Just for a bit of fun

[HeyWayne]

Think in terms of "degrees of seperation" - we're all linked somehow.

Here's my random fact: "Sailing" by Rod Stewart was No1 when I was born.

Now, the next person to post has to be able to link to this somehow with a fact about themselves that can be tenuously (or not) linked to the previous fact.

I'm going sailing on the Thames in September with six pals, Rod Stewart isn't one of them

[mandyballantyne]

I have also been born, does that count

[Headfry]

I love sailing boats....but Rod Stewart, yuck!
Mr HF name is Stewart!

[scarey55]

I was born on the last day of September when:

The big ship sails on the alley alley oh.
Sorry, a bit tentative but that's the best I could come up with

[piskieinboots]

30 days hath September, April, June and November - I was born in April

[Beki]

It was November 4th 2005 when my 2nd baby was born

[willowstar]

my dad loved Rod Stewart and one of the few memories of him from when I was little (he left when I was 4) is us singing Sailing together.

That sailing record drives me nut's!!! Years ago my next door neighbour played it at high volume over and over i Lived in a terraced house with thin walls and neighbour's on the other side of me came and complained to me to turn it down and They came in and realised it wasnt me but next door !!!! Oh how I hate it now.

That record now makes me cry (doesnt everything!) as it was played at my Great Uncles funeral - the most cheerful, fun man I ever knew.

[HeyWayne]

This isn't quite what I'd planned.

Supposed to go like this:

HW says: Sailing was No1 when I was born.
Grape1 says: I was born on a yacht
Grape2 says: My uncles' yacht is called The Grapevine
Grape3 says: Our first dance was to "Heard it Through the Grapevine" - Marvin Gaye
Grape4 says: I once met Graham Norton on holiday in Spain
Grape5 says: My brother had his first crash on a Norton Classic


and so on.

Not all replies have to link to Rod Stewart - Sailing, just the previous post.

[kernowyon]

so where are we now in this tenuous link? I like most seem to have lost the plot?

[Flummery]

Things are never what I planned either, Wayne. (does this count?)

Grape3 says: Our first dance was to "Heard it Through the Grapevine" - Marvin Gaye
Grape4 says: I once met Graham Norton on holiday in Spain

Oh, Graham Norton is Gay - I get it now!!!

Grape3 says: Our first dance was to "Heard it Through the Grapevine" - Marvin Gaye
Grape4 says: I once met Graham Norton on holiday in Spain

Oh, Graham Norton is Gay - I get it now!!!

He is awfully happy.
