Four things meme

02/16/2006 by simoncollister Leave a Comment

I’ve been tagged by blogger Karen Bruce, who also happens to be the wife of PR Guru Stuart Bruce – he of small world shock syndrome (SWSS). This means that I am honour bound to follow suit and post potentially embarassing facts about myself. One thing worries me though: as this tag is a meme I hope I dont start meeting people at conferences who know my four favourite holiday destinations… or worse still I meet people at my top holiday destinations who have intentionally travelled there to see me. That’s too much!

Anyway:

Four jobs I’ve had:
Behind the counter in a newsagents
Charity grant administrator
British Council language assistant
Press/PR officer

Four movies I can watch over and over:
La Haine
Beverly Hills Cop 1 (for the soundtrack if nothing else!)
Doctor Zhivago
Top Gun

Four tv shows I love to watch:
Midsomer Murders
Brasseye
Time  Team (!)
Armando Iannucci’s Time Trumpet (watch out for this… Spring 2006)

Four places I’ve visited on holiday:
Malaga (actually very nice!)
Evian (for the water!)
Dublin (not for the water!)
Bologna

Four favourite dishes:
Sarah’s mexican extravaganza
Fish and chips
Bacon sandwich
Any pasta or pizza in Italy

Four places I’ve lived
Isle of Man
York
Groningen (Netherlands)
Bottomboat

Four sites I visit frequently
BBC
www.theresearchgogpop.co.uk (shameless plug)
bank/credit card (sadly)
Hotmail

Four places I’d rather be
Morocco
Reykjavik
At home
in fact…. anyway hot and sunny right now!
