10 interesting things
 

Thought it might be fun to list 10 interesting things about yourselves, so we can all get to know each other better :) . I'll start (heck, now I hope I can think of 10....)

1. My OH is an Aussie.

2. I have met the Queen twice. Once was live on BBC1 and once I was invited for tea at Buck House.

3. I ride a motorbike. (Honda CBR 600)

4. I went to school with Pete Doherty (I used to play badminton with him!), Duncan from Blue, and as it turns out, fellow BEer mrsperthforme!

5. I am a qualified PADI Divemaster and have been diving for 10 years. Regularly dive around the UK and various places further afield.

6. I am getting married next June in Cornwall. In a castle. Where my parents live (they don't live in the castle, just in Cornwall!). Then hopefully moving to Brisbane soon after that.

7. A couple of years ago OH and myself took 12 months off work and went travelling around the world. Was the best 12 months of my life.

8. I love the beach and love sand, but HATE getting sand on me when I'm wet. I have to be totally dry after coming out of the sea before I can sit down (even on a towel). If I see someone wet getting sand all over them it makes me feel quite ill.

9. I am a bit of an adrenalin junkie and apart from my diving and motorbiking, I have done a couple of parachute jumps, hang gliding, white water rafting, zorbing, sand boarding etc. And have done the highest bungee jump in the world (never again).

10. I cycle (bicycle) to work in central London every day, even in the winter.

What about you?

I wish I could do that - I'm crap at whistling. I can just about make a breathy one note vague sound, but nothing more. Certainly can't make a tune. And definitely can't wolf whistle.

And they are interesting! Thanks iPom!
