So, Jesper tagged me with this "five things you don't know about me" business. The tricky thing is, I suspect most of the replies are "five things you don't know about me and probably don't want to know". I had seen this meme circulating and had rather hoped I'd manage to dodge it, but it seems not. Thanks Jesper. So, here goes:

1. In the spirit of Jesper's post, I thought I'd start with this one. While I was a Computer Science student, I to had dreadlocks. I have photos to prove it, and those photos will probably never see the light of day. However, those of you who've seen me now will understand the moral of this story. Be good to your hair, or it will leave you.

2. I travel a lot for work, and on almost every trip I take a guitar with me. The one I travel with is a black Steinberger six string...ugly as sin but compact, has a full size fretboard and a beautiful action. I played in various bands during university, but nowadays I mostly play to relax. I have 4 or 5 others at home, much to the chagrin of my wife. After all, how many guitars does one person need? Well, all guitarists can tell you the answer to that question: One more, just one more!

3. Again back to my student days. During university I had many part-time jobs. The one that I stuck to longest was as a taxi driver. I mostly drove on Friday and Saturday nights, so I saw some VERY interesting things. Buy me a drink and I'll tell you some stories guaranteed to make you laugh, gasp, cringe and feel sick, often all at the same time. Some of them will even be true.

4. I'm a classic car nut. I've owned and restored a couple of classics over the years, but currently I'm lusting after one of the following, probably in this order:

- AC Greyhound photo photo
- MkII Jaguar photo
- Karmann Ghia photo

One day, one day....

5. I know you all think I'm a bit of a tough guy (what do you mean "No"?), but a sad movie will have me in tears in moments. My wife is used to it now and just rolls her eyes and pretends she doesn't know me. My most embarrassing incident was on a flight from Shanghai to Tokyo, watching an awesome samurai movie called "When the Last Sword is Drawn". At the end of the movie I was crying so much that three different cabin attendants asked me if everything was alright. I've since bought the film, and even though I've watched it probably half a dozen times, I still cry like a baby. I like to think it means I'm well adusted and in touch with my feelings. Most other people just think I'm a sook.

Now it's my turn to inflict this pain on someone else. Hmmm, do I even know 5 bloggers who haven't already been tagged with this? Here goes: Guy Smith Ferrier, Brian Long, Chee Wee, Tim Jarvis, Richard Vowles
