Apparently, I’ve been tagged by Ryan. Which means that I really should do the meme. But it’s a variation of a meme I did a few months ago, so I think I’ll do the lazy efficient thing, and merge the answers from last time into it.

So: the 7 things meme. Redux. With the original answers deleted if they’re no longer relevant.

7 Things I Want To Do Before I Die

1. Learn a foreign language, properly.
2. Make something that I can look at and go “I don’t think I could ever improve on that”.
3. Become a father. Not for some time yet, mind.
4. Teach something important to someone important. Who or what is to be decided.
5. Be the Go To Guy for some major black helicopter organisation.
6. To look around at what I have, and say “This is Enough”.
7. Fly (solo) a Hurricane from Alaska to Africa.
   Proper circuit racing.

7 Things That I Cannot Do

1. Accept things that I cannot change.
2. Let It All Out.
3. Understand people who don’t care about ID cards.
4. Understand why people who are otherwise intelligent can believe politicians.
5. Get my head round a lot of things.
6. Understand why people aren’t interested in the world around them.
7. See the point of Oasis. Why were they popular?

7 Things That Attract Me To The Opposite Sex

1. A smile.
2. A sense of humour.
3. Freckles. In moderation, I’m not looking for the female equivalent of me.
4. Sarcasm. In moderation, I’m not looking for the female equivalent of me.
5. The realisation that me liking to be on my own sometimes isn’t a sign that I’m pissed off.
6. Nice eyes.
7. Who am I kidding? T&A. Even if you just call it curves. That’s nothing but a cop-out, and you know it. Non-dwarfage is also good.

7 Things That I Say Most Often

1. Fuck no.
2. 
   Sign the No2ID pledge!
3. And sure did you see…
4. Aye, but…
5. Which part of “You’re not comming in” was it that you didn’t understand?
6. FUUUCCCKKK OOOOOFFFFF!
7. Now you’re getting mad at me for things that you said I said but I never, actually, said. (This one’s a recent addition)
   So, you’re now annoyed because I did nothing wrong and didn’t tell you that I did the aforementioned nothing wrong. Which I was under no obligation to tell you because we’re not going out anymore. Just because you want to share all the details of your life with everyone doesn’t mean I do. (This one’s a recent addition)

Seven Books That I Love

1. All 30+ Pratchett works
2. All the Clancys before Red Rabbit
3. Larry Bond- Cauldron
4. Ian Fleming- Moonraker
5. Harry Turtledove- Ruled Brittania
6. Yes Minister: The Scripts
7. The book by the fella who started Viz (and the name of whom I can’t remember)

Seven Movies That I?ve Loved (in no order)

1. The Lord of the Rings
2. The Great Escape
3. Old School
4. Happy Gilmore
5. It’s a Wonderful Life
6. We Were Soldiers
7. Mad Max I & II (we do not speak of III)

So, there you have it. Not being one for the whole ‘tagging’ thing, I’ll perform what should be called a ‘Nelly':

I ain?t tagging anyone. But feel free to tag yourself if you feel like it.
