I’ve been tagged by more people than I can remember for this particular meme (not least Heather, Aq and Rob) so I thought I’d better get around to it at last.
1. I’m almost totally deaf in my left ear
2. I’ve supported Liverpool FC for over 25 years, but I’ve never been inside Anfield, and only been to Liverpool once.
3. My first ever internet domain was www.bird-in-a-cage.co.uk back in 2001
4. My first ever email address was at Uni – 9704293t@student.gla.ac.uk – can’t believe I still remember that.
5. I had photos taken with Cliff Richard on a double decker bus (as part of the press release for an event called Release The Power)
6. At birth I had severe muscular problems, and it was (I believe) questionable as to whether I would talk, let alone walk.
7. My best ever 10-pin bowling score is 128.
8. I’ve been a Linux user since 1998.
9. My Dad looks like Rowan Williams (current Archbishop of Canterbury)
10. The first car I ever owned was an orange Fiat Panda.
11. I didn’t fly or travel to another continent until after I was married.
12. Heather and I will have been married 10 years this year.
13. My wife, mother, mother-in-law, and sister-in-law are all teachers.
14. I liked all the Matrix movies.
15. I have never owned a new computer.
16. I’ve been a Christian for 23 years this Easter.
17. I’ll probably never be a best-man at a wedding. This makes me sad.
18. I co-host a podcast called Classic Yak
19. I have a Bachelor of Divinity degree – but I didn’t do honours.
20. My favourite beer is Pauwel Kwak, closely followed by Innis & Gunn and Moosehead.
21. I completed Tomb Raider 1 and 2 on the PC.
22. My first guitar was an ESP 300 series electric. My first acoustic was a 2nd hand guitar made by Hondo. (My parents let me return the guitar they had bought me, and then use all my 18th birthday cash to buy a better model)
23. The first film I ever owned was Inner Space.
24. When I was younger (and for many years), I really wanted to be a policeman.
25. I didn’t learn to ride a bike until I was 8, or swim until I was 9.
