1. I can move my eyebrows really really unbelievably fast.
2. I have a certificate in gymnastics.
3. I once caused the evacuation of a major defence establishment.

It has to be the eyebrow one. From pictures you've posted, I could imagine you in a leotard, not that I'd want to see that sight. Dammit, now I can't think of anything else.....get out of my head!

I reckon you caused the evacuation of one of 'G's former bases. You stole the Hendricks supply truck and everyone chased you.

I reckon Alan's lie is the eyebrow one.

No, the eyebrow thing is true. Surprisingly I've never caused the evacuation of an MOD base.

I think you'd have mentioned number 3 before and I don't remember you mentioning it but it's believable...and I just can't see you as a twocer...

I was going to say that I too have never broken any bones but back in the days when I used to punch people for fun my hand hurt for weeks more than once, so, I'll go for number 2, because you must have broken something?

I know I should have gone for 3, or 1, but I'll go for 2.

1. In 2000, during a kart race at Milton Keynes, I encountered a kart driven by a young lady meandering onto the racing line at 5mph - at the unsighted exit of a flat-out corner. At a closing speed of over 50mph, I took to the grass and just grazed her bumper, narrowly avoiding an accident that would have injured both of us. The young lady turned out to be then-S Club 7 member Hannah Spearritt.

2. I was never a passenger in my GTA.

3. I don't have a degree yet work as an editor for a university.

Number 2. I can imagine you not letting anyone else drive it.

But...I was never a passenger in most of my cars....I'll stick to number 3.

I'll go for number one. Its all true other than the member of S-Club. It was Tina.

No, number 3's definately the lie....

I guess it's my turn now.

(I'm actually more adept at lying than telling the truth...

)

1) I stay within spitting distance of a football club.
2) I've set off the fire alarm in school once.
3) I can play the piano.

Number 3.

Everyone knows that apartments where you live are too compact for any musical instrument bigger than a Stylophone.

Any more guesses?

But for the record, we once had an organ (as in, those church ones) in the house before, so our apartment isn't that small...

I guess I should reveal the answer before I go...

Alan is indeed correct, despite my attempts to throw him off.

I have no idea how to play any musical instrument whatsoever. Though the one about an organ in my house is indeed true.

I have only set off the fire alarm once, mainly because the other students were taking their turns and it never got round to me again.

And I do indeed live within spitting distance of a football club. Search for Woodlands Wellington on Wikipedia. Their stadium is barely steps from my place and they sometimes train on the field directly outside my house.

Ok, I'll take a turn...

1) I used to be a drum roadie for a rock band
2) My birthdate is the same as Tim Henman's
3) I have broken my left leg twice

Looking at your photo, I can see you as a roadie, and everyone has a birthday so -

It's gotta be number 3. I mean, why would you want to break your own leg once? never mind twice?

A fine deduction, alan, you're right - I have not broken my left leg twice. In fact, I've never broken a single bone in my body........

1: I can't operate 4 toes on my right foot.
2: I have a Prince Albert piercing.
3: One of my tattoos is drawn incorrectly.

I reckon it's number 2 too - I know you've got loads of piercings, but anyone with a
Prince Albert has got to be totally mad - and you're not. Well, not totally, anyway.

Correct. I did consider a Prince Albert about 6 years ago, but I saw sense and spent the money on beer instead.

At least you'll be able to pee the beer without looking like you've a sprinkler attached ;-)

1. I've had in the past my nipple, nose and ear pierced.
2. I was an inter school olympics spacehopper champion.
3. I ran the Newstead Abbey 3 mile dash carrying an ashtray, cigarette and lighter so I could smoke as soon as I finished for a joke.

Edit: sorry lept in before Big TC

You've got it Matt! The spacehopper race put me in good stead for Sportka ownership

A marathon runner mate did actually see a bloke run with an ashtray etc, but it wasn't me at the Newstead race - I just wanted to finish...

Your go...

I've been arrested for breaking a window in student accommodation
I once failed to give way on a mini roundabout, right in front of a Police Mondeo
I once did a wanker sign behind the head of a local BBC presenter on Children in Need night.

Anyway Matt, I'd go for 3. All are believable, but I think you are least likely to make a fool of yourself on television...

Right, another one from me. You've got 2 hours to get it right, as I'm off on hols.

1. The first car I drove on the road was a Saab 99, when I was 16
2. The first car I drove on the road belonged to my girlfriend's father
3. My girlfriend's father didn't know I was driving the car at the time
