Relaxed Parents

I’m pretty sure I’ve already done one of these but I got tagged by Tessa over at the Boob Juice Factory. And I secretly love making lists – occupational hazard of being male.

Question is, can I actually manage six more interesting ones?

(Pauses. Scratches head.)

Okay. Here goes.

1. The less than marvellous band I was in once supported Mega City 4 in a club in Hamburg. Disaster struck after the first two songs. I broke a string. With no spare guitar, I had to re-string rapidly, forgot to stretch the new ‘E’ properly and spent the rest of the dismal set wrestling with an untuneable guitar and sweating profusely. I was also aware of MC4’s arsenal of guitars immediately behind us. Bastards. So we stole all their beer.
2. I used to be able to break 100,000 on Missile Command.
3. I can ride a horse and jump. The horse, that is. I mean, I can sit on a horse and persuade the horse to jump. Or I could 28 years ago (note to self: must create ‘6 things I did once or used to do and have to do again’ meme).
4. I shook Charles Haughey’s hand when I was 17. He was short.
5. I can’t drive. This really annoys supermum (though, perversely she says that if I ever learn, she wouldn’t want to risk being driven by me).
6. My name has legally changed three times.

I’m supposed to tag someone. Heh.

SUPERMUM!
