I’ve been meaning to get around to writing this meme post for some time. Thanks to Kat and Bruce for tagging me with this dubious honour.
So, here goes:
1. I once won first prize in a roller dance competition by performing a freestyle arrangement to the theme tune of Paddington Bear.
2. I have advertised alpaca shawls on local Bolivian TV.
3. I was one grade away from fulfilling the requirements of a place offered to me at Mansfield College, Oxford. Given the choice to retake, I chose instead to stick to my plan of taking a year out and traveling the world. I sometimes regret that decision, but mostly I don’t.
4. I was selected to try out for the UK Women’s Waterpolo Team… but didn’t make it in.
5. I fear that the things I do are not quite good enough (especially this sentence, which on the first go was very poorly constructed – see below).
6. I have eaten cow brains.
7. I have had a gun held against my head.
To continue this meme I call upon Julia Gilbert, Chris Unitt, Jaki Booth, D’Log (for he is a man of mystery), dp (as before), Karen Strunks and Fiona Handscomb.
Hmm. A teaser then. D’log and I have been acquainted for some time, through our appreciation of certain Black Country materialities.
‘never’ quite good enough? If so I see what you mean
Never quite good enough? So do I
Clifford, the red postman,
It was late. No other excuse. I have corrected the sentence. Apologies.
Clifford: Once again, in your indomitable style, you have helped me to confirm my worst fears. What would I do without you?
