The Magnificent Seven
Davide, the great big bastard, has passed on the ‘What are the seven best things you did this past year?’ meme. It’s spreading faster than the clap at the Sun’s Christmas party.
Anyway, it’s going to be difficult to do this without sounding horribly smug and self-congratulatory so I might as well just get on with it. In no particular order…
- Getting asked to write for these guys. Like having Jim fix something for me.
- Getting asked to curate this.
- Getting an apology from former Tory leader Michael Howard. (He bumped into me with his bag at Victoria tube station.)
- Teaching my two kids to sing ‘French Foreign Legion‘ by Frank Sinatra by the simple expedient of subjecting them to it at every opportune moment. Now, a truncated troop of Von Trapps, we entertain ourselves by sweetly braying the crooning monster’s finest moment. (obligatory ‘I love my family’ entry)
- Oh, I don’t know. I found a forgotten fiver in a jacket pocket.
- Breaking the bank at Monte Carlo.
- Helping to kill this meme by not passing it on.
Update: I’m offering a new service: Meme Killer. If you have any annoying memes which you feel obliged to pass on but in fact hate, send them here and I will drown them like superfluous kittens.
Update update: Nosemonkey also nominated me. He’s an even bigger bastard. He insists I come up with another seven. Here goes.
- Having a go on Nosemonkey’s mother. Seven times.

Sorry about that, I won’t do it again…honest!
Hmmm, 7 best moments of 07?
Nice cliche, I’ll join in if you don’t mind;
1. FINALLY getting a job.
2. Shouting at my family memebers for saying my name wrong AND getting away with it.
3. Being invited to a work christmass do even though I have never worked at ELC
4. Meeting some very nice (female) friends at somebody’s engagment party.
5. Finding a tenner in my levis
6. Discovering that I have a very rich uncle who owns a boat in the local marina.
7. Getting to drive/sail (do you sail a motor boat?) the boat, even though it was only to the harbour mouth.
[...] As I’m supposed to tag seven people, I’ll go for Justin, Chicken Yoghurt, Mr McKeating, ChickYog, that blog book editor guy, twatfeatures and a beardy northerner - because he loves these things so much. (And yes, yes I do expect you to do it again seven times, you slacker…) Bookmark to: December 23rd, 2006 at 4:08 pm [...]
That fiver you found in your pocket - was it yours?
Thanks for your valuable social service in offering to kill memes. My humble thanks. I will be sure to remember you in my estate.
