    Fractured my left wrist after going to an ice skating rink for my first time, not knowing how to roller blade etc, I fell backwards, thought in that split second 'don't wanna hurt my back', so stuck my left hand behind me to break my fall'. Can now crack my wrist by rotating my fist counter clock wise.

    Have scars that look like bullet holes on my sides under my armpit areas, as tubes were placed in my chest due to complications at birth.

    Am 175cm tall and weigh 53 kilo's.

    My great-great-grandfather was the Belfast Harbour Pilot for the Titanic. As far as I'm aware, he was the last Belfast man responsible for her, though I'm not sure who the pilot was for the irish sea crossing.

    I work for the New York Stock Exchange, yet have never been inside the New York Stock Exchange.

    My main memory of new york from 12 years ago is the lobby of one of the twin towers.

    My school taught me to shoot, and fly planes. I had 40 hours in a single engined aircraft before I'd turned the ignition in a car.

    I used to be able to shove my pinkie finger up my nostril, up to the third knuckle. I probably still could but... something tells me thats a bad idea. Its gooey up there.

    A lot of my memories are in third person. I don't know why.

    I have 1 dream every 6 months or so. They are very rare.

    I have a 2ltr Bottle of Romanian Moonshine. So original it has flies in it. It was a welcome present from my fathers inlaws.

    Same, though mango comes a close second. And as far as I'm concerned, a cantaloupe is like an antelope but 'not' :hehe: .

    I'm rated as cp5 for UK military colour blindness, which is the worst you can get: put a prompt end to plans to join up years ago.

    I broke my nose boxing in the dorms at boarding school. There are videos. You cannot see them.

    I can now click the cartilage in and out of the slot that it should sit in. This hurts.

    I can do that too, broken it a total of 3 times now and apart from the fact that my nose is flattened and not round where the cartridge goes into the skull, I too can click my nose in and out and also fold it flat to my face lol

    I broke my nose when I was 6. I was walking along a wall in the Isle of Man and tried to jump off but got my foot caught and face planted into the ground (didn't use my hands to break the fall). Looking back I wish I had video of it cause it would be funny as hell to watch!

    Three as well, and mine clicks.

    I studied tai chi, the REAL stuff, with a sword, not the funny "relaxation" stuff. Still do some for my health. It's a lot lower impact than kenjutsu or Krav Maga, my other martial arts. I think it's my favorite, just not very "impressive" to watch. Good workout for a sick person though.

    I don't dream, ever.

    I have no sense of smell whatsoever, even went to a specialist and he couldn't figure it out after many many tests.

    5.5 pellet (pointy, not the flat ones) lodged in my hand. Hilarious the expression on people's faces:

    "You're lying..."
    "Here, touch."
    "WHAT THE SH*T"
