The Tagging Monster got me.

I completely missed all this tagging lark going on over Christmas. When I checked my email I had a you’ve been tagged’ message but I marked it as spam (sorry Robyn of sleepyblogger.com.) Then Matt Propst told me I’d been tagged by Kevin Tofel. I better return the favor, even though I’m probably the last blogger in the world to do it!

• I was a part-time Fireman for British Telecom at their research labs in Ipswich, UK. One day we had to remove a leaking Phosphine tank (so toxic that you wouldn’t live to get a second breath of it apparently.) from a semiconductor test lab. Not as much fun as the rest of it was.
• I have a long Internet history. I used to admin a full Usenet feed over a 9600 baud link. That included all the alt.binaries branches. I checked them regularly! My first (recorded) Usenet post was in Aug 1989 at which point I was on my 3rd email address.
• I lived in Dublin, Ireland for 4 months and had one of the best times of my life. I cried when I drove away from my apartment to catch the final ferry home. When I got back home I had a digestion problem caused by drinking too much Guinness. I still have an affinity for the black stuff but fortunately it never tastes as good outside Ireland.
• I have an ambition to play the drums in a band. I bought a set two months before Carrypad started and haven’t used them since then!
• I have had a crush on Kim Wilde since I was about 13.

My chosen people for tagging are:

Robin Anne Peters. www.robinannpeters.com.

My Wife. www.power-balance.com. Lets cross over into German!

JKKMobile. He’s a bit like The Stig from Top Gear. He does some very cool stuff but never says anything much on his blog.

I’d also like to tag Kim Wilde if possible!

Steve.
