mine has to be lifts......

got stuck in one and it took 5hrs to get me out. so needless to say i know use the stairs have apart from after having my son and i had no choice but to use the lift as i was bed ridden. i cried like a baby when they put me in it begged them to let me use the stairs but they wernt going to budge.

And as for hights dont bother me at all i have jumpped out a helio at 250ft before what a rush. it was great would do it again.

Again, needles. Can't even watch someone having a jab on telly. Dentists as well but can't register with one anyway. A mate of mine down south who thinks a scrap is boring if he's only got two to play with (yes i have seen it) absolutely bricks it if he sees ants, trouble is he's a builder, so has to dig out footings etc.
    On the other side of things an ex who was a well educated horsey girl got turned on peeling mushrooms. Had'nt been with her long & was making bolognase. I just chop the mushies up & luzz 'em in towards the end but she asked if she could peel 'em she got off on it!! Really! I bought alot of m'rooms for a while!!! :P :P

Fortunately, nobody here knows my phobia (except perhaps Marks_DTM if Mrs DTM told him).  Its irrational (ish, started with an 'incident', but still irrational).  So I'll keep it to myself.


I am also a bit scared of heights - I can deal with it, but am very uncomfortable.  Its sort of strange, but when I get too high (and can see the ground), I get a strange tingle in me gonads :o - which is why you may have heard me say things are 'bollock-tinglingly high'


Which brings me on to another point.  In my younger days, I used to take jobs purely to learn/overcome things (for example, job in data entry to lear to touchtype).  I became a telephone 'engineer' for a large Telco to overcome my fear of heights - going up poles etc.  Wasn't long before I was strapping 5 sections (about the max before flex became too much) of 2 3 section ladders together to reach tops of high buildings.  If we'd have been caught playing such stunts.....

One of the lazy idiots I used to work with started going from a medical encylopedia, starting at A.  So obvious, we were having bets on what his next ailment would be. Lazy tosser.
