I was tagged by Ben.

1. I am related to the Spanish Royal Family. A lot of Spaniards would need to snuff it before I was made King but I'd better get brushed up on the lingo just in case!


2. I played football for a semi-professional team when I was 18. It's taken me another 13 years to finally realise I'm not really that good!


3. I was in the RAF at school - but I only joined so I could fly planes and shoot guns.


4. On that theme, my Dad helped design part of Concorde. When I was younger I thought he'd designed and built the whole thing and used that to win a competition to have a go in a proper RAF flight simulator.


5. Still on that theme, I once shot a teacher with a pop gun. Her finger got caught by the clip that makes the cap pop. I hid under my desk and cried - I was young!


6. I used to suck my finger - way past the age when I should have relinquished the need for a pacifier. I wasn't 15 when I stopped but neither was I 5... apparently you could tell which one it was it was always clean - gross!!!


7. Once while watching Halloween I had to turn it off as I got too scared. It was the bit where Michael is walking across the street, I was watching it in the dark and it freaked me out! I was almost 30 at the time!


8. I've just quit my job and am about to go travelling for a year in South East Asia and Central & South America.

Time to tag a few people - either on your blogs, on facebook or as comments here if you wish... Alistair, Cathy, Asa, The Creators, Heather, Dara, Jane, The Outlaws.
