For my dad's 60th birthday I bought him an airfix model of Harrier Jump Jet, I did this because it was the first model he bought me (I would have been about 8). It turns out that the reason he bought me the model was because it was the first aircraft he worked on in a wind tunnel as an Auronautical Engineer. I knew my dad was cool, but I didn't realise he was Harrier Jump Jet cool until he was 60.

I believe people are inherently good and everyone can make a difference.



oh, you wanted a fact......it's not cool, but it is boasting. I'm an Ironman. Rargghhhhh!

Here's a couple of randoms.

My great aunt (Mary Norton) wrote The Borrowers and Bedknobs and Broomsticks.

I had to bribe my way into Indonesia when I was backpacking aged 18 (1988). Cost me a few sleepless nights (I've seen Midnight Express) and the princely sum of $20AUD.


c'mon chaps and chappesses...... sure there's plenty of interesting things we don't know about y'all.

I once served Paul Daniels and Debbie McGee in a restaurant I worked at. They were relatively local, and brought some kids in with them. Not sure if they were grandchildren or what - but I digress. I put them on a quiet corner table and seated people away from them. They must've been pleased, because they gave me a decent tip.

I've had my legs waxed for charity once. The hair never grew back properly, so my legs are super silky in places ;)

My dads cousin (Andy White) played the drums on the Beatles single "Love Me Do".

I once saved the day so a Will Young concert could go ahead at the last minute.

My Dad raced go karts with Nigel Mansell.

I was attacked by an alligator.

Some will already be aware but for two years I worked as a Private Eye specialising in covert surveillance.

Whatever's gone wrong it's not my fault.

A young sulky was very drunk once and borrowed a football whist in war torn bosnia

Not really an issue but the football belonged to Croatian soldiers who were using it at the time.

Several cockng of ak47's later a drunk sulky handed their football back

Then went to the pub and got slightly more drunk


I came into this world with nothing,
through careful management I\'ve got most of it left.

Gate crashed Lemmy's birthday party pretending I was a relative (I was 11)

Arrested for organised crime...... I walked no proof (19)

Poster boy for a government employment training incentive (16)

Made the front page of Japans largest newspaper "Asashi Shinbun" after the 2002 world cup..... "Fooligan" was the headline. A tad harsh for just picking up the worlds smallest policeman and helping him over the road

Helped build the Worlds largest drivable TV and played porn on it to test the picture

If this reads like a CV Ill add that I'm a close relative to Rolf Harris just to throw any misconceptions as to how epic I am :byebye:
