3 facts about me!

Here goes

[1] I danced the can can as part of the cabaret at a French Ball in East Africa!

[2] I kept a watch back aft in a submerged nuclear submarine!

[3] I was once introduced Queen ElizabethThe Queen Mother!

Now this is a tough one Sue. I have a hunch you we're introduced to the Queen Mother and would love to know why.

The can-can in East Africa? Well that sounds reasonable for Madagascar or Djibouti. It sounds rather exciting being a cabaret girl but I'll take your word for that's true too.

Now, watch back aft on a sub, I'm not so sure about because that's where the Donkhouse is and I'm not sure you'd have a lookout there - though I could ask SuzieLaughalot as she knows all about submarines. I'm going to guess that if you were in a nuclear submarine back-aft you were sleeping or playing cribbage so I'm going to guess this is false.

Anywhere near the right answer? Xxx love and lots of laughs. Xxx Annie

Hi Sue,

False :- kept a watch back aft in a submerged submarine (this is my final answer) haha

[Hidden]

What with can-cans and conjurors and trapeze artists I should think we could put on quite a show at the Members Day.

You learn something new every day and thanks to Annie I now know where the Donkhouse is on a submarine. I have to agree with her and Gwyn that the untrue statement is that you kept watch on one.

What a good idea! When and where is Members' day? I cannot find any reference on the website!

Yes this thread is fascinating. We could indeed put on quite a show on Members Day and we now have the enigmatic Beau who might have starred in a Beatles film. I danced the Can-Can regularly but hung up my costume in 1991 when I left mid-Wales for Cardiff.

I'm by no means an expert on submarines. I've only ever seen a nuclear one once. There's meant to be a 30m exclusion zone round them but one popped out of the Sound in Plymouth within about 10 m of our boat. The water police were frantically trying to ward off all leisure sailors nearby. We we were under sail so we had every excuse to be a bit closer than would normally have been permitted. I was disappointed. It was an ugly old thing - looked like an old garden shed covered in tiny black slates which Martin said is what deflects radio waves and enable it to travel under the water undetected.

I hope Suzie and Sue can tell us more about Donkhouses and watches on subs.

I think this game is going to drive me mad and its all my own fault! Three more very seductive statements, Susie, but like the others, I think it's the submarine story that lacks the ring,of truth. So prove me wrong.

I am with Annie on this! Women have only been allowed on submarines fairly recently!

I presume you have a naval background though as that would explain the other exotics! My dad was presented to King George vith, The Shah of Iran, several Sheikhs of varying seniority in the Gulf States and President Salazar in Portugal. He was refused a place in the Merchant Navy care home (he did 3 years as a seagoing engineerin the 30's to get his steam ticket) because they said he told lies! we had to produce the photos to prove it! Dad was a shipwright, then qualified as a naval architect and finally upgraded to chartered engineer and designed and built oil refineries and chemical plant. Hence the travel!

[Beaufilly]

ummmm, something fishy about the Submarine so I suspect it could be right, I think your falsehood is the East African Can-can, confess, it was really a Rumba!
