and my avatar is great, nothing wrong with a blue neon glow

i could make it red if you wanted me to look even worse....

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?

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

and can drive on the M11 without freaking out when I pass Stanstead and Duxford!

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

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?

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
