the bend in the canal which is lovely to look at and built by someone as a folly. The council would not give him permission to live in it. The doctor's surgery which is on the bend was later remodelled and now looks like the bow of a ship. Clever design and a bit of fun for the area.

that i should wake up, from someone else,

Snap, Windy! But I was 21, completely out of it and an atheist but my MIL decided to hedge my bets for me.
She also informed my mother but we heard nothing. When my mother returned to the UK I asked her why I had heard nothing from her...not even a get well card.
Her reply. Well if you'd died before it got to you it'd have been an awful waste of a card and stamp.... :-)

Well used to it by then, Windy. I was more miffed that it happened the week of my 21st and I missed my party. :-(

When I lived in Flixton a yellow e type screeched around the corner, roared up the road and screeched to a halt beside me. It was 2.45pm on a Saturday afternoon. The driver was lost and needed to know how to get to Old Trafford. I pointed him towards Stretford and told him to follow the crowds.
He looked like he had just crawled out of bed.. It was George Best!

I was once sitting on my bike at traffic lights, at the entrance to the old Birmingham airport. Some police stepped out and held the traffic, and a car drive in. The Queen was in the back.
