…I’m slightly allergic to being tagged here at Papersurfer central. I come out in a memey coloured tag-train rash that screams ‘link to me link to me’. However – when the loverly Tango (grrr) tags me who am I to refuse her delightful request to divulge 7 things you wouldn’t care to know about Penfold…
- I hid my first tattoo from my mum for 2 years (after hearing her say ‘okay I can handle an earing but if you ever get a tattoo you’re out of here!’)
- I have a solitary hair that grows straight out of the top of my right ear (I pluck it).
- I love musicals. Nearly all of them. Anyone got a problem with that….?
- When I am turned into a streaming mucous factory by the curse that is hayfever I wander around the house with half a bogroll stuffed up my nostrils. Not pretty but keeps my carbon footprint down.
- I used to be a huge Rocky Horror fan and have wandered the streets of London and New york in a tailcoat and fishnets.
- Sometimes when I’m all alone I throw some well fierce 80’s tracks on the stereo and I do rubbish body-popping and robotics just like it was a school disco in 1986. Nice…
- I watch ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ every week. If I miss it – I youtube it (the UK version of Dancing with the Stars).
Normally at this point I’d tag the 7 newest blogs on FMB or somebody that really hates memes 7 times. Today I shall tag really famous bloggers – you just never know, they may still check their incoming links…
- Seth Godin
- Dooce
- Stephen Fry
- Wife in the North
- Petite Anglaise
- Girl with a one track mind
- Daddypapersurfer
I didn’t surf today.
Who the heck is Seth Godin? Sounds foreign to me ……
Well if he answered this tag I’d introduce you. The rude bastard…
oh you stole 2 of my 7 so I had to re think (tattoos and musicals!!)Glad to say streaming mucous wasn’t wasn’t one of them .. suppose there is always a bright side of life 😉
You can share the musicals. They should be shared. The whole world needs to watch ‘Seven Brides for Seven Brothers’. At least twice.
oh yes fabulous ….also Carousel & Oklahoma 🙂
i. want. pics.
not of the nose goblins, ear hair, or (for the love of god) you watching a dancing show… oh, no…
i shiver with antici….
-Magenta
:-)…. i just might
Well send it over UDH and I’ll post it (maybe) x
I normally went for a dishevelled Riff-raff/Frankenfurter type look. With far too much hairspray and vodka applied to the creation. Very attractive in a man…
we thought so ;). Sorry all photo evidence is at squawkers residence….but am happy to disturb the little gerbil and get her to have a rummage if you want to show your friends the type of look you went fors I still have a set of dinner tails in the loft…mmmm…where are my fishnets…..
Having witnessed the original 1986 school disco robotic body-popping I can definitely picture the “rubbishness”.
I find the ear hair quite ironic.
If you’re ever in the neighbourhood, come round and we’ll watch Rocky Horror. Off, that “High Society” 🙂
Didn’t you have an afro? Or was that just in my slightly-addled brain…?
Still do.
Nice.
locally produced honey for hayever my lovely…start the day with a big tablespoon and a large slice of lemon in hot water, works for me 🙂
Huge doses of heavy duty antihistamines still doesn’t work for me (having tried all the ‘natural’ remedies). So I go for the mucous instead. It’s a charm…
You got an award: http://www.portugalsmallholding.org/2008/11/25/my-5-favourite-blogs/
Add a sprig of thyme to your honey and lemon and it’ll help get rid of the mucous too 🙂
Thankyou kindly for the award. Strange to get tagged on a post about hating tags in which I do a tag…
If memory serves me right I thought the Portuguese cold remedy was a large draught of port and brandy. Worked for me…
They have this splendidly horrific liqueur called ‘Pontes’ that they serve really hot that supposedly dissolves all trace of a cold and probably half of your brain too…
Of course there was the time I got the electric toothbrush stuck up my ……. no, no – I really can’t imagine you want me to tell that story …… or the one about when you were tad younger and I accidentally let you pee in the fruit and vegetable section of the supermarket. No, I definitely think I should keep these facts to myself ………
Probably best…
I knew I could count on you to be random and weird 🙂
