Ten truths and one lie – the big reveal

This was really interesting, and more than a little bit disconcerting. The things you people think I’ve done is just is just amazing!

So let’s look at the first list:

• I am shorter than I was last year - TRUE
• I lie about my height - TRUE
• I’m an award winning writer of fiction - TRUE
• I have been grizzly bear hunting armed only with an old Russian camera - TRUE
• I have climbed up the outside of a three storey building to steal a TV aerial - TRUE
• I’ve had a motorcycle licence since I was fifteen years old - FALSE
• I have rafted the Zambezi river just below Victoria Falls - TRUE
• In my first ultra marathon I set a new course record - TRUE
• I have spent time in prison, on death row - TRUE
• I have abducted people - TRUE
• I once had a dog that weighed more than I did – TRUE

@crispier-bacon – was the first to guess correctly. I’ve actually never had a motor cycle licence

On to the second list

• I was once hunted by the police with my arrest mandated at the highest level – at that time NZ’s most wanted man – TRUE
• I was captured by the S.A.S – TRUE
• On my first day at work I deleted a client’s entire website and had no idea how to get it back – TRUE
• I can tic-tack on a skateboard, doing a handstand – TRUE
• My record for doing press-ups is 72 press-ups in 48 seconds, on my knuckles – TRUE
• I have spent time on the run from British Immigration – TRUE
• I have a third nipple, just under my left armpit – FALSE
• I have stayed in a lighthouse – TRUE
• I have been bitten by a snake – TRUE
• I have ridden a wild elephant – TRUE
• I have swum with a crocodile – TRUE

No-one got the lie I this list.

I only have the standard issue two nipple set.

And then there was list three

• I have been shot at, by people using my own rifle – TRUE
• I have had seven people in a two sealer sports car – TRUE
• When I was born my no-one knew where my father was – TRUE
• I have penetrated security at a military installation during a state visit
• I have fought a gypsy knife fight against a woman disguised as a man, and lost – TRUE
• I have had a hangman’s noose placed around my neck and been hoisted into the trees by some drunk men, to the applause of their equally drunk friends – TRUE
• I am left handed – TRUE
• I ate snails in Crete on my honeymoon (and yes, there were disgusting) – FALSE
• I once ran over my own arm while driving a go-cart – TRUE
• I have been shot in the head, in the same spot, three times – TRUE
• I have walked on a glacier – TRUE

No-one got it right in this list either.

I haven’t been to Crete, or as my wife often reminds me, on honeymoon. But you can be sure when I do, I won’t be eating snails!

So @crispier-bacon is the only one to get the 5SBD for guessing correctly.

When you look at the lists like that, it’s been an interesting life so far, huh? And there is so much more I haven’t told you about. And still more I CAN’T tell you about. Hehe.

Thanks for playing the game. I might do another list in the future. But I think I’ll have to get up so some more hijinks first.
