1. My best bowling figures are 3 for 8.

2. I took Tripos papers in three different languages - two modern and one mediaeval.

EDIT: Okay, hands up if you spotted the deliberate error? Who invented copy-and-paste, that's what I want to know. So ...

2a. I got Johnny Ball's autograph.

3. Until 21, I (and my parents) were pretty hard up. Then I went into what (by my standards) was a well-paying job.

4. I'd like to learn Old English.

5. At the age of 36, I grew an inch in six months.

6. I was the only one in my O level class to pass French.

7. We've got eight different English-language first edition Silmarillions.

8. At school, I played cricket with someone who later became an international fast bowler.

9. I have been a passenger on the world's shortest scheduled flight.

10. I've just come off a 40-minute phone call with head office and the auditors. (Can you tell I was having difficulty thinking of a decent no 10?)

I'm curious to know who the fast bowler was, but feel free not to answer if you think this would invade/ compromise your privacy.

I don't mind at all, and I don't think he would. Tim Munton. (Also Andrew Massey, who played a couple of games for Leicetershire Second XI).
