Was going to be a character called Rigger. One of the biggest disappointments of my career. To add insult to injury I then got a part in Midsomer Murders whedre I was so heavily cut my Stepdad actually rang me up to laugh at me. Happy days.

Me too, is there an easy way to learn to play, I have the coordination of an elephant fingering Cheryl Cole, but have always wanted to play a guitar.

1) I am part of a group which is the youngest ever performer at the Forest Fringe for a play I devised the idea, co-directed and produced as well as the dramaturgy. I've also devised the opening play of the International Youth Arts Festival in Kingston at the Arthur Cotrill Theatre. This was mentioned (but not our group by name, more the festival as a whole) on Loose Women.
2) Despite being young, i'm actually engaged to be married after I finish my degree.
3) Yesterday I was told i'm being promoted to shift manager. This will mean i'm a manager by 19, and in a few years I could be running my own McDonalds resturant.
4) Tonight i'm going to the X Factor Auditions in London, at the O2
5) I study Forensic Computing at the University of Portsmouth.

Going on the theme of some other postings, 5 more:

1. I've never broken a bone in my body.

2. When I was between 5 and 12ish I went for weeks at a time without having a poo. Doctors were worried I had poisoned myself several times.

3. I was born with the cord around my neck and had oxygen starvation. Very close to some severe disabilities.

4. I have 2 weird moles that I'm too scared to get checked.

5. I've kissed Kerry Katona, not hugely proud of that.

1. Thanks to my daugher BAG on here, who argued with a doctor at the RSCH to give me a CT scan which showed up loads of blood clots on my lungs, over new year 2010, I am still here and not pushing up daisies ( as he was sending me home)
2. I once scored 177 not out against Ferring and a few weeks before took 9 for 16 against Shoreham with the wicketkeeper dropping what would have been my 10th wicket.
3. My father was good friends with Chris Balderstone, the international Umpire, England cricketer and professional footballer ( I may be an urban myth in my family, but I am sure he is my God father)
4. My father died at 52 and I was lying on a bed in A&E being told I was having a heart attack, aged 52 and within 12 days of him dying some 18 odd years previously.
5. I ended up sitting in the front row at the Royal Albert Hall singing Brahms Requiem, sat in eye line of Sir David Willcocks the world famous conductor ( and apart from 2 letters, my namesake) as I said I had sung it before...trouble is I had only sung it in English and we sung it in German :-(
