Very sporting of Nathan to donate his go to BigG.
I’m glad everyone taking part still seems to be enjoying it and, once everyone has had a go, we can all come up with a further ten about ourselves if we want to keep it going for a while longer.

Well done on your win Nathan. I am looking forward to seeing what BigG comes up with!
February 20, 2024 at 23:52 #1681903LOL
Well I thought I hadn’t better win every time.
Well done Nathan, if one Somerset man doesn’t win another one does.Excellent stuff, look forward to BigG’s tales of valour.

February 21, 2024 at 02:33 #1681910Just read this and have to attend an appointment in Glasgow tomorrow,
but in the spirit of camaraderie I’ll have a go at revealing what
lies beneath my Cheltenham fedora when I get back.February 21, 2024 at 05:44 #1681911Nice questions Hommer, 35 years in the same job, takes some doing.
February 21, 2024 at 07:15 #1681912My coin is even worse at this than I am

Thanks for the answers Homer. Moving house and job interviews are two of the most stressful things you can do, anything you can do to minimise having to do either is very sensible indeed.
February 21, 2024 at 10:44 #1681930Thought I might as well get these on before I left.
1. I travelled in a plane from Italy to Glasgow sitting beside
Dennis Law (the footballer).2. My mother once hauled a headmaster across his desk and bitch
slapped him because a teacher burst my hand with a pointer.3 I once arrived back at a Guest House about 3am soaked and without my key.
Being on the ground floor I managed to jemmy the window open
but going in head first I pulled the curtains, the rail and the plaster
out the wall.4. The first racecourse I visited was Hamilton Park.
5. I have a black belt in Judo.
6. I told my now wife when I met her that I was 21 when I
was only 18 (she was 20)7. I bet Norton’s Coin at 200/1 on the day of his win in the
Cheltenham Gold Cup.8. I once tripped and fell through a co-0p plate glass window and was
arrested by the the Old Bill in St Ives.9. I had tea with Rod Stewart and Kelly Emberg after a Scotland Football
match at Hampden.10 I once spent 5 hours in an empty horsebox, temperature -2, parked in a
motorway service station.February 21, 2024 at 20:01 #16820231. I travelled in a plane from Italy to Glasgow sitting beside Dennis Law (the footballer).
FALSE, You were the Law and sat next to a criminal called Dennis when bringing him back from Italy to Glasgow?2. My mother once hauled a headmaster across his desk and bitch slapped him because a teacher burst my hand with a pointer.
TRUE, I just want it to be. It wasn’t exactly the headmaster’s fault but if he defended the teacher can see she might lash out.3 I once arrived back at a Guest House about 3am soaked and without my key. Being on the ground floor I managed to jemmy the window open but going in head first I pulled the curtains, the rail and the plaster
out the wall.
FALSE, You couldn’t fit so sent your wife through the window.4. The first racecourse I visited was Hamilton Park.
TRUE Glasgow fits, but does it fit too much?5. I have a black belt in Judo.
FALSE, To a good standard yes, but black belt? If true then Wow!6. I told my now wife when I met her that I was 21 when I
was only 18 (she was 20)
TRUE Naughty BigG, but romantic.7. I bet Norton’s Coin at 200/1 on the day of his win in the Cheltenham Gold Cup.
…Backed Norton’s Coin, yes. Could be 200/1 as I know you like big priced horses, but before exchanges – probably 100/1 or 150/1. Back then very few bookmakers would go 200/1.
EDIT: TRUE Remembering back, I believe Ladbrokes in particular used to make an exception in the big races, so… TRUE.8. I once tripped and fell through a co-0p plate glass window and was arrested by the the Old Bill in St Ives.
FALSE, You may well have tripped and fallen through, but for them to call the Old Bill seems overkill. Especially as doing the right thing is important to you. Am sure you’d agree to pay for it to be replaced without the police getting involved… Unless the thing you tripped on should not have been there…9. I had tea with Rod Stewart and Kelly Emberg after a Scotland Football
match at Hampden.
TRUE, You may have been in charge of his security.10 I once spent 5 hours in an empty horsebox, temperature -2, parked in a
motorway service station.
A stake out!… EDIT: FALSE But maybe you ordered someone else to do it. So… FALSEValue Is EverythingFebruary 21, 2024 at 20:30 #1682026Great statements BigG, incredible how true or false every single statement can be.
Excellent work, mate.1. TRUE
2. FALSE
3. TRUE
4. FALSE
5. TRUE
6. TRUE
7. FALSE
8. FALSE
9. FALSE
10. TRUEFebruary 21, 2024 at 22:14 #1682034I thought you’d have some great questions BigG, and they did not disappoint! Very tricky again…
1. I travelled in a plane from Italy to Glasgow sitting beside
Dennis Law (the footballer).FALSE
2. My mother once hauled a headmaster across his desk and bitch
slapped him because a teacher burst my hand with a pointer.FALSE, this is a tricky one. I can believe your mother would not hesitate to leap to the defence of little BigG, but am struggling to believe you would be fragile enough to be injured in this way!
3 I once arrived back at a Guest House about 3am soaked and without my key.
Being on the ground floor I managed to jemmy the window open
but going in head first I pulled the curtains, the rail and the plaster
out the wall.FALSE
4. The first racecourse I visited was Hamilton Park.
TRUE, I get the impression this is your part of the world, so have said true, though this might be a trap.
5. I have a black belt in Judo.
FALSE
6. I told my now wife when I met her that I was 21 when I
was only 18 (she was 20)TRUE, sounds believable anyway!
7. I bet Norton’s Coin at 200/1 on the day of his win in the
Cheltenham Gold Cup.TRUE
8. I once tripped and fell through a co-0p plate glass window and was
arrested by the the Old Bill in St Ives.FALSE, I’ve got so many questions here! Surely the glass in a shop front would be too strong? Why would you get arrested? Isn’t St Ives too posh to have a Co-op?!
9. I had tea with Rod Stewart and Kelly Emberg after a Scotland Football
match at Hampden.TRUE
10 I once spent 5 hours in an empty horsebox, temperature -2, parked in a
motorway service station.TRUE, had you been kidnapped?
February 21, 2024 at 22:44 #1682036These are brilliant, BigG, thank you.
Here goes….
1. I travelled on a plane from Italy to Glasgow sitting beside Dennis Law (the footballer).
FALSE2. My mother once hauled a headmaster across his desk and bitch slapped him because a teacher burst my hand with a pointer.
I want this to be TRUE so much it had to be!3 I once arrived back at a Guest House about 3am soaked and without my key.
Being on the ground floor I managed to jemmy the window open but going in head first I pulled the curtains, the rail and the plaster out the wall.
This sounds like quintessential BigG behaviour, so TRUE4. The first racecourse I visited was Hamilton Park.
TRUE5. I have a black belt in Judo.
FALSE – You don’t need one. People would rip their own heads off rather than square up to you6. I told my now wife when I met her that I was 21 when I was only 18 (she was 20)
This is so cute I want it to be TRUE too!7. I bet Norton’s Coin at 200/1 on the day of his win in the Cheltenham Gold Cup.
Bollocks, did you – FALSE!8. I once tripped and fell through a co-0p plate glass window and was arrested by the the Old Bill in St Ives.
Sounds about right – TRUE!9. I had tea with Rod Stewart and Kelly Emberg after a Scotland Football match at Hampden.

February 22, 2024 at 11:36 #1682066Some interesting and good reasoning here (doesn’t mean right). I probably should
give this to Monday morning in case of weekend only TRFers. - AuthorPosts
