True or false
 

New game - quite simple

Each person has to list five facts about themselves, only one of the facts needs to be true. The person who guesses correctly which fact is true then has to take the baton and list five facts about themselves and so on.

You can only have one guess for each person, so if you're wrong about me, you'll have to wait until someone gets it right and posts their five 'facts'. You have to wait until you're told that you're correct or not before posting your five 'facts', but of course, other people can continue guessing if they think you might be wrong.

So here are mine

1. I was the under 15 badminton champion of Hyndburn
2. I have a small birth mark on my lower back that looks like a teacup
3. I eat marmite out of the jar with my fingers
4. I took part in a TV scrabble competition
5. I once grew my finger nails to over an inch long

Probably, not too hard to guess but which one do you think is true???????

Re: True or false
 

I can see you doing three, but I do happen to know which it is so I'll keep it shut and let someone have a go......:)

Re: True or false
 

Hmmm, that's a toughie.....

I think I'll go with the TV Scrabble thingy..:D

Re: True or false
 

Number four- tv scrabble competition?

Re: True or false
 

Lol, snap Lettie, exactly same time.

Re: True or false
 

Well, they do say that great minds think alike...:D

Re: True or false
 

It was close but Lettie got it first, I said it was probably too easy.

I took part in the family TV scrabble a couple of years ago with my Mother in Law and out of 32 teams we came second. We made it to the final but we were well and truly trounced.

So, Lettie, it's up to you to give us five 'facts'

Re: True or false
 

Ok, five facts about myself, one of which is true. Have a guess...:D

1) As a child I got a garden pea stuck up my nose and had to go to casualty.

2) My middle name is Geraldine.

3) I trained at the Italian ski school as a ski instructor.

4) I have climbed Mount Olympus.

5) I have six toes on my left foot.

Good luck.................;)

Re: True or false
 

I'm torn between No 2 and No 4. so I'll go for the fact that have climbed Mount Olympus....

Re: True or false
 

Well done Doug... Yes, I have climbed Mount Olympus.... Twice!!!!

It was a long slog, I was on holiday at my cousin's house in Cyprus. He is a PT Instructor for the RAF. It took us a few hours to get up there and we went via the bush. When I got to the top (knackered), I discovered that the road ends 100m from the top and you can actually drive up there. Needless to say, after dropping my cousin off at the nearest hospital so that the surgeons could remove my walking boot from his rectum, I agreed to go up there with him a second time (he was mapping routes to take the troops up for their PT).

The Italian ski school did offer me a place to train as an instructor (I was 15) I never took up the offer.:rolleyes:

It's your turn Doug..

Re: True or false
 

Five facts about myself, one of which is true. Have a guess...


1. I flew RAF ground attack fighters in the early eighties.
2. I’m worth 1.8 million
3. I am blind in my right eye
4. I speak to dead people
5. I was once shot in the face.

All the best....

Re: True or false
 

Going for number 5 shot in the face.

Re: True or false
 

Back in the late seventies I was involved in a small exchange with four other people. I was shot at close range and a slug entered my left cheek grazed my jaw bone and lodged under my jaw. I didn’t feel it but I heard it coming and I heard it hit. It’s still in there to this day. Well done.

your turn:)

Re: True or false
 

oh i know this one i seem to remember putting my foot in it once it number 3 am i right?

Re: True or false
 

Your half right, its the left eye not the right. and no you didn't put your foot in it.....:)

Re: True or false

2; Broke a friends jaw.

3; Nearly drowned in the sea.

Re: True or false
 

Well if tea and suspenders is your thing its fine by me. As to the answer 3 nope it aint that sorry (working and posting is hard by the way boss will kill me if she knew what I was up to).

Re: True or false
 

Hee hee, ok Spug, we'll let you off, and won't tell your boss.;)

Re: True or false
 

No 1. - 24 hour climb.

Re: True or false
 

Re: True or false
 

Yep spot on John and it was not as much fun as it sounds I was knakered after it. Now the ball is in your court.

Re: True or false
 

As to te rest of the options

2 Broke his head not his jaw
3 Nearly drowned in the lodge that was behind the ressies at the top of Bolton Avenue before they built the houses
4 love chilli con carne
5 Only managed to do the second half of the Ultimate Chalange walk

Re: True or false
 

OK here we go:

1) I once told Brian Epstein (Beatles manager) to "p*** off" when he offered the band, in which I played drums, work in Liverpool at, what I considered to be, poor money.
2) I have visited every continent in the world.
3) I am married to my fourth wife.
4) Here in America, I live on a stretch of river which is three miles wide and have a lovely boat at the bottom of my garden.
5) I am the CFO of a large, well-known International company.

Re: True or false
 

Again I know this one so I'll pass it over for someone else. I am open to bribery like most people however........:)

Re: True or false
 

You are obviously far too well read Mr. Doug. ;)

Re: True or false
 

Re: True or false
 

I will go with number 4 John??

