There's a technique... My grandfather taught me. If we ever meet, I'll show you. It's a fabulous trick to hail a cab and came in useful when I lived in London.

Re: 10 interesting things
Okay, here´s some reason why I am sof###inggood too:
1. I know Cathy Freeman (Olympic Gold Medalist and Australian of the Year) and my sister shared Best Sportswoman of the Year with her at high school.
2. Scott "Hucknell" - as pronounced by the prime minister, his Honorable John Howard - cough - (Young Australian of the Year) has been to my other sisters place and was great friends with my sister. Man, that just reinforces point No. 1 up there.
3. My great great great grandfather was mates with Charles Dickens
4.5. I am an heiress to a 2 million dollar property in Malta.
4. My Maltese grandparents left on the last ship to Australia from Malta during WW2.
5. I speak with and see dead people regularly. I solved the detalis of a 20 year murder mystery crime through intuition in less than 5 minutes.
6. I have a degree, and my siblings and I were in the top 10 percent of the country academically, just like everyone else in my super intelligent family.
7. My mother met the queen of England as well and had a cup of tea in the tea garden at Buckingham Palace when she was in England in the 1960's.
8. I have lived in 3 different countries and hiked up the tallest mountain in the UK.
9. My sister had the opportunity to have a new fossil named after her but knocked it back.
10. I was chased through the street by a pissed off bikie and have been falsely accused of being an infamous notorious Brisbane animal napper in an illegal dog fighting criminal ring.
11. My first and only piano teacher spoke of my debut ability as only being possible if having been a concert pianist in a past life.
For all these reasons and more, I am a complete a##hole.
ps all these are true, but who really gives a crappa?? Im more interested in someone's character.

Point 6 has been ignored as you have only mentioned 9 things and you have 2 number 4's.
