Default Just for a bit of fun

Think in terms of "degrees of seperation" - we're all linked somehow.

Here's my random fact: "Sailing" by Rod Stewart was No1 when I was born.

Now, the next person to post has to be able to link to this somehow with a fact about themselves that can be tenuously (or not) linked to the previous fact.

I was born on the last day of September when:

The big ship sails on the alley alley oh.
Sorry, a bit tentative but that's the best I could come up with

my dad loved Rod Stewart and one of the few memories of him from when I was little (he left when I was 4) is us singing Sailing together.

That record now makes me cry (doesnt everything!) as it was played at my Great Uncles funeral - the most cheerful, fun man I ever knew.

This isn't quite what I'd planned.

Supposed to go like this:

HW says: Sailing was No1 when I was born.
Grape1 says: I was born on a yacht
Grape2 says: My uncles' yacht is called The Grapevine
Grape3 says: Our first dance was to "Heard it Through the Grapevine" - Marvin Gaye
Grape4 says: I once met Graham Norton on holiday in Spain
Grape5 says: My brother had his first crash on a Norton Classic


and so on.

Not all replies have to link to Rod Stewart - Sailing, just the previous post.
