Meme: Nine truths and a lie.

[reynardo]

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).

all us schoolkid fans got to see/meet him at least once

No, we didn't (sniff). This huge Tom Baker fan was aware of him appearing at a shopping centre a few suburbs away, but my parents were busy and unable to take me. I had buried the trauma of this event until now, but you've reminded me! Argh!

Although my dad did bring home a Tom Baker Prime Computer poster from work in 1980. It was prominently displayed in my room for many years, even after my brother accidentally ripped it while waving his belt around. At the time I would almost have rather the belt buckle had hit me instead.

I was absolutely delighted when he married Lalla Ward. Later I couldn't understand why they spilt up. Much later still I learned what an unhealthy relationship it was, although I still can't understand why Lalla had to marry Richard Dawkins.

Er, yes, anyway, enough of my Tom Baker obsessions...
