random facts about yourself game thread thirteen

I mounted a ceiling fan over my bed last year..it was the best idea I ever had...but now I keep getting movie flashbacks...last night I felt like this>>

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1b26BD5KjH0&feature=related"]YouTube- Apocalypse Now Intro (The Doors - The End)

 

One of my favorite movies of all time - I keep the dvd on the shelf next to my bed for quick and easy access.

Love the opening lines:

"Saigon. Shit, I'm still in Saigon."

DO NOT watch the redux version - it is shit. Watch the original.

 

Today I signed up to take part in a boxing tournament. So I am going to try and drop a little bit of weight to fight against my friend

 

Is this the same friend that lost his teeth?

 

Haha, no

he did the last one (mentioned a while back I went to this boxing ball). He will be there for morale support though

We sound like a right bunch of idiots, but boxing is really quite a fun sport if you wear all the headgear

 

DAMN... i got the redux version, but never bothered to find out what redux meant! just assumed it meant a digitalised version... what's the difference? it was sooo long ago that i watched the original and wasn't able to concentrate on it too much back then... what IS the difference? i may well go get the original if it is a meaningful difference...

i just bought myself some decent speakers for my computer and i've been listening to loads of music'n stuff today

 

My dad used to be a boxer when he was a teenager, when he was in the army. I've never understood the attraction myself.. must be a man thing

 

I just live life, i've tried all sorts. I figured boxing in front of a few hundred people, may as well stick it on the bill.

I love sports though, think that's quite obvious. On Saturday i'm watching the speedway in Cardiff and get to meet the riders, hoping to ask someone how I can give it a try. Motorbikes with no brakes, yes please

 

My brother and his girlfriend recently went to Silverstone and had a go on their circuit. Not my kind of thing, but apparently it's fun.

I'm quite boring, I think I get it from my dad. I have started to really enjoy Cricket, and bought him tickets for this summer (mainly so I can go along with him ).

 

cricket :frown:

My random fact, thinking of racing circuits. I was there when Henry Surtees (son of the famous F1 racer and motorcycle champ) was killed at Brands Hatch last year

Didn't see the incident, but saw him get the stretcher away. He was pronounced dead there I think, after he took a wheel to the head. I think that really sucks

 

Didn't hear about that I don't think. I don't actually pay much attention to F1.

Poor guy

And, Oi! Cricket is fantastic
I only really watch a few - cricket, polo and rugby. You'll be saying you like snooker next

 

I am a huge snooker fan, I was brought up playing it with my grandfather

it's one of the few games I can actually insist I am good at and will beat somebody at

 

I played pool when I was little with my dad and brothers. I think playing it is better than watching it. But, my dad gets so excited about it, it's strange.

I still believe the caber toss, is just brilliant!

 

Watching it is great, you have to know the table and positional play to really appreciate the game for what it is

I've got a feeling.

 

dazed and confused is on tv...i like it cause its pretty much exactly what high school was like for me right down to the music,drugs and girls

 

i hated high school with a passion

 

I was bullied to hell in secondary (high) school. It was fun.

 

i smoked weed everyday for half the year then spent the second half bringing my grades back up..
