5 things…

Report.

Theres a tagging chain letter going round. Someone writes 5 things you might not know about them, and passes it on to 5 friends with blogs by tagging them.

A meme.

I got tagged. And if i’m to play the game, I need to respond to Dom and Nico with five things you might not know about me.

1. I was Tyne & Wear Table Tennis champion 1991-1993.
My nemesis was a girl called Sam Goldberg, who was a dangerous cheater and had a nervous twitch that involved sliding her gold earring in and out of her ear.

2. I used to have my tongue pierced.
It lasted around 8 months.I finally took it out because it got boring and wasn’t appreciated by the opposite sex.

3. I have an eyebrow scar.
When I was about 2 years old, in a spanish restaurant I sat, food all around my face. I started clambering out of my highchair, reached towards my dad, who, seeing the mess I was in, stepped away… Spanish tiled floor - my face.

4. I was almost lost as a child.
This involved ‘hide and seek’ with my dad at the Quayside in Newcastle, a police search, and the dredging of the river Tyne.

I was eventually found playing happily with two kids at an indian wedding.

5. I am genetically my father’s daughter, and my uncle’s daughter.
Work that one out.

And thus having completed my task, I pass the gauntlet to:
1. James
2. Mamma-muu
3. Maria
4. Toby - a pictorial response?
