Embarrassing Confessions

[Kingsmills]

What is your most embarrassing confession ? Mine is that I enjoy watching ballet even more than football.

As a Highlander from a distinctly working class background I would have no more wanted to go to the ballet than see Elgin City win the league ! To me it was a poncey effite activity involving men in tights being being viewed, probably through pince nez, by elderly upper class women in twin set set and pearls.

That remained the case until, long before I met Mrs Kingsmills I might add !, I became besotted by a stunningly beautiful girl whom I soon discovered was equally besotted by the ballet. Tickets to the ballet and three hours of being bored out of my skull would be a suitable price to pay to try to worm my way into her affections and hopefuly her bed.

So I paid what, at the time, seemed like a kings ransom for two of the best seats in the house and sat back prepared to pay the price of my desires. To my amazement within minutes of the curtain going up I was utterly entranced by skill, grace and athletisism the like of which you would never witness in any sporting arena.

For what it's worth my ulterior ends were achieved but that was relatively short lived but my love of ballet has peristed ever since and I have now indoctrinated my wife and at least my oldest son.

If you haven't been and are open minded enough you should give it a try. You never know you might surprise yourself !

Now, what's your guilty secret ?

Aye.. true canna follow that.

[Charles Bannerman]

Mmmm.... intimate interest in ballet, eh? No other embarrassing confessions to make then?

Men in tight trousers showing off all their bits and pieces?

FFS... Is that not enough?

Apart from not always agreeing with him, I always thought there was something odd about Kingsmills.

It's no secret that the best thing about a secret is secretly telling someone your secret, thus adding another secret to their secret collection of secrets. Secretly.

I cry when soppy/sad things happen on the TV...programmes such as Extreme Makeover Home Edition seem to set me off the most!!!

[PullMyFinger]

I want County to win the Cup

[The Mantis]

Given the thread title I was expecting to read 'I used to support the jags' .........

I've got loads, don't know where to start.

[Oz647]

I secretly wish I was Scottish!!!!!!! I know it's shameful. I'm trying to get help but everyone says I'm beyond help and don't want to be associated with me. :(

[SMEE]

I want County to win the Cup :(

Thats even more embarrasing than Kingsmills ballet fetish!

[Kingsmills]

I enjoy ballet and I'll be at Hampden on Saturday supporting our Highland neighbours !

[+CaleyD]

I'd quit while people are still willing to acknowledge your very existence if I were you!!! :(

[Kingsmills]

:( :015:

[CaleyJulz]

I dont have any ...... I just say really stupid things !!!

I shed a tear at Gordon Brown's resignation speech yesterday

Embarrassing Confession...?

There's no need for SatNav around here as there are so few roads and so little traffic to get lost in, but............I'd love to have a SatNav that used Darth Vader's voice for the instructions

'you need to use the take the second left and come over to the dark side' and

'The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the force, take the 3rd exit on the Longman roundabout' and

'Obi-Wan has taught you well. You have controlled your fear. Now join the A96 near Tescos'

would be great......for about a week.

Thankfully the missus won't let me get one

Youve obviously never been a parcel delivery driver, given a parcel with a KW15 postcode then

I work around the Black Isle a lot.....does SatNAv include Gallic house names?

[Kingsmills]

Oh heck, I might as well go for broke !

I have a further confession to make of a theartrical nature; I really enjoy traditional British panto' and will be sad, as will all too soon be the case, when my children grow too old to provide an excuse for my annual yuletide indulgence.

To further add to the embarrassing nature of this particular confession, I strongly suspect that it derives from the impression made on my eight year old self by flickering black and white image of a very leggy Anita Harris playing the lead role in a BBC production of Dick Whittington !

[Kingsmills]

Sorry,

Should have added that site users under the age of 40 might like to Google Anita Harris !

Those under 30 might also wish to Google " black and white television"

Fab! Hope you can source some kids in the future, to act as cover for your annual jaunt to the panto

dead_ball_specialist, your confession isn't embarrassing, it's cool!

[BA]

I've watched resevoir dogs so many times that I know every line off by heart.

There's nothing wrong with that. I reckon I know every line from The Shawshank Redemption.

There's no need to cheat Kingsmills, there's no prize money involved just a large dose of humiliation when you return to TCS next year.

Oh no there isn't!

Oh yes there is!
