Number 4 is true. From my ninth floor office window I watched a scooterist move my Bird out of a motorcycle only bay onto double yellows so he could get his scooter in despite the fact that it had a u lock on the front wheel and the alarm was blaring.

By the time I got down there he had disappeared so the afore said manoeuvre was repeated in reverse. The scooter was still there outside the bay when I left to go home, sadly without a parking ticket, so I put my u lock on the front wheel. It was back parked in the bay the following morning, hopefully as the owner had been unable to use the scooter to get home. So I moved it out of the bay again. It went back into the bay during the day and I took the lock off when I went home that night, leaving a polite 'not' note on the seat. I have a feeling I may have let the air out of the front tyre as well but I can't remember, maybe rose tinted glasses on that one. I certainly thought about it.

Number 6 is indeed a lie. Lenny Henry had a character called Funky who was a bank manger - it was actually based on a senior manager in a business unit that I worked in who was called Funk and was in fact Lenny's bank manager. As well as a total knob but that's another story.


  1. I went out with James Hunt's sister for a while true, I didn't appreciate this at first. Bit older than me, nice lady but not a match made in heaven
  2. I went out with the daughter of a Black and White Minstrel for a while true - best looking girl for miles around. She dumped me. Her loss.
  3. I once helped Roger Daltrey reverse his car into a parking space true - in the underground car park at our head office. He had a totally beaten up,wreck of a Mercedes, looked like a taxi you would get in Ibiza. He was much smaller than I realised. Probably still is
  4. I once left my U lock on the front wheel of a scooter when the rider annoyed me true as before
  5. I once brought £30m worth of bearer share certificates home with me after a client meeting and slept with them under my pillow for safety. Absolutely true. And a bit scary! I had the choice of going back to the office and getting them properly recorded and in a secure location or going straight home. I went home. What could possibly go wrong....
  6. One of Lenny Henry's tv characters was based on me when I was his bank manager

I nominate @Minkey to do a list
