I’m in the movie The Game of Their Lives. From that experience, Gavin Rossdale owes me money from a bet, and Gerard Butler bragged to me about the details of how he hooked up with an extra the night before.

Was in a formal debate vs. professors located 50ft from Stephen Hawking’s office.

Middle name is from a foreign language.

Caused Jim James to hang up on his girlfriend because he wanted to answer my question.

Current Archbishop of Canterbury came up to me to introduce himself, but his assistant held out her hand first by a split second, so I was shaking hers and awkwardly left him hanging.

Finished the complete works of Fyodor Dostoyevsky after two years, and now currently reading a 5 biographical volume set about him.

How did you end up as a regular in the chaplain’s office?

Is it weird that I want to know more about these two stories, both with equal enthusiasm?
