Vampires and moving water are a big no-no - not good for them. Read up on your myths and legends :)

Do you get scared when people are annoyed with you and show you they're cross?

:erm: Alright, I'm leaving

I am trying to overcome my phobia now - I have set a target to be able to go on holiday abroad later this year - I've had a trip to Heathrow just to look :sick: and can drive on the M11 without freaking out when I pass Stanstead and Duxford! :D

Well done Chi.. I am sure you'll make it to wherever you are going, although I do remember some of the stories you told me on the way to Manchester.

I personally don't have any phobias.

I think the world land speed record would be in serious danger.

I've also got a "thing" abouts toys coming to life, so ridiculous I know. I've never been able to watch Chucky or Bride Of Chucky not even from behind the settee. Also that bit in Poltergist when the clown doll comes to life :erm: :eek: :Yikes: :Sprint:

Mines heights. Trying everything to combat it such as going up the Eiffel tower, CN Tower, KL Tower, London Eye, Bucket in the roof of a cave but i still get a jelly feeling in my knees. Even get that feeling sitting in the gods at a west end theatre.

Everyone is scared of that sort of thing from time to time.

Actually, I did have a bit of a phobia about computers (I know, it's ironic as now I work on them for a living and love it). I think this is probably due to several films I saw when I was younger that all involved meglomaniac computers taking over the world. Of course, that sort of thing couldn't happen now? Could it? :disturbd:

Me too - but heres the thing - planes, no problem window seat and all - go figure.

And why is it that i always want to challenge my fear, yet never overcome it? I managed the second platform on the Eiffel tower then said - no way. Was recently on top of the tower on the big hill in Prague (if anyones ever been there) though, and my knees were knocking like crazy.

Even got a headache from the shock when i came back down, i would do it again - but it wont help my fear.

i have no fear of heights in planes either. I think its because you dont have any height perspective as its too high. I didnt go up the tower on the hill in Prague but i did go up the communications tower there, that wasnt too bad as it was totally enclosed.

It actually moves at the top - you feel it blowing in the wind. Not good.

I went up to the 99th (top) floor of a building in Shanghai - awesome! Fortunately I have no fear at all of heights, but any sort of dark hole in the ground gives me the creeps
