Susie tagged me to reveal seven facts about myself.
Not an easy thing to think about. Unlike Susie, I was never expelled from school, never stole pages (or anything else) from other pupils, never taught anyone interesting (although....),and I don't even know what a 'wanger' is! I must have led a very boring life.
So, I'll have a try. Some people will already know some of these and most of you will, no doubt, find them all fairly uninteresting.
- I don't know what a wanger is but I was a bit of a skinhead for about 4 months in the 1970s.
- I saw the Rolling Stones at Streatham Odeon before they were famous.
- I used to teach ballet (Jon was far more interesting and taught music to Tracey Ullmann, Lena Zavaroni and Lesley Ash)
- I hate chardonnay
- I have always dreamed of living by the sea (note, the Lot is landlocked and at least 4 hours from the sea in any direction)
- I once spent an hour on a Sunday afternoon having a telephone conversation with Mike Read (the DJ) who had recently moved into our village. His neighbours (who lived in a caravan) had stolen his toboggan.
- I smoked (choked on, actually) my first cigarette when I was peer pressured by our neighbour's daughter. I was 13 (sorry Mum, Margaret made me)
Dull stuff eh?
I tag Bee at Telford Crew and Sam de Bretagne! (But Bee, only tell me things I want to hear, sweetheart, eh?).

Mum, I do hate you sometimes!! This will take a little bit of thinking so give me a couple of hours!!
If Margaret had told you to put your head in the oven would you?????
She who was so scared of her parents had apparently been smoking since she was 11! I didn't like it at the time but, as is well recorded, went back to it later.
More than 20 years since we gave up though!
Great revelations, I have yet to write mine! We must get Susie back one day!
A temporary skinhead and a ballet teacher. I wouldn't have suspected that. :-)
