Sunday Morning Bacon & Egg Buttie/16 Things...
I woke up this morning to find myself alone in the house. Quite an unusual occurrence for a sunday morning.
My fab in-laws volunteered to take both the kids overnight and Ange has gone out to shoot portraits for her college work (expect fabness later).
So I decided to open up the windows, pop Little Britain on the iPod dock, blow a few cobwebs out and cook meself a bacon butty!
I almost never cook bacon when Ange is around, it's not that she disapproves of it, although she doesn't like it herself, but there must be some latent, fat-man guilt attached to making these things, probably because it's all fried.
Anyway, my last medical said my cholestrol levels were fine and I'm using low-fat marge spread stuff!
Anyway, a little while ago, Nuala29 posted a 16 things meme thing with a sort of open innvitaion/open tagging thing, so I thought I'd have ago while I drink my tea and wait for the washing to finish.
If I had any kind of interweby knowledge, I'd link to Nuala's pic, but I'm useless. Go look at her whole photostream, its fab...
1. I am allergic to Penicillin. I should wear one of those emergency braclet things or something but I'm not keen on things around my neck or wrist.
2. I hate coffee. I've tried, really I have, but it's just bitter, horrible stuff that makes me feel sick.
3. My dad has alleged that my family is related to Sir Walter Scott, Edgar Allen Poe and Robert Louis Stevenson. It changes everytime you ask him although I think the Poe one would be the coolest.
4. My mum was banned from going to see the Exorcist because she was heavily pregnant with me at the time and the cinema staff though the film would be too shocking for her to watch. Pity, how cool would it be to say, "I was born in a cinema during a showing of the Exorcist"?
5. I have never seen The Godfather.
6. When I was two I had three imaginary friends called Billy, David and Golda.
7. I can fire, strip and clean a shotgun.
8. I cannot legally drive. I failed my theory test when I was 21 and never bothered to take the test again.
9. I have researched a three-part epic supernatural historical western that I am too lazy/timid to write.
10. I cannot roll my 'R's. I don't know why, I just never got the knack.
11. DIY makes me unbelievably angry. I very, very quickly loose my temper with things and have been known to throw hammers at things, although I never once deliberately threw a hammer at Ange, no matter what she might tell you!
12. I find Stanley Kubrick REALLY over-rated.
13. About 80% of the music on my i-Pod I have no recollection of buying or even liking.
14. I met Dave Prowse when I was about nine. He came to my school to give a talk on road safety (he was the Green Cross Code man here in the UK), this was just after Jedi was released and he asked us if we thought it was sad when Luke torched his body on the pyre at the end. My teacher knew how nuts I was for Star Wars and arranged for me to get an autograph (Dave Prowse IS Darth Vader!). I was the only kid in the school to get one. I have long since lost it.
15. I prefer the very first version of Blade Runner, I LIKE the voice over.
16. I once ate six Cadburys Creme Eggs in one go.
I'm supposed to tag 16 other people but that feels like too much hard work.
Also, I completely screwed this up because it's supposed to be self portrait.
Pah!
