Another bloody meme

Er, I mean another fascinating probe of my psyche in meme form. Kathryn has charged me with listing eight interesting factlets about myself. I've been thinking about this for two days now... Never mind, here goes:

  1. I am a descendent of Rob Roy courtesy of my maternal grandfather (who was Scottish). I have never actually seen any proof of this but I have been assured that somebody in my granfather's family did trace the family tree back to Mr. Roy. However, I doubt that I am related in any way to Liam Neeson.
  2. When I was two years old I had an operation to correct a squint in my left eye. Or was it my right? No matter: this means that I can go cross-eyed in just one eye... although, technically that would mean that I wasn't going cross-eyed but... oh, you get the point.
  3. I once met Jimmy McGovern (he of Cracker fame) at a creative writing class. It was the one week when I had suffered writer's block and had been unable to produce anything worthwhile, thus I blew my chance to impress one of Britain's most esteemed writers for television. Bollocks.
  4. When I was five years old I shut my bollocks in a drawer.
  5. I had an orchiectomy when I was fifteen and now have only one testicle.
  6. My friend's dad was bullied at school by Robert Plant so my friend's dad's best mate beat up Robert Plant. This fact isn't really about me at all but I'm struggling here, OK?
  7. Fuck it, I'm just not that interesting...
I should now tag some other poor bastards with this thing but, frankly, I'm too depressed about how boring I am and can't be arsed.
