Six Not Very Extraordinary Things About Me

A meme to keep things ticking over. I found it at The Pickards.

I have only ever asked for two autographs in my life. Beatle Paul McCartney and poet Roger McGough – a Liverpool connection although I’ve only just realised this. Both signed without complaint, although apparently the ex-Beatle now refuses to sign them.
Although I’m a big fan of the 1963 film Zulu, I much prefer Zulu Dawn, the 1979 prequel. Who can turn their noses up at a film starring Burt Lancaster, Peter O’Toole, Bob Hoskins and Phil Daniels?
There are very strict rules on time keeping where I work. Lunch is always at noon, and afternoon tea is at two thirty sharp. Someone (rashly, in my mind) called tea at two twenty today and I was thrown into turmoil.
I hurt my back at the weekend by foolishly carrying a heavy box. Ironically, the box contained an exercise bike.
The most listened to song on my iPod is This Old Town by Paul Weller and Graham Coxon. However I have recently been rediscovering 80s indie music, including bands such as Wire and Felt (who I’m listening to right now).
The nearest book I can see from here is a freebie by children’s author Geraldine McCaughrean featuring extracts from five of her stories.
