You are such a fibber!
you were never a student!
and I knew you would do this!!

True i wasn't a student but my mate was and we played in the " University Challange Tiddlywinks Doubles Tournament" held in Nottingham 1965.
Google it if you doubt my word!!

I was just thinking,not that i have time to think much with my busy hectic work schedule,but people who come on here wouldn't really be the types for " extreme sports"!!
They'd do things like Nordic Walking-Chess-embroidery-pottery classes and things like that wouldn''t they?
Not things like kick boxing - mountaineering- wall of death motor cycling or white knuckle canoeing!! I'm probably the exception on here!!
Just a thought!!
