Oh shut up. Yes, I’ve given in. After the third person nominated me for the Versatile Blogger Award (Charlene, Prefectdt, Lea) I started to feel like the grumpy kid in the playground who doesn’t want to play
So apparently I have to start by thanking my nominators. Thank you. If any of you are familiar with the tone used by Marvin the Paranoid Android, imagine it now.
What’s next? Seven things about me. Or is it seven interesting things? Let’s just say it’s a positive integer between six and eight. I won’t include anything I’ve revealed before.
- I used to have a tiny plane which I kept in a farmer’s field. It was exactly like a (slightly) scaled up child’s toy – single seat, little stubby wings. Powered by a Volkswagen “Beetle” engine, you had to start it yourself by hand, swinging the prop. Your head just stuck out the top in the airstream. What fun it was, like a motorbike in the sky.
- I am highly curious and love to explore, both mentally and physically. Very often people mistake this abnormal curiosity for intelligence, but they soon realise their mistake
- I love Marmite and Peanut Butter (not together) and get through huge quantities.
- At college I was famous for doing a specific magic trick. It was the only one I knew, but no-one could figure out how I did it. They used to insist I change things about it, to try and pin down how it worked, but it still worked. Some people concluded I really did have some kind of strange power. I concluded that academic people are easily fooled
Actually I had about seven different ways to make the trick work, and just swapped them around as necessary. Sneaky or what. - I understand things very quickly, but soon forget them again. Probably this is why I am so curious, everything seems new. Who are you again?
- My wife and I interacted as strangers long before we met. She used to produce critical data, which occasionally became corrupted through system malfunctions. She says she was told it might be recoverable, as there was an expert who could sometimes do this sort of thing, but he was very grumpy and uncooperative! Needless to say I hardly recognise this description of myself, perhaps I was a bit “intense” when younger. I did manage to recover the various data sets that came my way, and a few years later when we did meet under completely different circumstances, and fell in love, we realised the connection. Worse still, I realised what had caused the system problems. Damn.
- I used to have two West Highland Terriers, who were much loved – hence my profile picture. I still can’t pass a Westie in the street without both smiling and feeling a pang.
Hmmm, if I have revealed any of these before, see (5).
Now I have to pass the award onto 15 other bloggers – who have already got it anyway, and ignored it in all likelihood. Do they really have to be versatile, and how is this decided? As far as I can see, all the blogs I read have got the award. Raven Red? Emanuele? If anyone is really deserving of such an award it is probably Chross (who must have had it 1000 times by now!) I’m stuck. I know, I’ll be versatile and post a spanking picture instead…
Well, they do both seem to have a tranquil aura, totally absorbed in spanking and being spanked. I’m sure she will go away a lot happier






Wordsmith. Your seven thoughts I embrace, Which includes that you were a ‘flying ace’.
Thank you SOTB! I’ve always felt I have a lot in common with Snoopy
Wordsmith. Who would you have liked to come to your rescue, if that plane of yours was downed. Prince William, Kate Middleton, or Pippa.
It would have to be Kate, much more sensible than William and Pippa would be too busy posing for the cameras to help. Yep, Kate mopping my brow while I spank Pippa, perfect
Glad you finally caved. Always interesting to read some real life tidbits about my fave bloggers.
Hi Lea! Might have to erase some bits – already enough to identify me
Funny how the inconsequential facts are what people remember. Doesn’t really bother me, but might be bad for business
WOOT! Thank you wordsmith!
Season’s Greetings Charlene
There are a few bits of digital mince pie left, help yourself!
