17 facts about me!

Seeing as Bex and others have been doing these 20 facts lists, I thought I'd throw in my 17 as well!

Here goes:

1. All first-born males in my paternal bloodline have Charles as a middle name.

2. I used to do a little stand-up whilst at Plymouth University.

3. I secretly like ABBA.

4. I have never taken any illeagal drugs whatsoever.

5. I wanted to be a pilot when younger, but failed the BA eye test.

6. I have a BSc (Hons) in Chemistry, and also in Business Management.

7. Favourite bands include Stones, Led Zep, Creation and Cream.

8. One of my wishes was to see the Grateful Dead with THE Wall of Sound.

9. I can't honestly think of a time when I have cried since 1994.

10. I rarely sleep more than 4 hours at night, and 1 hour during daylight.

12. John Entwistle was my all-time number 1 music hero.

13. I used to play cricket for a local club.

14. I love all aircraft and try to go to a few airshows each year (spare places on my tent pitch for RIAT at RAF Fairford this July 12-17!!)

15. I used to eat KitKats without removing the foil first. As a kid, I thought it'd help my iron intake!!

16. I love Private Eye, and shared a house with Ian Hislop's godson at Uni (oooh - talk about name-dropping!!)

17. I believe anyone who reads this and thinks they understand me needs their head examined sooner than me!!!!!!!

Take care people, and hope to chat to you soon!

Hi Ben! WOW you are very complex in certain areas! I really learned about you and am very impressed! I still need to do the 20 things about me. I kept getting tagged by my other friends who are not Rachel Fans and I sort of got burned out. So I will have to post a blog about it this week! Hope I don't bore you too much. Drop me a line in the white box and I will add you to my blog.

uh oh i understand you...but i've already had my head examined...SO THERE!
but i honestly didn't get the kitkat part...I'm guessing you didn't have any silver fillings (which are actually an amalgam of silver, nickel and mercury. they should be banned. i had them removed. i heard they contributed to tinnitus but my ears still ring. oh well).
aren't you glad i stopped by?
it's fun chatting at molly's with you! see you again soon!
take care,
Sue D.

BEn. good work on reminding rachel about the bikini. I hope it works. And yeah, i'm with lzygrl on the kit-kat foil. that is mental. Nothing wrong with smoking during a cricket match. i do it often an d it eases the boredom -ever so slightly.

Did you know? i am now officially stalking a bunch of peope on blogland. Three of them are posting here! I am following them. Shssh.

Hi Ben
Missed your birthday by a hair's width. Dang. Maybe better next year?

I've fallen out of the loop, if that's what you call it. No clue how to get back to the ballerina, no idea where to find the chat page again, and no idea when the chat sessions take place.
And you?

Well well, as I wait posting this, I discover Molly has a blogpage up and running again. See where that leads us.
