Autobiography - what title would you use
« on: Friday 07 August 09 01:53 UTC (UK) »
Just for fun, if you wrote a book about yourself, what title would you give it?

My daughter who has a disability and wears out shoes very quickly, and also loves food, is calling hers:
'Worn out shoes and Chocolate Bars"

For me, one option could be 'A Wild Storey' being a combo of maiden name and married name.

love to hear some funny ones.  Grin

"It's the Irish in Me" - my stock reply when people accuse me of being eccentric!  No-one has ever had a decent comeback to that!  Grin

By the way, I'm not having a go at the Irish.  I'm very proud of my Irish ancestors and treasure them!  But there's no doubt some of them were a tad eccentric, and others very impulsive and badly behaved.  (Gives me a lot of scope, really!  Cool  Roll Eyes )

Reminds me of the time I told my son I was planning to get eccentric as I got older - and he said I wouldn't have to try very hard!  I took it as a compliment  Cheesy
