Okay, this is prompted by The GingerLord's topic about us not really knowing anyone else. You must tell us 5 things about yourself, little idiosyncracies, imperfections, weird stuff that we don't know. I'll go first:
1. I am unable to close Taxi doors properly. I have a thing where I always either slam it too hard and get a dodgy look from the driver, or waft it closed too softly, then I have to go back and close it properly. Taxi drivers don't like me.
2. I am also unable to put change back in my wallet properly. Whenever I finish a transaction with cash, I always stand at the front of the queue trying to put both the notes and the change in the right sections, and always hold up the next person. Either that, or I walk off holding my wallet, the notes, the change and the product I've just bought all in one hand. Mix this with a Taxi ride for optimum panic.
3. Sometimes I find smiling in a mirror for a few minutes actually does make you feel better. Even if you do look mental.
4. I eat approx. 1 bag of Prawn Cocktail crisps a day. In fact, I'm eating one now. Because I'm on my lunch, which is why I'm writing this.
5. I can't fall asleep without a cushion between my knees, or without rubbing my feet together like some insane giant grasshopper.
There you are, now you know a little more about me. Your turn.

Okay here goes:
1. I have double-jointed thumbs, I can put them in weird positions. Very freaky for everyone involved, especially when I play snooker, which, combined with my rather large hands overall has gained me the name Spiderhands. Yes, I am a poor mans Spiderman!
2. I'm not really ginger. Well, I am, sort of, more of a dark red colour actually, its been getting darker as I've got older, maybe I'll reach some sort of brown by the time I'm thirty.
3. I keep doing this clicky thing with my fingures at the moment. Its like Jake does at the end of Blues Brothers when they're outside the tax payment office. And its beginning to annoy me as well as everyone else now.
4. I don't really play computer games anymore. Haven't bought one in years. What I'm doing on a computer games site forum I don't know...
5. I come from Brighton and so must therefore be gay. At least that's what everyone up here in York seems to think! (I'm not by the way. Honest. Oh sod you then!)

Shoe tart. Fantastic.
1) I love to drive. Ever since I passed, I've been just getting in me car, going any direction at all, and following country lanes all over the places, going where I've never been before. Just came back from driving now, and when I drove yesterday, ended up at a beach, so I got out and had a walk, even though it was pouring with rain.
2) I'm an uncle. My nephew is called William, and he's fantastic. He steals things from me and runs off. Like my keys. He can't talk much yet, but he babbles constantly. I'm also his Godfather.
3) I can vibrate my eyes like some sort of shake hands man, but with shake eyes, obviously. I can just move them side to side really quickly... I like my eyes a lot. They're green and blue striped, and have this yellow star that surrounds my black bit, whatever it's called again. Pupil I think. And as you may or may not know, I'm crap-scared of eyes and eye-contact, so mine are the only real ones I get to see.
4) I used to ride horses a lot. Well, ponies. Was actually pretty good at it at one point, but in the end, I just got far too sh*t-scared to go on. Cross-country jumping: Getting on a insane pony/horse/rabid animal thing, letting it go, and hoping you don't actually hit any of the very huge and solid things you're jumping over. Like trees and rock.
5) I can put one leg behind my head. Don't need to stretch or anything to allow me to keep doing it, I just can.

It's a pleasure to meet you, you cash-incompetant giant grasshopper impersonator.
Here's mine:
1: If my body hair continues to advance at it's current rates, I'll be Jonman the Human Gorilla by the time I'm thirty.
2: In the last year, I've started getting dizzy spells when I'm really hung over.
3: The only way to p*ss me off is to not be able to accept when you're wrong.
4: I'm a shoe tart. I love buying trainers.
5: I can play complicated drum patterns by cracking my toes.
