What’s the Point of this Meme?
I have been awoken from my blogging hibernation by Leg-iron who has tagged me with the meme: Eight Pointless Things About Me…
1. The only time I have ever done the National Lottery was the first ever one. The six numbers I picked were so far away from the numbers drawn that I decided not to bother again.
2. I am a major boycotter. I haven’t shopped in our local Tesco’s for nearly four years for various reasons including their refusal to no longer cooperate with the local charity that delivers food for old and disabled people throughout the county. Nestlé is another one.
3. I have grown a beard twice in my life.
4. When I doodle, I draw maps.
5. 16 months ago I agreed to look after two dogs for a friend until she found suitable accommodation. I still have them.
6. I am finding this meme more difficult than I thought it would be.
7. My first pin-up was Romanian gymnast, Nadia Comaneci.
8. I have a giant inflatable banana in my office. It’s amazing how few people notice it or pretend not to notice it.
I’ll tag Tom Harris MP, Councillor Terry Kelly and UKIP blog.

Good to see you up and running again with the blog Stewart. Grew a beard twice eh? Man, you’re my (five o’clock) shadow. First Red Dwarf and now this. I too have grown a beard (or ’stopped shaving’ as I think of it) twice in my life. Once in 1976 and once in 1978. Mind you, I last shaved in 1978. It could be anybody under there now. I don’t want to know.
Thanks for that, Jim. It’s great not having to shave. A beard means that one of life’s great miseries is dealt a serious blow. Just a quick trim needed once a week, or once a fortnight if you’re as lazy as I am.
