Five Surprising Things you did not know About Me! SHOCK HORROR!

I have NOT been tagged to tell five things you did not know about me. But who can wait to be tagged? Not lil' ol' me for sure. So - here are five little known facts 'bout this ol' rock chick that you would not have guessed in a million years!

1.    I have a 22" waist. ......

yes, I AM SO skinny..,.....Yes, (deep inside this 32" waist resides a  22" waist) It has not seen the light of day since 1973 but hey!  10 inches ...that's only 5 inches each side. Not far from daylight right?

......................................................................................................................

2 . I was ARRESTED on the CHAMPS ELYSEÉ, PARIS in 1972 for.......Busking!

Yes, that Champs Elysee in that Paris.

 I enjoyed evey minute of it. Yes, it was my finest hour. I can't even sing or play an instrument but Paul can and was and I was guilty of collecting the spondoolicks in the hat! WHEEEE! We both got arrested along with a man walkin' his dog without a lead and brought to the police station for an hour. Then we were released and told to get out of town.! Wheeeee! I'm a criminal! I Love this story and have been dining out on it for years!

I'd love to do this again before I die. One or both I don't mind. I am going to Amsterdam soon and might chance it there. Sure if we don't get arrested we might make a few bob right? Watch this space. Interpol take note!

...................................................................................................................

3. I can't drive. Well, I CAN drive but don't as I developed a phobia re driving over the years and bought a bike instead. That's a bit boring right? Well this is not....Some drivers often come VERY close to me when I am cycling to work. It makes me nervous and I tend to wobble as they pass and would have been killed sooner or later but I came up with the perfect solution...

 

No not this lovely bike...read on

It goes like this..........When I hear a car coming up behind me I deliberately WOBBLE dangerously all over the place. This has the effect of frightening the bejeepers out of the driver upcoming and they give me a wide berth. Clever or wha? Survival of the wittiest!

....................................................................................................................

4. I am a teacher  - but I left school at age 14  ....and I did so without a qualification of any kind or even a backward glance. I hated every minute I spent in school and now I'm the feckin' teacher! Ah, sufferin' heart!

 I still don't have a qualification (not even the Juinior Cert (done at age 15 here)  No, I just have 12 years of experience in actually DOING IT (Adult Ed, is the back door to becoming a teacher)  At work I have the opportunity and  the funding to do a degree in teaching but hey! I am too busy working and living to do it so I duck and dive and just keep on teaching!

 I am da teacha'! Whoooo! (under the radar - don't tell the Dept. of Ed - anyway I have a criminal record in France so probably don't qualify on any level)

........................................................................................................................

 

5 I am an All Ireland Dancing Champion.

I have a medal for LINE Dancing. I won it in 19-hundred and splash!

Yes, I can and do throw a few shapes on the dance floor.

 (I was six before I found out I was NOT a ballet dancer.) No one told me otherwise before that - and therefore I truly believed I was. I did not know that one had to learn. Really. I actually believed I could just do it and did it or thought I was doing it. I was born to dance and so I did dance until someone "enlightened" me and then I lost the ability to be a dancer for years- a bit sad really)

 

But talent WILL out I did come to learn to dance and eventually won a national medal for it as part of my club group of line dancers, The Memphis Swingers,  a few years ago. (I can STILL ballet dance - don't care what anyone says...and Riverdance and Flamenco dance , Morris dance etc whooo!)

I am da' dancah!

So do you want to divulge 5 little known facts about you? Consider yourself tagged so!

Pam, your are as mad as a hatter. But I think you are fabulous. Thanks for the facts, I had to read them twice. Happy Halloween, hope you are enjoying the fun. We are wrecked after a day at the Knitting and Stitching show, penniless but happy. Hugs, Margie.

What a great list!
Now my 5....hmm:

I used to be quite good at Old time and modern sequence dancing.
I got accepted into the RAF and chickened out at the last minute.
I would like to have a farm or an animal sanctuary.
I'm interested in the paranormal and have had a few experiences.
I haven't seen my brother in 14 years.

Ha ha! Loved the 22" waist - I used to have a 23" waist which I cannot believe - I mean, that's teeny isn't it?! Ok, my five:
I can make a woodblock noise with my tongue
I have Brian Cant's autograph
I had a letter published in Just 17 magazine.
My first kiss was from a frenchman, but I wasn't arrested
The worst thing I ever did as a teenager was bunk off two oboe lessons, and I still feel guilty!

Hi Pam, I have an award for you...xxx

Pam's older sis Teeda here.

1. I was once bitten in Transylvania by a Romanian. Seriously! He was pickled drunk and thought it was romantic to bite my hand. Feckin' eejit.
2. I once rode a mechanical bull at a rodeo (well, kinda - I was thrown after 5 seconds). Feckin' eejit.
3. I also work at a job where I should have a degree, but don't. Like my sis, I could do it thru work, but come on - there are just too many interesting kinds of trouble to get into.
4. I weigh the same today as the day I got married (125 lbs). Don't be jealous - the weight has arbitrarily migrated to the "midlands", so I'm now ?? sizes bigger than back then. I'll have a chest like a proud pigeon soon.
5. I sat my first university exam on my 50th birthday. Lost my glasses on the way, had to stand back 5 feet from the computer monitor, bobbing and weaving till the words came into focus. Feckin' eejit.
