8 Random Things about Me.
I’ve been tagged (twice actually) to do a post giving out 8 random pieces of information about me. I don’t normally ‘do’ tags but I thought this would be a fun challenge. I’m not going to tag anyone else – but feel free to do you own post if you wish.
So:
1. I’m a fussy eater and you’ll often see me ‘dissecting’ sandwiches and throwing away the bits I don’t like.
2. I change my brand of toothpaste after I finish every tube.
3. My favourite part of a woman’s body is the nape of her neck.
4. I am just over 6 feet tall.
5. During the 1980’s IRA bombing campaign in London I missed explosions by 20 minutes and two train platforms on one occasion and by three hours and several feet on another. Living in that kind of environment changes you forever.
6. I have been interviewed on the BBC show Panorama.
7. I have had 4-5 blackouts due to heavy drinking. The memory of those times has never come back.
8. I have been to four weddings but only one funeral.

Hah! and you say I'm a media whore? panorama eh?
In the 70's & 80's everyone in London just missed a bombing - unless they were caught up in it. It was just part of my childhood - normal to me. I suppose it chnaged me in some way or another, but no more than any other part of my childhood - and a lot less than certain parts!
I have never lost any time from heavy drinking. Or other substances. I'm shocked! shocked I tell you.....
RE #5: I think most of us in the US would do well to remember that we've been pretty lucky concerning terrorism and violence. That one incident (albeit a terrible incident) isn't a reason to start dismantling the constitution and that other countries have been dealing with this for years.
What is Panorama? Just curious.
Only one funeral? I assume that just means you have chosen not to or not been able to attend others?
I think I'll do this one cuz it's interesting.
"4. I am just over 6 feet tall."
I am 6 ft tall exactly.
Hey You!
((hugs))
I've been a busy bee and I'm sorry I haven't been by sooner. I promise I'll try to make my rounds more often. This crafting business has been just so dang exciting!
I miss our conversations...

so you teaching me all those bad habits and leading me astray on tha leaving do doesn't count then as there is some fuzzy memory that there may have been a bus involved somewhere in the way of getting home. lol

Well... I wouldn't call *one* TV appearence 'whoring'.. [grin]

Probably - but it was all new and very strange to me. Going about your daily life with the real possibility of random death takes a bit of getting used to!

[grin]. Well, I'm not much of a drinker and most of my blackouts happened in my 20's... It's when I ocassionally 'over indulge' that enough brain cells die to wipe my memory of the event/evening.

Indeed. We've had terrorism in the UK & mainland Europe for over 30 years without us losing our civil liberties etc.. It's only very recently that terrorism has been used as an excuse to increase Government control of its population. It worries me when our own Governments become enemies of an open society.
Laura asked: What is Panorama? Just curious.
It's a late night 50 minute Current Affairs programme. The one I was on was quite boring actually - about railway efficency targets [grin].
Laura asked: Only one funeral? I assume that just means you have chosen not to or not been able to attend others?
Firstly very few people I know have died. Most of those who did were not close to me and so I wasn't 'invited' to attend - and from my limited experience I can honestly say that I don't like funerals (not that you're supposed to *like* them I guess).

Me too. I hope that you can make time (sometime) to join in with some here - or elsewhere. I'll try and pick a nice juicy topic that you can't possibly avoid! Hope all is well with you & yours.
Are you *really* 6ft tall? That's tall.... for a woman.

I think that you have enough bad habits of your own! Getting off that bus early was probably a very good idea - much better than being *thrown* off the bus! [rotflmao].
oooohhhhh such a slur on my innocent little character there. And here was me thinking i was sposed to look up to and learn from my elders. [bg]
Mind you at my height, looking up probably acounts for nearly everyone other than children and Hobbits.
I also dissect my sammies and the nape of the neck, oooohhhh, chills every time. Yow!
Some parts of the sandwich don't appeal to me so I also throw away the parts I don't like. I prefer to say I am particular about what I eat. : )
