An interesting fact about yourself

[Capt Bravz]

I've also done a 10 mile charity walk (yes, in the armour) for Tickled Pink.

As were on a Star Wars theme, about 3.5 years ago i drove David Prowes AKA Darth Vader,around on his book signing tour. A little known fact is in his house all he has is a small but incredibly heavy bronze Darth Vader model and some old sw tat in his shed. His wife made him shift on all his stuff that he had as she didn't like Star Wars.

I read an interview with him & apparently he got paid pretty much bugger all for the Star Wars movies he did.

Not sure about his wages, but he never left the uk for filming,he told me that he only found out he had been dubbed was when the first screenings where shown.

I can always guess how many jelly beans are in a jelly bean jar, even if I'm wrong.

I can shoot a 10 round group the size of a hamster at 400m with a L98 cadet GP rifle using iron sights. I've got the badge for it and everything.

I have never measured a hamster.

I'm currently renovating this 1970 Fiat 500 for Mrs Blib's mumble-mumble birthday present this coming May. I bought the car last January and some friends and I have been working on it in total secrecy. Mrs B. has no idea whatsoever that the car exists. The car's been stripped down to a bare shell and rebuilt and painted in her favourite colour. Every part of the car has been either replaced or completely refurbished.



From this.....



To this............



Three more weeks and it will be finished.

Awww Blib

You have to do a thread on this when you've given it to her, please?

Darth wouldn't have had the same impact with a west country accent.
