Firstly a big thanks to Dave Child for the cookie, hopefully it was oatmeal and raisan! For those of you going “huh?”, I have been blog tagged, a game started by Jeff Pulver which seems to be spreading quite quickly. The object of the game is to reveal 5 things about you, which most readers probably don’t know, then nominate 5 friends to do the same. If they don’t reply within 48 hours, then they will loose 5 fingers in a horrible goat-related accident. (Okay, that last sentence was a lie).

1. One Christmas, at university, I painted myself green and dressed up as the Grinch.Unfortunately I don’t have any photo’s handy at the moment (when I get home I shall have a dig around on my other computer), so for now, enjoy this lovely picture of one of my best friends. Grinch picture located!

   

2. I’ve actually been an extra on the Catherine Cookson TV Drama, The Rag Nymph. I was 14 at the time, and got the day off from school. If you happen to have the DVD at home, I’m the delivery boy in the last scene who takes the bread from the woman from Byker Grove, puts it onto the cart and pushes it down the street.Extra work was fun, in that you get paid alright for doing very little, though it did have the tendancy to get repetitive. If any casting directors are reading, I’m looking for an opportunity to move on to a more challenging role - drop me an email and we’ll see what we can do! Available for anything from Mr Muscle commercials to love scenes with Scarlett Johansson.
3. Earlier this year I bought myself a lovely new Macbook, making the switch from Windows. I haven’t looked back.
4. One of my favourite jobs was when I worked at Klute nightclub in Durham. A place that can only be described as a garden shed packed with people dancing to really cheesy music. Working there, I learned to appreciate 80’s cheese!It was voted 2nd Worst Nightclub in Europe by FHM Magazine. The worst nightclub, in Germany, burnt down so I like to think we inherited the title!
5. I’m looking to maybe move over to the USA in 2007, fingers crossed on that one!
