4 Things

Err... I've been tagged by Ian which is a bit like a chain letter but for blogs Unfortunately, being the anti-social git that I am, I don't actually personally know anybody else with a blog to pass the "tag you're it" onto never mind another 4 people. So this branch will die with me, sorry about that. Anyhoo on with my list of "4 things".

Four jobs that I've had

Toolmaker -happy days, I was very, very good. (Norn Iron)
Production Engineer -unhappy days (England, 'nuff said)
Design Engineer -there's a possibility I'm a genius (Scotland)
R&D Technology Engineer -genius confirmed! (Scotland, lucky to have me:-)

Four movies I can watch over and over

The Godfather -a masterclass in script writing, cinematography, casting, acting, directing you name it this has it all.
As Good as It Gets -Jack Nicholson is Melvin Udal is Ricky Dee. Any woman who's pants don't fall off when told "You make me want to be a better man" is a lemon.
Excalibur -"a nal nath rack, uth vas beth hood, dock yel tren vey". For I am Arthur, the once and future King.
Pulp Fiction - sadly, Tarantino will never better it.

Four places I have lived

Donaghadee, Norn Iron, from whence I came, the place I call home.
Argyle Street, Glasgow (happy student days)
Braunchsweig, Germany (I was very, happily, drunk at the time)
Angus, Scotland (can't think of any reason that would make me leave (until I return "home" upon my death of course).

Four TV shows I like to watch

Columbo
Scrapheap Heap Challenge
The Apprentice
Fitba

Four foods that I like (before the Doctor told me I would die soon if I didn't lose the weight).

Chicken and Sweetcorn Pizza... hmmm Pizza.
Chips
Lesley's Lasange
Tunnock's Teacakes (by the box, the 10 off not the 6 off)

and after

Quiche with baked potato, loads of cottage cheese and a ton of salad
Chicken salad sandwiches (no butter, wholemeal bread)
Lesley's homemade vegetable soup
Fruit- Apples, Grapes (white seedless) Stawberries.

Four websites I visit daily

bbc.co.uk
elysiun forums
ebay
theregister

Four things I want to do before I die

Become financially independant from my mortgage bank and employer
Live a little
Outlaw all organized religion
Ensure that mankind never populates the stars (we are evil, the battle for the planet is lost, we must ensure the rest of the universe is safe from us).

Four places I would rather be right now

Thatcher's funeral (with a big smile, I hate that bitch!)
In my bed (I love my bed)
On the sofa, cuddling Bonnie and Clyde (I love my sofa, and daddy's little soldiers) and Lesley (phew)
In a cosy little house with Lesley, Bonnie and Clyde, while baby sitting Ellie, watching the telly with a take-away for tea, on my own private island in the middle of a lake with a big storm raging outside somewhere in Scotland or Norn Iron without a care in the world.
