I’ve been blog tagged by Scott Pack over at Me and My Big Mouth. To play, I have to list six random facts about myself and then tag six of you to do the same. So here goes.

1. I nearly once killed the family dog by tying its lead to the collar of a caravan propane cylinder. When I next saw it, the animal was trying to escape from a high-pressured gas hose whilst tied to a huge iron canister. The next year I left it outside the local shop for six hours. It didn’t like me very much.
2. By the age of 15, I had lived in two houses in Leicester, one in Lincoln, and ten houses in Stamford, Lincolnshire. Five of the latter were council houses. I don’t remember any house with affection, but I know and love the latter town intimately (even if it was a phenomenally boring place to be a teenager).
3. I was confirmed as a Roman Catholic at the age of 12. I took the confirmation name of “Francis” after St Francis of Assisi; but only after I’d bottled out of taking the name “Maximilian” after Maximilian Kolbe. Kolbe was a Franciscan and a great admirer of St Francis. That’s why I chose that name. I am now a very lapsed Catholic, but I admire both men greatly.
4. My son has just vomited all over his mother.
5. I am listed in Debrett’s. It is considered extremely bad form to mention this fact, but it is one that has the power to irritate a lot of people.

So, there you go. Now I have to nominate six of you. I choose:

• Bill
• Dave
• Katy
• Lord Giltwood
• Annie
• Rivergirlie

Sorry if you’ve had to do this before. If you decide to play, you need to:

• Link to the person that tagged you - i.e. me.
• Post the rules on your blog.
• Write six random things about you in a blog post.
• Tag six people in your post.
• Let each person know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
• Let the tagger know your entry is up.

Oh, and my sixth fact? I once played tiddlywinks for my university. Badly.

I’ve just found this excellent meme at No Smoking in the Skull Cave. What you have to do is this…

1. Go to photobucket.com
2. Type in your answer for each question into the PhotoBucket search bar.
3. Choose your favorite photo to represent your answer.
4. Copy the html and paste it here.
5. Answer only in picture form.

I’ll also nominate all readers with blogs to have a go themselves.

Anyway, here goes:

1. What is your first name?
