Random Things

Have been thinking on and off what random things people won't know, and may be interested in. Still haven't reached a conclusion, so just going to type a few.
Here goes:
1) I used to be a blue belt in Judo. Something I really enjoyed and was quite good at from the age of 10 to the age of 15. I tried to start it up again when I went to university, lasted a few weeks before falling wierdly on my left shoulder. After that, I kept having problems with it so gave up for good after a few months.
2) Own two expired 'Pool Lifeguard' licences. I did all the swimming and lifesaving awards I could from the age of 5 to the age of 15, and as soon as I was allowed at the age of 16 took the Pool Lifeguard course and exam. It was quite a good moneyspinner for me when I was doing my A-levels... Might explain why I didn't do so well in the actual A-level exams (D'oh!).
3) I own a signed postcard of Rolf Harris having been to see him live twice at Rock City in Nottingham.
4) I have a thing about cheese - give me cheese above chocolate any day. I like it mature and/or smelly, soft and runny, most kinds really. I can eat it by itself, on biscuits, bread, lasagne, pretty much any way really. yum!
5) When I was 7 I broke my arm at the elbow when I fell out of a toy wheelbarrow (Don't ask!!)
