Tagged

Well, I’ve just been tagged by Emily who writes one of my favourite blogs, Doing it all again. So this means I have to give you all 8 random facts about me:

  1. I’m a distant relation of the godfather of English Football, Sir Stanley Matthews
  2. I have a fascination with the diabolo, and intend that this summer I shall finally learn how to get two going at once
  3. I once saw a ghost labrador
  4. I can walk on my knees in the lotus position. I once “walked” the length of a gym doing this, now I suspect that would hurt a lot
  5. My father claims to have one up on Pele, in that he once scored a goal from the halfway line, and Pele famously didn’t.
  6. I used to play competitive chess, and gave it up when I got fed up with being beaten by 7 year old child geniuses
  7. My mother claims to have invented the “weather map as comedy device”, as she sent a sketch using this to That Was The Week That Was, which appeared a few weeks later uncredited.
  8. I first wrote on this very website back in 1998.

I tag back Al, Emma, Wonderduck, Iamnotthebeatles, Ben, & Sarah.

    Well, 5 out of 8 of those I didn’t know – although to be fair, you probably had told me ;-) You haven’t even tagged me *sobs wildly* ;()

    One thing I do know – you are going to be Jodie Marsh’s new husband ;-) ))))))

    Heh, I didn’t tag you as despite many efforts, you don’t seem to want to blog :P

    And thank so much for offering me up for bigamy with her, I am so grateful. I could even think of five or six actresses off Emmerdale I’d rather commit bigamy with.

  3. Sarah says:

    The actresses off Emmerdale that you so heartily lust over are probably more riddled with STD’s than La Marsh – especially dozy Roxanne Pallett. Wizard’s sleeve springs to mind……

  4. flotsky says:

    She isn’t on the list, thank you very much. Well not that I’d admit to you, anyway.

  5. Sarah says:

    Your exact words last night were: ‘what a fantastic set of knockers’ ;-)

  6. flotsky says:

    Man should not marry for knockers alone though.

  7. Sarah says:

    I think we’ll leave it there ;-)

    Why don’t you learn to spell competitive? Didn’t your mother teach you anything? and another thing – it was inside my own half from where I scored – not the halfway line! I volleyed back the goalkeeper’s kick- out back over his head.
    I didnt know your Mum sent that sketch to TW3 !!! 8-) You must tell me about the ghost labrador sometime………..

  9. flotsky says:

    I am corrected on both counts then ;) And the ghost labrador is a long and dull story.
