John Konichiwa, may his name forever live in infamy, has tagged me with another damned meme: to list eight random facts about myself. Or should that be ‘facts’? You decide. One of the following is not true. But which one?

  1. I once kissed popular British comedian Frank Skinner.
  2. Thanks to the incompetent dentistry I was subjected to as a child, I have only 26 teeth.
  3. I used to quite like fishing. Until I actually caught a fish.
  4. I want this played at my funeral. My Viking funeral.
  5. The actor Michael Jayston once came up to me in a restaurant and praised me for getting my two year-old daughter to say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’.
  6. In the past, in order to impress girls, I have tried both vegetarianism and Leonard Cohen. I took to neither. (Vegetarianism and Leonard Cohen, that is, the girls were very nice. Well, one was.)
  7. A few years ago, while going ‘commando’, I opened the door to a man in a wheelchair. My flies were inadvertently undone and we saw eye to eye.
  8. This is my fourth regeneration.

Spreading the misery, then:

1. Tim Ireland.
2. PDF.
3. Jim Bliss.
4. Clive Nosemonkey.
5. Eugenides.
6. Robert Sharp.
7. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
8. Pond.

    Seem to be a rash of these bloody memes at the moment. I’m under one myself just now.

    Certain tag choices make this offence somewhat easier to forgive.

    :o )

    I don’t get this. If you don’t like ‘em why do you do ‘em? If you do like ‘em, why do you pretend not to?
    You’re an intelligent man who writes entertainingly on important subjects, not a fucking 15-year old schoolboy who’d do this sorta shit.

    [...] time I’ve been tagged from two separate directions. Larry “nice arse” Teabag and Justin “light my fire” Yoghurt, employing a classic pincer manoeuvre, have inflicted this upon you dear reader. Please remember [...]