Re: True or false
 

Absolutely Mr. Doug. :)

Re: True or false
 

Sorry Slinks, you're wrong, but I wish you were right.

Re: True or false
 

It could be arranged for a rather large fee...........:)

Re: True or false
 

I'll go for the first one - you told Brian Epstein where to go!

Re: True or false
 

[quote=Gayle]I'll go for the first one - you told Brian Epstein where to

Yes Gayle, correct. What a total tosspot eh?

For the others:

I've been to Europe, Asia and North America
I am married to my third wife
I would love to live on the St. Johns river and have a lovely boat, but it's a bit too expensive
If I was the CFO of an international well-known company, I probably would live on the river and have the boat. I am an accountant, but never have been, and never will be, the CFO of such a company.

Re: True or false
 

Here's another five about me

1. The little finger on my left hand is shorter than the one on my right by a full cm
2. I have a pierced belly button
3. My middle names are Bernadette Mary
4. I've owned over 52 cars since learning to drive (not at the same time)
5. I've been chatted up by Gary Barlow

Re: True or false
 

Oh, I think I know the answer to this one, but as I can`t think of one interesting fact about myself I`d better keep mum!!

Re: True or false
 

This is a set up I think. I feel the answer is a personal one so people who are polite won’t go for it. However this being me I have little difficulty in saying you have a pierced belly button…No 2 then….

Re: True or false
 

No, Doug - sorry, it's not that. Apparently it hurts - I do have a lot of earrings in my ears though and that hurt enough thank you very much.

Uncle Mick probably does know the answer but he also knows that I'd probably know the answer to his - that's why he's too much of a coward to have a go.

Re: True or false
 

[quote=Gayle]
3. My middle names are Bernadette Mary

Iwill go for this one then:D

Re: True or false
 

Yes, it was the boring option. So, over to you Slinky - five facts please!

Re: True or false
 

To clarify

Both my little fingers are of standard and equal size
My belly button is free from piercing
I've owned quite a few cars (mostly bangers) but not that many and
as for being chatted up by Gary Barlow - I wish! lol

So yes, my middle names are Bernadette Mary - good Catholic names, to be sure!

Re: True or false
 

Yup, I was right...GBH with added Mary. I`m up to two interesting facts now so I might have a go!

Re: True or false
 

Still waiting for Slinky's five. I'll pm her.

Re: True or false
 

You Bully!!!!

Re: True or false
 

All right then, you do five instead!

Re: True or false

I have long Blondie hair
I got married when I was 16 years old

Re: True or false

Re: True or false
 

Ah, I was going to say that if you'd met Winston Churchill you'd have to be about 70 or 80 ish but I think that's a trick one because he had a nephew who was also called Winston Churchill - so I'm going to go for No. 5.

Re: True or false

Re: True or false
 

No 2 my friend............:)

Re: True or false

Re: True or false

Re: True or false

Re: True or false
 

Yes and some are quite good at it, believe me………:) :) :)

Re: True or false
 

First one, the many jobs.

Re: True or false
 

you have cracked it rind,the only reason i know= in the 70s i recieved a letter from newcastle,telling me i owed £48 odd for stamps that were missing in the 60s and i had to list all the jobs(start@finish)dates this took me months and i missed a few out(cash in hand @paid by day) cos i couldnt remember all them:D when finished i counted them up for curiosity and was amazed to get above 50, seems incredible now with the crap job situation,but thats the true fact,- over too you rindy.:)

1/Got drunk in Kensington Palace.
2/Made a shirt for John Profumo?
3/Seen Warren Mitchell naked?

5/Spent the night in a cardboard house in Rome.

Re: True or false
 

Flippin eck I can't have a go cos I know which one you haven't done!!!! :(

Re: True or false
 

You haven't got lost in the Sahara Desert, you couldn't be that silly Gary?

Re: True or false
 

Correct John. :)
Your turn, here comes your pm.

Re: True or false
 

OK, as you know from my previous clues I was in a group in the sixties, so, which one of these bands have I NOT opened for?

1) Rolling Stones
2) The Beatles
3) Johnny Dankworth Orchestra
4) The Shadows
5) B Bumble and the Stingers
6) Gerry and the Pacemakers
7) The Searchers
8) Freddie and the Dreamers

Re: True or false
 

would think the shadows?

Re: True or false
 

Very good Cashman, you are correct. I would have thought the first pick would have been Johnny Dankworth as it was a little incongruous having a sixties beat group open for a jazz influenced orchestra. However, well done, over to you.

Re: True or false

3. I crash a Motor Bike at High Speed in the wet and travelled along the road on my side for a third of a mile still in the sitting position…..?

4. I saluted a High ranking RAF Officer Starke Bo**ock naked, wearing now’t but a worried look on my face?

5. I fell off Striding Edge at the age of fourteen and only saved by a mate who grabbing me and pulling me back up…

Re: True or false
 

I'm not going to have a go because if I got it right I'd have to think of five more things - plus I've done two lists already. But I so want No. 4 to be true!
