    I’ve a vague memory of being in a buggy when it was raining and watching the rain hit off the plastic cover that shielded the opening. Also when I was nearly 3 I fell through a glass table, I remember being held down as the doctor stitched up my head.

    How far back does your memory go?

    My Mam coming to collect me from my aunts house when she came outta hospital after having my sister. I remember hiding behind an arm chair and she was trying to coax me from behind it. There's only 20 months between us so I reckon that's a pretty early memory!

    Sticking two spit soaked lollipops to my head in an effort to make horns, and then having to have them cut out by my mum and endure two bald patches.

    I think I was about 3.

    People probably don't know what their earliest memory actually is.

    probably dropping a glass belong to my dad and being more upset about dropping the glass than the fact I stepped backwards onto it and then needed a 3 inch shard of it pulled out of the heel of my foot.

    Remember when I was very young throwing the radio in the kitchen to the floor because I wanted to see the little man who was talking inside it.

    Well without the risk of sounding facetious, if they don't know what it is, it's not a memory!

    How did you manage to spend 18 years in school?

    9 years Primary School
    5 years Secondary School
    4 years College

    9+5+4=18!
    See I did Honours Maths too :D
    No staying back or repeating either

    Imagine the odds on two babies spending part of the childhoods in a buggy.

    My earliest memory is sitting in the window sill of my bedroom waiting for my dad to come home from work. Apparently every day I would go up there about five minutes before he arrived home and sit and watch for his car.

    Sounds like a good opener for a mawkish country and western tune.

    And then one day, my daddy, he didn't come home.
