The Answers - 8 Simple rules

Having proven that even my own father doesn't know me I'm now happy to correct you all and give you the answers to the last post.

  1. Despite a hatred of being tagged, I love the attention and get annoyed when people don’t tag me.
    TRUE I feel envious of people who were tagged when I’m not. I’ve spent a serious length of time wondering why they were liked more than me. This, possibly, is a side effect of being a traffic whore.

  2. I was born 6 weeks early with my umbilical chord tied in a 'knot' and my flesh wasting away.
    TRUE Ask my parents. They’ll tell you about it, several times, in great detail, with pictures and slides to highlight the relevant points…

  3. When I was a child I wasn’t allowed to play with Action Men. I got my first Action Man on my 18th Birthday.
    TRUE Action man, He-man and the Thunder Cats were all considered too violent for me as a child. I got my first Action Man on my 18th Birthday by a Church friend who mistakenly thought it would remind me of my youth.

  4. I have never had a Girlfriend.
    FALSE I’ve had several. Possibly a case of learning the hard way

  5. I was caught trying to steal a Yo-Yo from a Newsagent.
    TRUE It was a very cool Yo-yo though…

  6. When I was around 10 I broke two bones in my left arm after falling off a skateboard.
    FALSE I did have a skateboard that wasn’t used much. But I’ve never broken a bone in my body. This meant I never got to stay home from school of to have one of those cool casts that everyone signs their name's on. But then, I wouldn't have had any friends to sign it anyway...

  7. I actually look better in my passport picture than in real life!
    TRUE I couldn't get a copy of my passport photo but imagine a slim, young well dressed me with a sexy half smile on my lips. Then compare it to this...


  8. Despite working in a call centre I hate talking to people on the Telephone.
    TRUE Having a mild stammer and slight lisp that gets several times worse when under pressure or drunk, I hate making even simple phone calls in case I screw up, and especially hate phoning for pizza after I’ve been out drinking.
So to summarize I'm a stammering, shoplifting, call centre employee, with telephonic phobia and a series of failed heterosexual relationships, who is however highly skilled at posing for tiny photographs.

How can you not love me?

A-ha, I was wondering which was so amongst that group... and you like to be tagged... time to dig into my files :)

being tagged and tagging people is hard because some people do not want to do the memes. HOWEVER, now that i know... ;)

I grew up watching He-Man and Thunder Cats. I'm such an 80's freak.

I hate being on the phone when I'm tired. I simply cannot talk because my tongue is lazy and sleepy. I really sound stupid.

"flesh wasting away"...that sounds scary! what causes that??

Well it was mostly becuase my body was starved by having my chord tied in a knot and was living off any resources it could find...

I would have been dead if I was born 30 minutes later.
