1. In the late 70's I used to write angry poetry which got published in a punk/new wave fanzine called Making Time. Paul Weller read them and wrote me a very nice letter telling me not to give up writing. Which of course I did a few years later when success was not forthcoming.
2. I worked at an onion bhaji factory for 2 weeks until my fingers began to get stained yellow from the onion juice.
3. I am half white English, a quarter German, and a quarter Indian. My grandparents were very big in the Raj.
4. I have a 5 year old daughter and a 3 year old son.
5. I performed (magic I hasten to add) for the twins from last year's Big Brother.

1.) If you didn't alreasdy know my REAL name is Ruairidh. That's the Irisih Gaelic spelling!

2.)My Mum is probably the primary reason, or bringer of attention of the reason that Ray Lewis, one of Borris Johnson's aides had to publically resign.

3.) I was excluded from my sixth form college for 2 weeks after aiding someone who wanted to staple their fingers.

4.)I have a seriously cool Debbie Harry tee-shirt on right now.

5.) Daniel Beddingfield's personal number is in my phone!

1. I have no sense of smell, whatsoever

2. Have an intimate tattoo

3. Once a born-again Christian, now an atheist more or less

4. Don't have the personal numbers of any B-list celebrities in my phone

5. Managed to reach the age of 36 without ever having a blood test but was foiled in the end

1. I personally insulted Paul Daniels (and he in turn personally insulted my girlfriend) at the IMS a couple of years ago. Then I shoed him a card trick and he said I was good

2. My palm reading skills at work are so legendary that even the new starters who have never seen me are aware that someone in the building is "a really fantastic palmist"

3. I play mind games on strangers on the bus for fun (although I don't often catch the bus now I can drive)

4. I lied to EVERYONE about the date of my driving test so I wouldn't get all the "ooh good luck just do this, dont do that" stuff which I figured would do more harm than good. Turns out the lie was so good that I forgot to take my licence to my test and my instructor had to drive me back home to pick it up once I realised. After I passed the test (4 minors!!) I went home, got in my car and was promptly flagged down by my brother who told me I was breaking the law by driving.

5. I like to hypnotise people without them being aware of it...

I'm a vegetarian, I have been since I was three, don't know why but I still am to this day and I have tried meat before and don't care for it.

My hair, if long enough can be picked into and enormous fro.

I've been thrown out of a light house while on vacation ( That was awkward.)

I crashed a golf cart into a bright yellow fire hydrant, on accident. (Not of driving age yet but when I can, watch out)

When not doing magic I do act in cheesy homemade movies. I won't bother you with any and trust me you don't want to watch them

Wahey! another Welsh speaker on the forum!! Gallen ni cymeryd y mic allan o'r saeson efo'n gilydd felly!

Gallen ni cymeryd y mic allan o'r saeson efo'n gilydd felly

Speak in Welsh and my brothers winter eats gilded tellys?

Speak in Welsh and we can take the mick out of the Saxons without them knowing?

Gallstones in my cummerbund are my only other seasonal ill?



Cymraeg ydy a 'n benffol dafodiaith unrhyw ffordd.



Please note there is a high likelihood I said something unintentionally rude

1. I'm a relative of Bomardier Billy Wells - the guy who beats the gong at the start of the classic Rank movies.

2. I credit myself as being the reason that iMovie is a good piece of software. To my knowledge, I'm the only person who publically slated it in the mainstream press when it was first launched, and the vast majority of my criticisms were miraculously addressed in version 2.0.

3. I'm very humble about the iMovie thing.

4. You should hear my modest anecdotes about JVC!

5. I didn't learn to drive until the age of 36.

6. I run a punk rock DVD label.

7. I've had three books published (all of which are available on Amazon).

8. I consider myself an agnostic Buddhist.

9. I've never been known to stop at five.

1. a few years ago, the legendary soul singer shook Edwin Starr came over and shook my hand and paid me compliments on my dancing abilities at his gig

2. i've never kissed a wasp

3. on my mum's side - there's some old east end psychics

4. apparently this morning, the two mentalists jim callahan and mick ayres "discussed me" over a breakfast meeting...

5. i am on an album..possibly two...

1. I have had jelly babies from Doctor Who (OK, it was Tom Baker, who was the Doctor at the time, and he was doing a book signing - not anything inapproriate!). I might (though probably not) have been responsible for the return of the Master in 'The Keeper of Traken'.

2. I won a talent contest when I was in college. By doing impressions.

3. I passed my driving test first time, when I was 18, and have never driven since.

4. I've had champagne supplied by Derren Brown.

5. I have (as far as I know) never broken a bone (or been stung by a wasp or bee).

Bonus: I am amazed that Pete learned to drive when he was 36, as his profile claims that he's still only 35...

Shame the board doesn't update these things automatically... I really don't want everyone to know I'm now 36. So just pretend it's a temporal anomoly and you're getting an echo from the future...

1. I was a professional ballroom dance instructor for 2 years of my life.

2. I have 45 minutes of television time, doing magic.

3. I am alergic to tetnus shots (whatever that stuff is...).

What i said was "we can take the mick out of the English together then! (followed by a wink so as not to offend most of the forum, and then I wake up tomorrow to find myself banned for ever ) As for the welsh sentence at the end Ecko, I'm not all that sure what it means. Have you been feeding words into a translator by any chance?

I certainly have

it was supposed to say "Welsh is a silly language anyway" but the only word that even resembles being correct seems to be Cymraeg... Hmm.

You could say "Mae Cymraeg yn iaith twp fodd bynnag". Although I'm sure you don't mean that (because if you do I'll have to set my army of angry sheep on you)
