In the paper it's called:
Your Time Starts Now:
My earliest memory is...playing cowboys and indians with my 2 BROTHERS and 2 SISTERS who are all younger than me. My dad used to work as a presser in the rag trade and made my sisters' Indian dresses.They had leather fringes along the seams and around the hems. I had a cap gun and my brothers had cap rifles.
At school I...was always falling asleep during the Geography lesson. Mr van Vliet used to creep up on me and bang a one yard wooden ruler on my desk to wake me up!
My most treasured possession is... my collection of die cast model cars. All old Holdens!
My mother and father always told me...that I made their lives a misery.
I wish I had... completed High School.
I wish I hadnt... smoked my dad's pipes. I ruined two of his precious pipes and was belted to within an inch of my life
At home I cook...only when I have to and then it's mostly grilled or boiled.
My most humiliating moment was... when my bathers came off while swimming at a public swimming pool.
My last meal would be... roast lamb with all the trimmings. (Sorry Helen and Suzanne!)
My favourite gadget is...the one that I haven't got yet.
I'm very bad at... remembering people's names.
When I was a child I wanted to...be an architect.
It's not fashionable but I love...flannelette shirts.
Friends say I am... likeable but moody.
Cat or dog? Dog.
My greatest fear is...being unable to walk.
The hardest thing I've ever done...going for a job interview.
I often wonder...what would have happened in my life if I hadn't left my first job as a junior clerk stamping invoices all day.
Happy Birthday, Mark !!
