Meme: Nine truths and a lie.

Stolen from loganberrybunny, and with no obligation on anyone to do it.

Here are nine truths and a lie about me. Which one's the lie?

1. One of my secret fears is slugs and snails.
2. I was once close to an IRA bomb.
3. I was a mad keen Bay City Rollers fan.
4. I won first prize in an Australia-wide Girl Guide First Aid competition.
5. Instead of just letting me pick the regular 5 books off the list for the Brownie reading badge, my mother made me read all of them.
6. I have Tom Baker's signature and one of his (very old) Dr Who jelly babies in a box.
7. I've marched three times in the Sydney Mardi Gras.
8. I've served alcohol to one of Australia's former Prime Ministers and a High Court Judge.
9. My grandmothers were Marjorie and Nancy.
10. My son da_norvegicus's birth was announced on the front page of the Sydney Morning Herald.

I'll leave this up for a week. Have fun! (And do state why you've chosen a particular one as the lie. I'd love to see your reasoning).
