Some obscure facts about me include:

* I was barred from a Dagenham pub (for a whelk and cockle food fight, if you must know). I blame the folk I was with: the story was that they'd previously managed to steal a pool table from the place - during opening hours.

* I worked for 16 years in defence science research. It's ok to ask about it. The Head of Security says I won't have to shoot you, though that could be in the belief that what I did will bore you to death.

* I was in an earthquake in Japan and didn't realise till someone told me.
