After two marathons I fell out of love with running, I basically got bored. I was encouraged to enter the London Triathlon Sprint and have started enjoying training once again. Stairs at work have become a struggle once more.

Stupid Girl Crap

Amber, Kay's friend in Oregon, USA has tagged me on her blog. To us English normies not up on blog jargon it's some computerised chain letter bobbins and Kay is making me do it so here goes:

Leah
Amy
Amber
Amber Lee
Ed

(I dunno the purpose of this bit, it just said to do it. Perhaps the magic is lost without it? Who can say?)

Now I'm supposed to 'tag' 5 people ('tag' means spray painting some scribble where I come from. Or nicking the badge off a BMW)

errr, Phil (I don't seriouly expect you to do this girl stuff)

Ok, seems I only have one friend.

Now I have to answer some pink questions about girl stuff:
1.What were you doing 10 years ago?
Hmmm, Do you really want to know what a 15 year old boy was doing?

2.What were you doing 1 year ago?
Moving in with Kay. Spending too much time in the lab, and planning our trip to Australia. Tough Guy 2005.

3.Five snacks you enjoy:
Home made salsa and tortilla chips. Wine Gums (OMG! ask me for details - Kay).
Pickled onion flavoured Transform-a-Snax AND spearmint Extra Strong Mints together (it tastes like mint sauce!)
Pickled red cabbage. Scooby snacks.

4.Five songs to which you know ALL the lyrics: Errr, Kay knows all the words to lots of opera songs : (
Any song that's been featured in The Simpsons.
The Kia-Ora advert (I'll be your dog - that one) and the Um-Bongo advert (Nuff respect to tv.cream.org for the Kia-Ora one)
Laid - James
Lithium - Nirvana
Scooby Snacks- Fun Lovin' Criminals

5.Five things you would do if you were a millionaire:
Buy the art of the most recent Turner prize winner and grind it into sand.
Buy Kay more shoes so she can realise her dream of supplying Foot Locker
Supply science funding grants for the creation of a Drosophila/wasp hybrid to annoy my enemys with. Aaaah the mighty Drosophowasp!
Publish 'Heat' magazine style photos of the skanky biffers wot write it
Start a weasel sanctuary

6.Five bad habits:
N/A

7.Five things you like doing:
Running
Writing stupid stuff on my blog
Science
Cooking
Kay

8.Five things you would never wear, buy, or get again:
Adidas popper pants
Adsa micropore tape (we complained and got £4 back - Result!)
Cheap batteries
Non energy saving lightbulbs
Chicken pox

9.Five favorite toys:
New running watch, Kay's iBook, the Internet, Nintendo DS, Kay (in that order)

OK, end of all enlightening dooby. Searching for the Kia-Ora song we happened upon this website which made Kay get asthmatic we were laughing so hard. Americans - you might not get it, not to worry eh?

nice answers, but I so did not get that site, must be because I'm an American. Though I thought the Dony Danza stuff was pretty good.

Fasteners down the side. Ooops, I've only sworn about 3 times since I started posting and when I do it in the title my mum reads it! Bum.

Sorry - I must strongly state having re-read my comment that I was not implying in any way shape or form that Luisa is a totally completely and really old looser! I just meant I was/am - Oh. I'll get me coat

I had trouble finding an auction for these that wasn't someone selling their "worn" (and presumably unwashed) garments in a "private auction". No wonder ed was keen to steer clear of them!

Not sure you should worry too much about the swearing if your Mum reads this Ed, more the fact that you describing one of the things you like doing most as Kay! A bit worse still if one of Kay's nearest and dearest reads it.

re: the weasel sanctuary. You could employ nimble fingered people (possibly children) to massage their tiny weasel ears.
