IS THERE ANYTHING ABOUT YOU THAT WOULD SURPRISE PEOPLE?

It's all a load of Cannonballs in here! This is the virtual Arsenal pub where you can chat about anything except football. Be warned though, like any pub, the content may not always be suitable for everyone.

IS THERE ANYTHING ABOUT YOU THAT WOULD SURPRISE PEOPLE?

Post by goonersid »

I was just wondering what makes people tick on here apart from the Arsenal and what fills their lives and basically makes them what they are.
Maybe you are big into charity work and give up a lot of your time to that. Or maybe foster kids less fortunate than your own, or kids that nature deprived you of having.
I can't think of a anything that would make me stand out in any of those examples. I have one little boy and we would have loved more but it wasn't to be, so I would be willing to adopt or foster, but it didn't appeal to my wife and I respect that.
Or maybe there is something that you are passionate about.
For me it is cooking and spend most of my free time in the kitchen, and do all the cooking in our home. I've also just taken up growing my own veg etc and enjoying that. 8)

Most of you would already know i'm a Car trader but i also care full time for my disabled mum who recently had a stroke so she is none too good at the moment.

my grandma has alzheimer's and live nearby, so i spend a good time with her when i can. it's very disappointing though, specially when she doesn't recognize me :?

hope your mom gets better, mate! :barscarf:
