Dan Hull has tagged Geeklawyer. This is where someone receives a meme from another, then executes it, provides a link back to the sender and finally propagates it to people he knows. Dan Hull’s meme was “5 things that you didn’t know about me”, at least it should have been; he has turned it into the more amusing “six things about me of which five are true and one isn’t”. Geeklawyer likes this one better and will use it. Five of these statements are true and one isn’t;
- Geeklawyer was (about) 300th in line to the Burmese throne when born.
- Geeklawyer owns an astonishingly beaten up ex-Royal Mail LDV Convoy van which he is very slowly failing to convert into a self-build motorcaravan.
- As a student Geeklawyer worked as a mental subnormality nursing assistant who dealt with secret members of the Royal family. He leaked a photo, hugely profitably, to the Fleet Street tabloids, to huge controversy.
- Geeklawyer was once nearly killed when skydiving with an SAS friend at Thruxton Airfield after following his suggestion to ‘pull low’ (500 feet): Geeklawyer’s parachute wrapped itself around him and was freed only 200 feet from the ground. Geeklawyer nearly made a big impact in the UK earlier in life than he’d intended.
- For a dare, after watching the Rocky Horror Picture Show, Geeklawyer once represented a client in a trial while wearing stockings and a suspender belt under his suit.
- Geeklawyer’s ex-girlfriend’s father had his hands on the Queen’s vagina on several occasions.
Please do guess which is the lie.
I tag: Ruthie, CharonQC, Becky Hogge, Harry Metcalfe and Professor Jeremy Phillips.
I would so love to do something similar, but to be interesting I fear my 6 things would be way too controversial…
Don’t worry, we don’t expect you to be interesting or capable of controversy.
Well done, GL. Your responses are more interesting than some in the US, where we are more afraid of authenticity, truth, etc… Next time I will tag Ruthie. And I will want to know if she’s ever done the “Antler Dance”–she sure seems like the type to me…
Uh… whats the Antler Dance? Clearly some quaint American custom, probably involving the donning of Amish style clothing and shouting Yee Hah!
Maybe you should consider whether I will be pleased with the answer before you give it…
Truth. Truth? Ah yes, truth. Well, it’s useful and all, but let’s not be slavish.
I don’t know what the ‘Antler Dance’ is but if it is lewd and indecent I imagine she has. She is out of control.
“… Antler Dance: the one where you put you thumbs in your ears and wag your head at your rival … ”
mmm. yeah. sounds like the sort of thing I would do…
Geeklawyer.. be afraid, be very afraid — for tagging me again!
I have just revealed that i was a grave digger — and… it is all your fault!

I will be back… be absolutely sure… with a scythe and lay waste your posts…
I don’t know why you should consider wearing suspenders and stockings under your suit, while appearing in court, as anything particularly unusual.
I think that you would be unlikely to own a van. the rest of your entries — I feel sure — are true!
Wearing stockings and suspenders is not my thing — but in these politically correct days, I would not wish to be at the forefront of intolerance and, if you decide to do this on a regular basis — may I suggest, Rigby & Peller in Knightsbridge or, if you are feeling particularly racy — you could try ‘Agent Provocateur’.
I had a Russian lover who did a lot of lingerie advert work. She had two degrees — a degree from St Petersburg in Geophysics and a degree in Economics from Moscow. She made the telling point — it was in the late nineties) — when I asked why she did not get a job in The City. She smiled — stroking her silk clad legs seductively, dangling a shiny black high heeled shoe off her right foot, as she sat on a bar stool, her black basque tight around her perfect waist — looked me straight in the eye and replied “Would you employ an economost from Russia?”
Fair point. Will you be deleting this?
GL has Antler Dance down right–except it doesn’t have to be thumbs. Ruthie must know this one; you do get extra points with Amish women, even with thumbs method.
Delete a CharonQC post?! Good lord no.
No.2 is correct, as I have ridden in that behemouth with Geeklawyer while in the Netherlands.
