1. Starting it off with a classic just to get the ball rolling but yes, I do genuinely have a fear of washing machines.
I also have a fear of firearms that I discovered whilst in America. Fun times.

2. Me and my dad used to have a tradition of climbing mountains for every royal occasion. We climbed Ben Nevis for William & Kate& #39;s wedding, and we climbed Snowdon for the Royal Baby.
We were due to climb Scafell for Phillip& #39;s funeral, but scheduling issues prevented it.

3. I was *likely* one of the first people to catch COVID. Never tested BUT
I was in Hong Kong whilst they were investigating a "SARS-like virus" in Dec. 2019, and infected all my Brisbane friends with the illness I caught. I lost my taste on a flight back from Brisbane to Perth.

4. At school, I was the only kid to my knowledge to get a detention for "blasphemy" from my English teacher.
I later also got a detention from her for writing an assignment with each sentence starting with the letters "FUCK YOU MRS. KING".
Her son was in my college law class.

5. Sticking with school, I was due to be in my school& #39;s talent show in 2009 performing "impressions" but had to miss it.
Why?
Because I& #39;d been hit by a car on the road outside an hour before it was meant to start.
They surprisingly didn& #39;t let me go to the show.

6. I used to attend a judo club as a kid and I stopped attending it after a girl spat in my mouth whilst we were sparring on the mat.
A decade later, me and her would end up going to prom together where I& #39;d end up winning prom queen.

7. Speaking of prom, I got my prom dress delivered to a friend& #39;s house and they brought it to me to show me as soon as it arrived.
Meanwhile, I was bleeding out from a 3-4 inch wound in my arm whilst a retired firefighter helped me after a bike crash.
I had 10 stitches at prom.

8. That& #39;s enough school memories. Here& #39;s a simple one.
I chipped my front tooth on the kitchen floor at age 11 whilst pretending to be a caterpillar.
I didn& #39;t tell my mum until I turned 18 and moved out.

9. I can eat a whole lemon without reacting. I used to steal them from people& #39;s drinks at restaurants just to eat them.
10. At one point, I held the record for British Airways in-flight Tetris. I wish I remembered my score but it was in the multiple millions.
11. I continued a rumour for a whole year at school that I was actually part German (my dead name is Konrad) and that I could speak fluent German.
This continued until the girl in my class who& #39;d actually lived in Germany tested me on my German and I made up an excuse.

12. I& #39;ve been to thirty countries. I am currently not legally allowed back in one of them.
(Spoilers: it& #39;s The UAE)

13. Here& #39;s a few fun international travel facts.
Of the 30 countries I& #39;ve been to, I was held back for "extra security" in 10% of them: Poland, the UAE and the USA.
I was held back in Atlanta for three "anomalies" - my tits and my dick. The TSA lady was very lovely though.

14. I& #39;m going to collect all my other USA facts into one neat package.
I got sunstroke at Dollywood.
I saw the 2016 eclipse in the car park of a random winery in the middle of Tennessee.
I saw a live performance of The Devil Went Down To Georgia without knowing what it was.

15. For about a decade, I deliberately made it a mission to eat as many "weird" meats as possible whenever I travelled.
This list now includes alligator, manta ray, buffalo, ostrich, a whole rabbit, swordfish, wild boar and a species of shark I later learned was endangered.

16. On my previous Twitter account, I was blocked by my then-local Member of Parliament, Maria Miller, for calling her a cunt for her expenses scandal.
Two years later, whilst still blocked by her, we had a meeting at college about trans rights in Basingstoke.

17. I nearly had Dan "Wardog" DaSilva, a contestant from Survivor S38, join my Discord wrestling server. It didn& #39;t happen after he didn& #39;t know how Discord worked.
18. My entire body is lopsided.
My eyes, ears, mouth and oddest of all, nipples, are slanted to one side.
I have no idea why.

19. I have an incredibly good memory to the point that I used to do exams at school by memorising an entire page of A4 before the exam and just remembering everything on the page in my head. I passed every exam this way.
I learned my entire biology syllabus in 30 minutes.

20. Another fairly well-known fact about me, but a favourite one I love anyway.
I own the front bumper from a crashed 2020 British Touring Car driven by Bobby Thompson and it currently sits in my cupboard. https://twitter.com/KTCCLawson/status/1334799319623405569?s=20">https://twitter.com/KTCCLawso...

21. I once slept for 26 hours straight without waking up after staying awake for 46 hours to complete a @FairySurvivor challenge.
I have also slept for 24 hours straight on two separate occasions.

22. Speaking of sleep, I have also slept in some very weird locations including:
- standing up on a bus
- next to a jet engine
- in a car& #39;s passenger footwell
- at a wedding reception
- in the bath
- on a desk at school
I can, and will, sleep literally anywhere.

23. Once, whilst completely drunk in Switzerland on New Year& #39;s Eve, and for no reason whatsoever, I licked a girl& #39;s eyeball.
Like, the actual eyeball.
I still have no idea what the fuck drunk me was thinking.

24. As a kid, I also used to have a huge fear of dogs.
The fear was so bad that once, whilst running away from a dog chasing me in a park, I got my head stuck in a park bench. https://twitter.com/KTCCLawson/status/1387124261341499400?s=20">https://twitter.com/KTCCLawso...

25. Also, as a kid, I developed a deep fascination and interest in Star Trek to the point that I made custom Star Trek figures, had a model Starship Enterprise, and learned the Vulcan salute.
I had never seen a single TV episode of Star Trek until 3 years ago.

26. Alright, here& #39;s the grossest one so far. Fair warning.
I have a very strong sense of smell, which is strong enough that I can tell when a woman nearby me is on her period. I really fucking wish I didn& #39;t have this ability.

27. I learned to ride a bike by accident.
28. I had an ongoing feud with a girl at school who I just absolutely could not fucking stand, and when I discovered her cat had died, in the most psychopath move possible, I drew her a picture of her cat in a blender during art class.
I am still remembered by that art teacher.

29. I nearly got kicked out of a ski lodge for snorting pepper and salt off the tables.
30. I was stung in the eye by a bee as a child, and for genuinely a few years, I actually thought THAT was why I had a lazy eye.
