oh wrong forum sorry!

lol!

When i was about 3 or 4 i think me and me dad were watching one of the Rocky films. I having prevoisly seen a trailer for Rambo asked:

"Dad how can Rocky be Rambo?"

My Dad, the comicial genius that he is replied something like this:

"Well son, Rambo is his day job, when he goes home to Adriane at the weekends he does his boxing."

So with that I asked:

"What about Cliffhanger?"

And again my dad being the comical genuis that he is not realising how this conversation would effect me for the next 3 or 4 years said:

"Yeah well Rambo does a bit of rock climbing too, when he gets the chance, helps strenghen his muscles so he can batter Mr. T and Ivan Drago and play football to escape from the NAZI's."

This all sounded perfectly reasonable so I used to think that all actors where just doing there jobs in films FOR THE NEXT 3 OR 4 YEARS.

Until i seen "Stop or my mom will shoot!" and that just killed the dream, and the acting career of a certain star.

When I was younger (7 or 8) a french student who was staying with a neighbour during thesummer told me that my name is French was "Spot". I told my brother he told me it was a dogs name I would not believe him. So he proceeded to call me Spot in front of his friends and he explained why he was doing it to them and they all laugh. Still cringe about it to this day

I used to think that the lead in a pencil was actually the tail of a dead rat and was horrified when I saw my friends chew on the top of them cause it really meant they were eating rats tails.
I believed my mum when she told me that if I lied a black spot would come on my tongue and that it was a spot only mums and dads could see.
I also used to believe my parents story about a woman called Mrs Maguire who drove a red van and would collect bold children and take them away to her house. This story was trotted out when we were misbehaving. Anyway one afternoon I was playing quite happily in the front garden having done nothing wrong (for once) when this red van turned in the gate and up the drive way. Out of the van got...........an nasty looking middle aged woman:eek: I was hysterical with fear and it took my parents ages to calm me down. Turned out the woman was at the wrong house anyway but Mrs Maguire was never threatened on any of us ever again.

My Nana used to tell me when I was making to much noise that I'd wake the man in Howth (?) and he would come up through the man hole in her backgarden and take me away and I'd have to be his wife and never see my parents again.

I also believed that carebears did actually live on the clouds, and I used to get really excited when we were going on a plane until my Mam told me God actually lived on the clouds. I never saw him though. Not once.

My Dad once told me when he really injured his neck that he got it from when he was working in a building site, that the building started collapsing and that he spotted a cat and her kittens walking across the roof and he held it up so they could keep walking across, and when they eventually got across that he couldnt hold it up anymore and then the building collapsed around him. I told everyone that story.

My Grandad told me he could take out his eyeball, one day he took an eye off an old teddy bear, pretended to pop out his eye and showed me the teddy eye, I was in hysterics for about an hour.

My parents also told me I was born on a ferry on the way to England. dont know why.

You obviously dont know me at all.
