Back in the Game

Has it really been that long since my last post? I am afraid recently my life has been dominated by moving flat and interesting developments at work which mean I have less free time than before. Anyway, those are topics for another day (if ever). I shall ease myself back into the game via the coward's route; a meme from Slaminsky.

1. PICK OUT A SCAR YOU HAVE, AND EXPLAIN HOW YOU GOT IT

Cut to Art class, circa 1984, my friend Neil threads his pencil through the hole that
they have for no apparent reason at the bottom of Stanley Knives. He begins to twirl the pencil around allowing the blade of the knife to rotate in a fashion that would years later become fashionable in the BBC series 'Robot Wars'. Unfortunately, Neil's grasp of physics was not what it should have been. The knife worked its way up the pencil, and with unerring inevitably, came flying off in my direction and sliced a nice gash on my jawline. Being friends and all, and not wanting to be a 'grass', I stuck some tissue on it, kept out of the teacher's way and now I have a tough looking scar.

2. WHAT IS ON THE WALLS IN YOUR ROOM?

Paint.

3. WHAT DOES YOUR PHONE LOOK LIKE?

If you mean the phone in the flat then it is a pretty horrible looking thing like this, only black. My mobile looks like this.

4. WHAT MUSIC DO YOU LISTEN TO?

All of it.


5. WHAT IS YOUR CURRENT DESKTOP PICTURE?



6. WHAT DO YOU WANT MORE THAN ANYTHING RIGHT NOW?

A holiday.

7. DO YOU BELIEVE IN GAY MARRIAGE?

I don't see why not.

8. WHAT TIME WERE YOU BORN?

No idea. But I do share a birthday with Cliff Richard.

9. ARE YOUR PARENTS STILL TOGETHER?

Yes.

10. WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO?

It was Carl Craig, but now it is drilling and gunshots, typical Spanish Sunday morning fare.

11. DO YOU GET SCARED OF THE DARK?

No, that would make me a Jesse.

12. THE LAST PERSON TO MAKE YOU CRY?

Sting. His continued existence tends to affect me deeply.

13. WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE COLOGNE / PERFUME?

Don't wear after-shave (see Q11).

14. WHAT KIND OF HAIR/EYE COLOUR DO YOU LIKE ON THE OPPOSITE SEX?

Brown and brown.

15. DO YOU LIKE PAIN KILLERS?

In the sense that they bring relief from pain (sometimes), yes. In any other sense, no.

16. ARE YOU TOO SHY TO ASK SOMEONE OUT?

Of course, I am not American.

17. FAVE PIZZA TOPPING?

Things from the sea.
