in 1978 I was at a party with Bob Marley (he really was tiny)
Y’know? Cougars mate Steve?
'im from that thing?
Hint taken and the harmonica has been launched, that bari sax I’m looking at is just begging for a toot!
Are you Windy Miller
Nope, the username was already taken.
If I'm honest, the reality of the statement is probably less exciting than anything you lot can come up with.
Although it does have something to do with 8 bits.

Are you Eccentrica Gallumbits, the octo-breasted whore of Eroticon IV ?
No, she was played by Scott McNeill, brother of the more famous Steve McNeill (you may know him from the STW "Post A Random fact about yourself" thread as Cougar's mate).

On the same day we've had adjusting one's oboe as a new euphemism.
I once smuggled a haggis into the United States of America
Christ almighty, what have I started.
adjusting one's oboe
is that what everyone does when they're "working from home" ?
Christ almighty, what have I started.
Thought it was your mate who started it, it's not like you presented the programme.
Christ almighty, what have I started.
Not just you. Steve too.
...and Scott.
@perchypanther - Dad, it's really dark and horrible in here. I'm really sorry, can I come out now ?
I promise not to stick my finger in the cat's tea-towel holder again.
I'm unusual in that I can do fractions on my fingers, as about half of one is no longer there.
I once smuggled a haggis into the United States of America
was it in your troosers?
as you travelled down from the isle of skye?

Bizarrely, my youngest, (the aforementioned harmonica lovin' taseree) once did exactly that to a ginger cat named Harry.
Harry did not take it well.
Was it Harry the Spider??
Tsk. If I'd just come down from the Isle of Skye I wouldn't have had any troosers.
Was it Harry the Spider??
No.
Spiders do not require tea towel holders on account of always having a spare limb.
Harry did not take it well.
Should've used lube sudocrem

#WorstBorgNameEVER
I went to school with Neil McNeill - poor ****er, always in the shadow of his geeky brother(s)
I sold some AAA batteries to the guy who sang in Dubstar or were they AA
Dubstar fact number 2: Last weekend I was drinking (lots of) fizz with Steve from Dubstar, chatting about corona virus. His missus then bought some G+T, and mine was in plastic cup, his in a large glass glass. I accused them of 'pulling rank' to get a nicer glass and we all LOL'd out loud.

My diet mainly consists of biscuits and crisps.
Christ almighty, what have I started.
C'mon, be honest, did you start it for your brother in law?
I have been on TV - in an aussie documentary about larrikins
I’ve had lunch with ex King Juan Carlos of Spain. Worked on Rudy Giuliani’s superyacht. Used to set up parties in the dungeons of Windsor Castle and once recited the English Football Teams names to convince a paramilitary I wasn’t American so he wouldn’t shoot me in the head.
My Top 15 ( well 13) is on Radio Caroline tomorrow morning at 9am.
Evidence. I'm the one in the blue snorkel parka. Note there were only about 5 different coats available in the late 70s. And also note the guy with his back to the camera holding the file is only wearing one glove...

I thought paramilitaries in the dungeons of Windsor Castle were a 16th century sort of deal?
Mostly tourists these days, surely.
And also note the guy with his back to the camera holding the file is only wearing one glove…
He uses the other one to slap the face of any uppity peasants who get in the way of the queen.
Always wanted a blue snorkel parka. I had a brown pass me down anorak. Very jealous.
Post a random fact about yourself – a bit of fun thread
Told my mum I was smoking cigarette since 17 with my friends whenever we went out for party. Then told her I could drink 5 pints at the Uni. She was not amused.
My sons great grandma was in Great Expectations with Obi Wan Kenobi.
I once got lost cycle touring in Slovenia and spent the night in a nudist camp in Austria
My one tv appearance was the back of me playing ‘space invaders’ at the Other Record Shop in Aberdeen (when I should’ve been at school) when I was a fifteen yo punker. They interviewed me. They were getting quite excited that I could string a sentence together. They were less impressed when I finished it off with ‘and you can just shoot the f****rs...’. Did I mention I was a 15 yo punker?
I have met (and shaken hands with) Steve Albini.
I’ve sold t-shirts for Dinosaur Jr, Mudhoney and Sonic Youth (I even got paid!).
My father was in military intelligence and ‘spied’ on Russian communications in the 50’s (in Berlin no less) and he claimed to have been stopped and taken off a train by the KGB...
I once mugged the king of Sweden.
On the same night I sold M&M's for £5 each claiming they were "E's" (Turn the M&M round 90' and the M becomes an E).
All money was given to charity.
I am in the opening shot of the movie The Gathering starring Christina Ricci.

TBH Gregg thats just the dull bits about you!
I once clicked on the double arrows and it actually took me to the last page of the thread
I unwittingly worked on a key system military system which was then show on TV to my surprise and in an obvious way which you'd all recognise during the gulf war.

No way. I call BS on this.
The men with guns were Guatemala, no where near as scary as some of the people you meet in a functioning castle.
I play the trumpet and guitar
Used to ride trials as a kid. Once tried to ride along a log in Junior Kickstart with hilarious consequences
I'm over 50 and still have a baby tooth*.
*In me gub, not a jar.

I had a blue Mark Anthony and a purple Chopper and Steve Austin’s medical pod.
I’m also more upbeat than my username would indicate in real life.
