It has been a fortnight for earworms. This is but a small sample of what my twisted mind has been torturing me with:

Ring of Fire - Johnny Cash
Theme tune to The High Life
Nelly The Elephant
Criticise - not sure about this 80s track, think it may be Luther Vandross
Funky Gibbon - The Goodies

My unconscious has no taste.

Have nicked a meme from piyer. It's cut for length.
IF YOU'RE ON MY FRIENDS LIST, I want to know 28 things about you (or however many you can be bothered filling in!) I don't care if we've never talked, never liked each other, or if we already know everything about each other.

1. Your Middle Name:
2. Age:
3. Single or Taken:
4. Favourite Movie:
5. Favourite Song or Album:
6. Favourite Band/Artist:
7. Dirty or Clean:
8. Tattoos and/or Piercings:
9. Do we know each other outside of LJ?
10. What's your philosophy on life?
11. Is the bottle half-full or half-empty?
12. Would you keep a secret from me if you thought it was in my best interest?
13. What is your favourite memory of us?
14. What is your favourite guilty pleasure?
15. Tell me one odd/interesting fact about you:
16. You can have three wishes (for yourself, so forget all the 'world peace etc' malarky) - what are they?
17. Can we get together and make a cake?.
18. Which country is your spiritual home?
19. What is your big weakness?
20. Do you think I'm a good person?
21. What was your best/favourite subject at school?
22. Describe your accent
23. If you could change anything about me, would you?
24. What do you wear to sleep?

27. Time travel: past or future?
28. Will you repost this so I can fill it out for you?


Was penwing's birthday yesterday. scarfell and I committed the cardinal sin of buying something he already owns. Oops. So we now own a full set of the 80s animated series, Trapdoor, which is not such a bad thing in itself but not planned. Play.com have not delivered his other present, which I really, really hope he doesn't have!! The party at the Old Town House in Warrington was great fun - most of us tried the Safari stonegrill, which involved cooking your own bits of meat on a red hot stone. So I have now tried springbok, wildebeast, zebra and wild boar. Very interesting experience!

Now Heroes has finished (sob) we're stuck for a "signature" TV series. Have just started watching Life on Mars so I hope that will fill in. Soundtrack is fab.

1. Your Middle Name: Stephen

2. Age: 32

3. Single or Taken: Not single, not exclusively taken

4. Favourite Movie: Hard to say - there are so many which are my favourites for where I was at the time in my life.

5. Favourite Song or Album: Thunderclap Newman's "Something in the Air"

6. Favourite Band/Artist: Runrig

7. Dirty or Clean: Either's good

8. Tattoos and/or Piercings: No for me, no problem with others having them

9. Do we know each other outside of LJ? Yes

10. What's your philosophy on life? "Not Today" - as in "Shall I get into trouble?" "Not Today"

11. Is the bottle half-full or half-empty? At 50% of rated capacity

12. Would you keep a secret from me if you thought it was in my best interest? Maybe.

13. What is your favourite memory of us? So far - meeting you for the first time at anejo's Eurovision party. I hope to have better as time goes on.

14. What is your favourite guilty pleasure? I'll admit to enjoying Val Doonican's singing.

15. Tell me one odd/interesting fact about you: I have no big toenails.

16. You can have three wishes (for yourself, so forget all the 'world peace etc' malarky) - what are they? 1) To be debt free 2) To be healthy 3) To have the ability to think about what I'm doing and minimise the harm I cause others (Oh wad the pow'r the giftie gie us, tae see oorsel's as ither's see us)


17. Can we get together and make a cake?. Sure. Your place or mine, and what to do with the mix in the meanwhile?

18. Which country is your spiritual home? I don't really have one - the country I feel most comfortable in is the Netherlands but that's not really the same thing.

19. What is your big weakness? I'm a sucker for intelligent women with a sense of humour.

20. Do you think I'm a good person? Yes - very much so.

21. What was your best/favourite subject at school?

22. Describe your accent Definitely Scottish, or maybe Welsh or Irish - occasionally Canadian

23. If you could change anything about me, would you? I'd like to be able to make you more rested, but otherwise no - a person is the sum of their past and to change any of that would change the person.

24. What do you wear to sleep? Depends on company and climate - between full arctic overalls and nothing depending.

25. Trousers or skirts? On me? Mostly trousers, unless kilts count - on women - depends - either's good.

26. Cigarettes or alcohol? Alcohol

27. Time travel: past or future? Future - one minute per minute will do me fine :)

28. Will you repost this so I can fill it out for you? Yes
