Do you remember what I asked here? One is a lie, the other two are truths.

1) I've been on the front page of the Sydney Morning Herald (main serious Sydney newspaper) more than 10 times.

2) I secretly swooned over Andy Gibb in my teenage years.

3) I have no uvula.


And the answer is...

1) is true. My dad worked on the Sydney Morning Herald, and for the last 15 years of his worklife he was the editor of Column 8, which used to be on the front page. Prior to that he was always submitting things about his dear children to the then-editors. I have definitely been on the front page more than 10 times.

3) is also true. About 10 years ago, I had an operation designed to cut down on the snoring. One thing the doctor recommended was the removal of the uvula to try and tighten the back palate. Don't get it done. It doesn't work too well, and I've ended up with occasional swallowing problems as a result.

2) is false. I never had a thing for *any* of the Gibb brothers. It was Shaun Cassidy who had me swooning at age 14.

You may commence horrified screaming now.

Really? How about John Travolta, as Vinnie Barbarino?

Never really did it for me, and I watched some of "Welcome Back, Kotter", as well as "The Boy in the Bubble". In fact, one of my first "allowed to go to town with a bunch from school" was to watch "Grease" - nope, still didn't do it for me.

Shaun Cassidy was my first concern. I was 7th or 8th grade

Of course, it might be too late for me to deny everything :-)
