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?

I’ve been tagged again. Do you think if I stopped bathing people would stop getting close enough to tag me? Or are serial Taggers like Whenn immune to such things?

I have to tell you 8 random facts about me. I had no idea you were so interested!

1. Despite a hatred of being tagged, I love the attention and get annoyed when people don’t tag me.
2. I was born 6 weeks early with my umbilical chord tied in a knot and my flesh wasting away. (The doctors managed to save my life, but I’ve since been told they regret it.)
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.
4. I have never had a Girlfriend.
5. I was caught trying to steal a Yo-Yo from a Newsagent.
6. When I was around 10 I broke two bones in my left arm after falling off a skateboard. ( I never used that Skateboard again, much to my parents chagrin)
7. I actually look better in my passport picture than in real life!
8. Despite working in a call centre I hate talking to people on the Telephone.

To make this meme more exciting however I’ve included a little challenge. Two of the above statements are false. Can you guess which ones?

I’m not going to tag anyone, but if you want to play along here are the rules.

1. Include these rules in the post.
2. Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
3. People who are tagged need to write their own post about their eight things and post these rules.
4. At the end of your post, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
5. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.
