Lol good thread! When I was 10;

* Last year at Primary School in Blackburn, Lancashire, Northern England.
* Didn't watch F1 at the time, but I know some of my friends did. I remember someone bringing in a big poster of Eddie Irvine in his Ferrari. I watched the next Grand Prix (don't know which one it was), and enjoyed it, but didn't watch any more for another four years (2004 Australian GP). I haven't miss one since that one!
* When I was 10, my favourite sport was snooker.
* I played snooker on a little table in my lounge, with waistcoat, bow-tie and everything.
* I played out on the street with some great childhood mates. We played on our bikes, played cricket, played penalties, hide and seek, we messed around in the woods nearby, collected spiders in butter tubs, had adventures in each others garages and on driveways and also in the back streets through "the dark alley"...
* I used to enjoy drawing a lot.
* I hated the thought of going to secondary school, hated the idea of doing A-Levels, DESPISED the possible thought of undergraduate education and hated acting. I'm now about to complete 3 years of undergraduate training in acting :rofl:

I was in America, Upper Arlington Ohio to be precise living there. Witnessed 9/11 almost first hand in relative terms, spent all day watching CNN trying to make some sense of it.

I can't remember what I did at age 10, because, well, I was 10.
I had that Evel Kneivel toy as well!
And the Big Jim Rescue Rig, and his plane too. But the Rescue Rig had this fake walkie talkie that had a little record in it, and when you hit the talk button it would play at random one of the 8 phrases. I can only remember, "I'm going in for a look". I go around saying it to this day.

Hmm, 10.

I still had waist-length brown hair - I didn't chop mine off until I was 11... I lived in the midlands. I was a shy, introverted bookworm. I was also a massive tomboy, running around climbing trees and raising hell with my brothers. I didn't watch F1 yet - I only started watching after Ayrton died - so a year later in 1994.

Those were the days...
