Name An Unusual Fact That Few People Know About You?

I can lick my elbow.

I'll pretty much do anything for charity, and
I’m not rowing :)

William Carver

Will, Billy, Oi You. (oh god not you again)

Not rowing! My specialty is lying on the sofa watching F1.

Almost certainly rowing!

 

Name An Unusual Fact That Few People Know About You?

I once stood in a queue outside Gare de Nor in Paris
next to Cpt Picard (well Patrick Stewart) and couldn't bring myself to speak to him.

 

Why Are You Doing This?

I've done something for the CBC every year for the last four or five years, and rather than shoot clay pigeons I thoughts, "I know lets go for a little row".....

Ben Brown

 

What Do You Do Best?

Being so good at so much, struggling to pick out one specific thing, maybe modesty ;-)

 

What Do You Do Worst?

Light embroidery (that comes in close second to rowing but I feel that rowing may be common theme here so thought I would put something else).

 

Name An Unusual Fact That Few People Know About You?

I can twist both my feet through 180 degrees simultaneously so they are facing backwards, and then promptly fall over.  One of the most useful skills I have as I am sure you can imagine.

 

Why Are You Doing This?

2 reasons, this is a great charity and having done some, shall we say, slightly less active forms of fund raising for them in the past I thought it was high time to do something that involved a

little more than just standing around.  Second reason is a vain

attempt to get fit.

 

And I was told I would get a sticker

if I did it…..

Why Are You Doing This?

The Child Bereavement Charity, as Ben says, is a fantastic charity, that and I misunderstood Will's promise of 'a nice quiet day out on the river'

 What Do You Do Best?

Name An Unusual Fact That Few People Know About You?

I once trained as a Jedi night, but the force was not strong in me

 

Why Are You Doing This?

Because I was not really listening when I was asked to do this rowing thing… I thought I was going to be rowed down the Thames, not have to do it myself!
