      That is a really good question… do you mean the funnest thing in science or generally?

      Too many to name – the middle of these three gigs was certainly fun.

      I am really accident prone and one of those people who tend not to think before they speak so I think the funniest thing I’ve ever done is funnier for other people rather than for me. I just end up quite embarrassed.

      I was amazed to see Cliff Richard near a museum in Paris. Something inside me made me shout his name as loud as possible and run up to him. He had 2 massive bodyguards with him and I ended up looking at him and realised I had nothing to say. I said something like ‘oooh, it IS really you!’ before wanting the earth to swallow me up.

      I’ve fallen down the escallator at a big department store in York. I somehow managed to misjudge the step and fell over. Hilarious but painful. Have you checked out my huge bruise on my profile page?

      I’ve also managed to get my high heel caught in a bridge but this wasn’t just any bridge. It was at graduation and hundreds of people were using the same bridge. It was hilarious… I couldn’t move.

      hmmmm.

      I am going white water rafting on Saturday, which should be pretty fun. I hope I make it back though, if I am not here on Monday, you will know why!

      The most fun thing I have ever done so far though is probably get married. It was such a great day, all our friends and family and a HUGE party. That was fun.

    Oh, I misread this as funniest. Anyway, you now know I’m an accident-prone fool!

    The funnest thing I’ve done is drive very fast in a TVR sports car. I’ve mentioned this on my profile page and there’s a photo of me looking quite scared doing about 160 mph. 160 mph seems very VERY fast when you’re doing it and it was great to learn to be a racing driver for the day 🙂

    Yeah, my calamities would get a starring role. It’s a running joke now that I’m a real bozo.
