  1. Lmfaooooo!!! :lol:

     

    Through my life I've had 5 phobias/fears, but one of those is fire/fireworks, which I'd say was a pretty normal fear anyway!

     

    The other 4 don't really affect my life, as it's not often I come across swimming pools with no water in :lol: but I do have to turn away if there's one on TV, and have only ever come across one face to face while on holiday, I thought I was going to collapse :!:

     

    The high collar/anything round the neck thing doesn't affect me at all, as I just don't wear anything like that.

     

    The other is small people :|, I mean I'm not tall myself, I'm only 5ft, but I mean really small people - I'm not 100% certain where it came from, but I do think it came from a visit to a circus when I was about 3yrs old! That can be a difficult one, and I could slap myself round the face, as there is no way I could ever forgive myself if I were to offend anyone. One time I was in the supermarket, and there was a small lady, with her daughter who was also small - she asked my OH if he would reach something for her, I did my best to keep calm, and breathe slowly, but the shakes and sweating started pretty quick, I go pale as well, so my husband just told her I had a tummy virus. Thank God that's my only encounter up to now.

     

    But the last one I know for certain where it came from, and I have got much better - I have a fear of wings flapping round my head! When I was about 2yrs old (and I remember it like it was yesterday), I was in my pushchair, and a huge Rook swooped down and we think tried to grab the clips I had in my hair, it got it's talons caught up in my hair, and was flapping like a gooden - so my Mother and my Mothers Aunt decided to batter it with their handbags, but were also hitting me around the head :lol:

     

    Having all the birds come in our garden to be fed has helped a lot with that, although my skin does still prickle when a Crow or any Jackdaws swoop down!

  2. Anyone else think that £80 million (or whatever it is now) is way over the top for Bale? Not saying he's rubbish. But it's a ridiculous amount to pay for one player.

     

    Hoping to get to a few games this season. Something I really miss doing. When I lived in London, I'd go quite a lot; as there were a few teams on bus routes. Went to Hendon FC, Barnet and Charlton play.

     

    I couldn't agree with your more!!!
