Lisa Sabin-Wilson was kind enough to hit me with a tag for the "
8 Things You Don't Know About Me" meme, and in my usual fashion I have failed to get it done when I said I would. Sorry.
Now, in rectification:
- Family. I am a middle child, but my younger brother was killed in a road accident when he was 6 (I was 9). My older sister has 4 children (1 boy, 3 girls). Parents divorced, Father deceased. 1 surviving Grandparent.
- Alcohol. I like Guinness. It's an acquired taste, I know, but one worth acquiring. It took me to the age of 3 to really get a taste for it. Real Ales, Whisk(e)y and Wine are also acceptable forms of imbibing.
- Food. I am generally Vegetarian, but not based on any principle, I just never really liked meats. I like to eat Italian, garlic is one of the greatest tastes to exist. Indian food is fine too. I will eat some white meats on occasion for the convenience of others.
- Work. I am self-employed working mainly as a commercial window cleaner, though I do some domestic work on occasion. Though never my own, of course! ;-)
- Fun. I love movies, mostly on DVD these days since vandals burnt down the local cinema. I don't watch TV, though I do watch some shows on video/DVD that catch my attention. Or the wife makes me watch. I also love reading, Jane Austen being my favourite. I like Fyodor Dostoevsky too, but I am not all 'high-brow', Sci-Fi and Detective novels are my staple. I am not much of an outdoor person, I have enough of that while working.
- Pets. We have Joey Cat, which is my wifes first pet as she never had one while growing up. I have had all the usual suspects: canary, Guinea Pigs, tortoise, goldfish, dogs and another cat.
- Religion/Politics. Yes/No. I find religion fascinating and politics boring, except wherein the two interact throughout history in forming each other.
- General Life Philosophy. To try and leave things better than when I found them. Success and ambition play no real part in my life or desires, which is probably why I am usually very happy and content and have very little stress in my life.
In the time honoured tradition of the meme I am now required to tag some others, so I will nominate

I’m with ya on Guinness, I couldn’t drink it if it were free.
I guess I am just to new to blogging to know about this meme thing, but this is the second one I have come across in the last few days. This is a great idea…I will post one on my blog.
Its an interesting way of narrating the article like this.
Stevie compared with everybody from his family members to general life. From this, I too want to narrate like this too.
I like Black and Tan’s. Do you know if that has to be made with Guinness to be authentic? You are interesting. Enjoyed your post.
Thanks for coming by michele, it’s always nice to see a fellow Plurker over here! Sent you a “Friend” request, hope you don’t mind
I like the life philosophy!
