    Some more 'haves' -


    I've owned 5 Shih-Tzu dogs from pups, 35 years ago when they were virtually unknown. People used to constantly stop us in the street to ask about them.

    I've danced with Jimmy Somerville, been to a party where the Pet Shop Boys were guests, had tea with Limahl, and persuaded a 14 year old Andy Gibb to get me autographs of his older, famous brothers, The BeeGees, at a concert, when he was unknown.

    I was almost killed by a motorcycle abroad, going the wrong way up a one-way-street as I was crossing.

    I have received letters from Buckingham Palace and the creator of the Tintin stories, Herge.

    I have kissed a girl.

    I've been in several accidents whilst travelling on London buses.

    I found a dead man in the street in Central London.

    I have been in a Soho brothel with a friend (a drunken laugh, something he wanted to do) and we got chased out by the Madam.

    Have been out of my head on magic mushrooms with my husband, on our first weekend in Amsterdam. (Never again!)

    When I was 11-years-old, I went over the handlebars of my bike one evening and badly hurt my leg. Rather than take me to A&E, my parents said they would see how I was in the morning and call out a doctor if needs be.

    The following day, the doctor (Doctor Wheeler his name was) duly came out and took a look at me. He said my leg was probably just badly bruised and that I should put a support bandage on it, which my parents duly did, causing me a great deal of pain.

    I hobbled around on my leg with the aid of a walking stick for 8 days until my mum walked me to the local surgery to see my regular GP for a second opinion. He sent me straight to A&E, where an X-ray revealed I had broken my left leg just above the knee. I was admitted and spent several days in bed with my leg in the air in traction to straighten it, as it had started to heal itself in the wrong position.

    True story.

    Ah, I thought you meant with no support at all. That's why I found it difficult to believe. I suppose you might have been able to manage it if you had support.

    To be fair, that could be anything from a mini-toblerone to something the size of a stovepipe.

    I once, in a moment of acute emotional stress, ate a Terry's chocolate orange. They are 926 calories. I did feel sickish and a bit odd afterwards, but that was nothing to the self-loathing that followed me for the next year.

    Well I say "half" because it was one night I was coming home late many, many years ago and myself, two other blokes and a young woman all piled in to a taxi because we were all going in the same direction.

    When the woman got out, she proceeded to kiss everyone in the taxi, including me - and not a full-on snog either!

    I thought it only counted as a "half" :)

    It's so sad when people need to put "had sex........" As one of their " I HAVE".

    There is so much in this wonderful world, ask this question in any other country it will different. Only in Britian would anyone even consider "sex" as an accomplishment.
