5 Things, That's The Meme, That Meme Again, It's 5 Things

16 JAN

Argh, dammit. It’s 2.15am and I should be sleeping but instead I find myself drawn into this ‘5 Things You Might Not Know About Me’ meme thingy by Pub Standards overlord, Mr Darlow. I’ll try to make this brief and as none-boring as possible.

5 Things You Might Not Know About Me

1. When I was about 5 I got bitten by a dog at nursery school. It gave me an infection that very nearly paralised me (or so my mum says).
2. Back in the day I was a rapper and Drum ‘n’ Bass MC. The band I was in was successful(ish). We got on TV, made a few records and supported some big bands. Most of the members went on to be in Simian.
3. I won a drawing competition in primary school that I didn’t even enter. It was someone else’s picture but I just took the credit (and the prize) regardless. Evil.
4. In university a friend at the time hired some thugs to do a drive-by shooting on some gangsters. Harsh, eh? That’s not something about me is it? Oh well. I’ve no idea where that friend is now.
5. I’ve met Ozzy Osborne, Ice-T and, erm…Lauren Laverne.

And for the bonus: I’ve never voted in any kind of election. I’ve traditionallly been pretty disallusioned with politicians but I’ve been reading loads of Noam recently and I’m getting politicked up so this might change. God knows who I’ll vote for though, they are all arseholes.

Tagging some of the JavaScript Mafia and some London Rails peeps:

1. Dustin Diaz
2. Justin Palmer
3. James Adam
4. Damien Tanner
5. James Darling

To those I’ve tagged, I apologise. Don’t feel obliged to carry this plague on.

And finally, if you are in London on thursday, Pub Standards beckons. Partake of the Fat Man In A Box and be merry.
