Me at 43

Taken from the 100 Things About Me list that’s available in many places online 🙂  I left the original numbers, just to confuse y’all.

  1. What is your name? If you haven’t worked this out by now, I feel sorry for you!
    6. What is your favourite vegetable? I’d say tomato, but that’s a fruit. Kumera?
    8. What is the worst exam result you remember ever getting? C, in sixth form physics. I giggled my way thru the exam (apologies classmates) and am still amazed I passed on about 4 hours sleep that week.
    10. Can you swim? Like a fish. Except for the breathing underwater bit. I haven’t mastered that.
    13. Who is your favourite comedian? I love Michael McIntyre. And Jimmy Carr. And the writers for Pixar. And Sarah Millican. Sarah Pascoe. More the English style rather than ‘murican, altho Dane Cook can be pretty damn funny too. I don’t like comics who feel the need to explain the joke.
    14. Who is your favourite politician? Helen Clark. She rocks, despite not being currently “in politics”.
    15. Who is your favourite historical figure (been dead for at least 100 years)? Jane Digby (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Digby for a quick look, but definitely check out Mary S Lovell’s book)

    32. What is the worst TV show you have ever seen? Any sitcom that gets re-written. LEAVE IT ALONE!
    33. What is the worst book you have ever read? I’ve read some shitters lately. Sense & French Ability is the most recent (it IS a book, altho I can see why M might think it’s p*rn. Easy mistake, babe.)
    34. What is the worst song you have ever heard? MMM-Bop!!! Apologies if you get an earworm.
    35. What is the worst sport you know of? Darts
    36. Who is the worst movie “star” ever? Tom Cruise, Ricky Gervaise…
