Carl Stanbridge
Each member of the Creative Team was asked to give 10 fun facts about themselves. Here is what Carl said:
- I worked in a chip shop as a teenager and set fire to a huge metal bin which I was made to crawl into and pull the burning rubbish out of by my boss and burnt my eyebrows. I also got fired (quite literally!).
- Many years ago I was showing off to a girl about how far I could throw stones into the sea and acciddentally picked up a dog poo. I still threw it.
- My middle name is Zolan.
- I can vibrate my eyeballs.
- I can ride a bike forwards, sitting backwards on the handlebars.
- When I was 16, I borrowed my Gran's sun tan machine from the 1960s. It burnt my face and I looked like a tomato for a week after that.
- I once cycled with my eyes shut for as long as possible, hit a concrete post, and went over the handlebars.
- I can remember hiding behind the sofa from mummy when I'd done a poo in my nappy and also sitting in the baby bath. (No, that wasn't last year).
- I came 2nd place in the 1979 Felixstowe Carnival as Spider-Man, riding my spider-bike.
- I failed my cycling proficiency test for sticking my right arm out when I wanted to turn left.
