Ask me anything

Have you seen the Ask me anything threads on Mumsnet? Users have been posting about their unusual jobs/experiences and opening up the floor for others to ask them anything at all about them.
Obviously gransnetters have equally fascinating things to share so we thought it might be an idea to do our own version. Would you be interested in doing something similar on here too? If you're worried about anonymity you could always use the 'second username' reserved for more sensitive posts.

Here are some examples of our favourites so far:
I'm a footballer's wife.. ask me anything???'
I'm a retired lap dancer
I'm a priest
I'm an ex-ambulance 999 handler

Even superheroes have taken part... grin
I AM HULK

If anyone wants to kick it off, feel free to. Perhaps in Chat?

I'm a professional gran - don't ask me anything, I'm either too tired or I've forgotten.

Do you have any tips for aspiring liars, Jane?

Do you lie for a specific reason, e.g. to avoid trouble, or are you just a compulsive liar, i.e. your whole life is one big fantasy?

I'm not a gran but wanted advice on any youngish denture wearers out there. I'm so devastated to be losing 4 teeth in 3 weeks. I'm 57 and a voice coach,drama teacher. I'm terrified that I'm going to lisp and that my teeth will fly out when I'm teaching students tongue twisters. I'm worried about how long it will take to feel like I don't have a bus in my mouth. I know there's much worse could happen but I'm miserable. Help and and advice please
