Give one odd, strange or weird fact, or perhaps a secret, about yourself.

I went on a bus the other day and I had this strange uncomfortable feeling, couldn't work out why.

Anyway, once at home it dawned on me I hadn't been in a vehicle for a while; because I haven't had to go to London for work or pleasure recently, I buy many things via the web and if I l need anything else I have two large conurbation within 20 miles, I can basically cycle most places. Socialising by bicycle is a doddle in this country.

So a quick check of my bike journey records ( :nerd: ) reveal this odd fact about myself, previous to the bus journey I hadn't been inside or used any form of motor vehicle for ......   291 days.   :huh:

I'd like two strange facts. Nothing weird or odd though, please. :x

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

I'm a closet right-winger, affraid to affirm myself.  There, I said it, it feels good.

Second fact: I'm a shy guy in real life, I hate speaking in public, I'm not comfortable in a huge crowd, I prefer smaller intimate meetings with my friends than huge parties with 60-80 people.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

Sometimes I dream music in my sleep. Complete symphonic scores on the fly. I can never remember it all when I wake up, but someday I may get rich if I can get my hands on a dream recorder.

I imagine that would be a common trait among people who like to post a lot on some forum.

Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Dream recorder?
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Yeah. Of course, my wife might not like everything that it picks up.  :unsure:
