I was born with a twisted left leg bone. If it hadn't of sorted itself out by the age of 12 I would've had to have my leg broken in 2 places and reset so I could walk properly.
This was diagnosed correctly by the worlds biggest African man in Basingstoke after army doctors failed to diagnose correctly. Apparently I cried at the sight of this African doctor ad I'd never seen a black man before......

My surname, Dolman, is one of the oldest names in existence. It's a Druid name. It means the horizontal stone on the Stonehenge monument.
Some of my relatives were on one of the boats that left the Mayflower Steps (in my hometown, Plymouth), to discover America.

My Dad,
Was a secret radio operator during WW2, based a lot of the time at Bletchly Park, intercepting coded morse messages, German and Russian! he was also able to send coded morse messages, duplicating the style of the German/Russian operators, fooling them with mis-information.
On D-day he was assigned to land on "Utah beach" with American 101st Airborne and was attached to "Easy company" to push forward well behind enemy lines... ring any bells?
Was directly involved with Allied forces, in the liberation of Bergen-Belsen concentration camp... this haunts me to this day, to think he saw what he saw.
Was also directly involved in "The Battle of the Bulge"
He joined the Army just before his 15th birthday (lied about his age) and was all done just after his 21st birthday at the end of the war... makes you think!
Very proud of my Dad, who passed away 3 years ago

I used to play for 3 rugby teams. county. school. and a local team.
school was 11th best in england irland scotland and wales.
local team entered a international tornament playing teams like argentina. under 18. And other countrys teams including the south african international side. we came 2nd loosing by. a few points in a try scored in the last min. this tornament was for under 18 and under 19 teams. we were under 17's. so most of us were 16 playing 18/19/20 year olds :D
Also when you ggo into u17s the rules change. ie lifting in lineouts. being able to come around the acrum ect. the first match in that tornament was the firat time we had played a proper game with those rules. also we almost got banned cause the rules were every team member had to be in there room by 11 and asleep by 12. We would be out drinking and having bbqs til 4am and had to get up at 7 to set off for the tournament were as the other tteams would be going to sleep at tenish :D

My granddad researched/designed and built a machine that is used to break down any substance to it's chemical components.
It was originally called the Plasma Quad and he got a Queens Award for Technology for it.
The rights to it were bought by a company and the latest generations of it are what you see in the CSI labs on TV analysing substances (mass spectroscopy).
