My sister and her hubby have just gone to Turkey. I wonder if they'll all meet...

A body, mind and physiological one -

1. MENSA think I'm a "Genius."
2. After more than one medical examination I've been told that my size, weight, BMI etc., everything about me is spot on. I am the ideal human.
3. Physiological tests categorise me as "loving and caring, a people person and a humanitarian."

I really want to say number 1 is a lie but I think I'd be wrong there.
My IQ is around 140. Remember that big IQ thing the BBC did years ago?
Apparently 100 is the average score. A chap I know did it and got 92.
So you could easily be a genius.

I think all it proves is if you're good at doing IQ tests or not. No guess at what's my lie?

My guess is 2.

There is no such thing as an ideal human.

Ideal as in height, weight, fat etc being what they'd consider to be ideal, going on their charts and tables and things. Something like that anyway, and to the annoyance of my then gf who, they said, was obese.

It's number 3. On the psychological tests (if I'm being honest) I come out as an alpha one male type, assertive, etc., all that stuff. Surprising but true.

I would have said number 3 was incorrect because physiological tests could not identify your character. Psychological tests, possibly.

The perils of posting at work and not paying full attention to either, and the joys of pedantry, so common, and so welcome on the internet. It's what some live for

Hehe.

I guess I should go again.

1) I do not have to serve National Service.
2) I have five televisions in my house.
3) I sleep on a double bed.

One of the truths is a givaway, so this should be easy.

No.3.

Because you on't sleep on a double bed, you sleep on a king sized water bed.

Indeed it is. I only have three televisions.

1. I gained my pilot's licence on a flying scholarship as an air cadet.
2. I have flown on Concorde in the cockpit.
3. I am descended both from Welsh royalty and Oliver Cromwell's family.

I guess 2.

Dude is half correct. I don't have a pilot's licence but you could get a licence through a flying scholarship as an air cadet. You had to have 20/20 vision to be eligible, which unfortunately I didn't.

Li'ldude · Posted: Thu Jul 03, 2008 4:44 pm Post subject:

So I win?

Righty-who:

1) I am descended from Cornish people
2) The furthest west I have been is Ireland.
3) My dream was once to be a Pencil Maker.

You have travelled further West than that surely...

I mean, if you count Brunei from the other direction...

Blimey. Right on the first guess!

I've already been twice, so I suppose whoever wants to go next can do so.

Go on then:

1) I once fixed one of Hamiltons cars for him.
2) I have never broken a bone in my lifetime.
3) I once killed a dog with a biro.

Nope, never lifted a spanner to any of Hamilton's cars, although my mate Ed use to do some spannering for him, and I have milled a few bits for the team that found their way on there :)

What did the dog do to you??

And Rodge, what were you doing on a website called "Boners"??!!

My three:

1. I have owned six different VW Golfs;
2. I have got so drunk on a plane that I had to be carried off; and
3. I cannot get within a foot of touching my toes if I bend forwards.

Which one is nonsense?

It's 3, isn't it? Surely you have an operative to touch your toes for you?

I believe you have mentioned about the Golfs on this forum before.

In Italy as kids we used to get allowed one glass of red wine mixed with fizzy water as a treat from time to time. So I was used to the idea of drinking it.
