And the answer is: I've been very mischievous. Every statement is false. There's not a shred of truth in any of them. As for number one, it didn't happen to me but it happened to my father. There were a lot of very sensible guesses though!
1) I was born with two thumbs on my left hand, and one of them was surgically removed.
2) I'm allergic to avocados.
3) I once shared a taxi with John Lennon.
4) I often dream of burning buildings.
5) I blush frequently.
6) I have a heart-shaped birthmark on my left thigh.
7) I'm prone to fainting.
8) I used to have a terrible stammer.
9) I swear profusely when I'm drunk.
10) I used to be anorexic.
11) I'm afraid of flying.
12) For my 40th birthday party, I wore a blue minidress, black tights and blue 3 inch heels.
13) I detest broccoli.
14) I once lost two stone in a month.
15) I've never had any pubic hair.
16) I used to sleepwalk.
17) I first had sex in a London tube train.
18) I once hiccupped non-stop for three hours.
19) I've read "Crime and Punishment" eleven times.
20) I bruise easily.
I'm just going to wait for the answers.
ReplyDeleteAgent: That's uncharacteristically cautious and indecisive of you....
ReplyDeleteTrue: 4, 5, 6, 7, 11, 13, 16, 18, 20
ReplyDeleteI'm playing it safe.
It is neither cautious nor indecisive. I just don't play games I don't enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI think I love you
ReplyDeleteThe only one I'm certain of is 12.

I have no idea, but I am looking forward to hearing the answers.
ReplyDeleteAgent: I apologise. That was very rude of me. I do agree with you about games you don't want to play.
ReplyDeleteSusie: I'm saying nothing!
John: Goodness me, a declaration of love, that's the last thing I expected! And a big kiss to you, you soppy old thing.
www: How can you be certain? You weren't there, were you? How did you sneak in?
Jean: Patience, my dear, patience. The truth will be revealed when the time is ripe....
You do 'bruise easily', Nick. Not necessarily literally [blue, green, violet].
ReplyDeleteMy, my, aren't we a little narcissistic here.
If you had a birthmark on your left thigh, and I am sure you do, that would mark you - according to folklore - into a sexual beast. Which, I am sorry to say (and you asked for it) I do not think you are.
You had a stammer? What a surprise.
Should you indeed have 'hiccuped for three hours nonstop' that indicates a number of things: You don't know how to breathe three times deeply and/or you don't have friends.
As to all your other assertions, Nick: I do not believe in being cruel to be kind.

ReplyDeleteUrsula: I do indeed bruise easily in the emotional sense. Well spotted!
ReplyDeleteA birthmark on my left thigh makes me a sexual beast? But I'm such a gentle, considerate soul.
I'm glad you resisted the temptation to be cruel and horrid....
Bijoux: You'll just have to wait and see!
Well I hope the one about two thumbs is true, that sounds intriguing! :)
ReplyDeleteJenny: There's a story behind that one! All will be revealed presently....
ReplyDeleteI think John was professing his love to the Secret Agent . . .
ReplyDelete;-)
Susie: John is gay, so probably not! But maybe he's spreading his net a bit, ha ha.
ReplyDeleteNick, your reply to Susie re John's orientation. John being gay does not mean he can't love a woman. Remember his recent and most affectionate declaration for one of his (female) friends? I speak from experience. Rarely have I been wooed more than by a gay man. Yes, really. Poetry, the lot.

Ursula: I'm sure it's possible, but maybe a lot less likely? Anyway, perhaps John can clarify....
ReplyDeleteAll false? I'd have said you blush easily and hate broccoli.
ReplyDeleteLiz: No, I'm incapable of blushing, even when I've told a complete whopper. And broccoli is one of my favourite vegetables.
ReplyDeleteI would bet on the even numbers.
ReplyDeleteRamana: In which case, you would have lost quite a lot of money!
ReplyDeleteNick, I was on holidays, so the answer was given by the time I opened up today. Seriously, on reading the list, I came down on the 'no' side, hesitating only at number ten. I might agree that you were very thin growing up, as I was, but doubt it was anorexia.
ReplyDeleteGrannymar: You know me too well, you know I enjoy my little jokes! And you also know I've never mentioned any of those things in my almost 7 years of blogging!
ReplyDeleteNo, I used to be quite thin (about 10½ stone) but I was never anorexic.
