So good folk of fab, if you feel the need or just want to show off share away.

I'll start.

My Dad's cousin played a named character role in both Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back.

1. A character in a television drama based on my workplace which ran for 3 series in the 1990's was completely based on me (and Anita, the series creator spent a summer working with my team to understand our work).

2. I have walked in the Arctic and Antarctic circles.

3. My great great uncle was one of many named suspects in the Jack the Ripper murders.

I was in a small aircraft mid air doing a tandem sky dive.

One of the instructors had a meltdown and didn't want to jump out of the plane she said it was too cloudy.

Everyone was screaming at her "jump out the fucking plane"

I was next and had to go without a say in the matter.

And I had a hangover

The best bit of the story is on the way back we were all in a mini bus taxi and there was a random man we didn't recognise - it was the pilot hitching a lift back to town as he's lost his drivers license

20 years ago now - but every word is true
