Have been nominated for this award by the kind misguided gentlemen G over at http://www.bar-science.com/ (a very good blog, one of the best posts that I've ever read is there, all about man laws can be found here http://www.bar-science.com/2011/02/matchstick-puzzle.html )
Well the rules are you have to share 10 things about yourself and pass the award on to another blogger, now Ray Rousell from Don't throw a 1 http://onelover-ray.blogspot.com/ emailed me last night and said if I didn't nominate him he wouldn't give me a lift to Salute tomorrow morning ( I even gave this man a job and he still hasn't thanked me, he has no shame). There are far better blogs out there and you know who you are but I need to go to Salute tomorrow:D
These are the ones I could actually put in print.
1. I don't drive and never have, probably never will.
2. I am afraid of heights.
3. I am not ginger.
4. I have a clause in my relationship that says if Pamela Anderson knocks on my door I can give her the best 10 seconds of her life.
5. I have cleaned and prepared hundreds of dead people before their journey to the morgue while working in a hospital.
6. Need to eat a potato based product once a day at least.
7. Have been threatened with guns, knives and syringes and other forms of bodily harm more times than I care to remember.
8. A ring from my finger was used by the actor Brendan Gleeson as a prop on the movie set of Spaghetti Slow because props needed one that looked like mine, I was a security guard on the the movie set.
9. Run over by a bus not once but twice.
10. I hold a grudge worse than a sicilian or an Irishman.
Thanks very much.
Now only 10 seconds iai sincerely Pamela Anderson provide two hours of happiness...;))
ReplyDeleteLol that was interesting thanks for sharing mate
ReplyDeletewow, congrats and that is some amazing info!
ReplyDeleteA God, coming down to earth to console us! :-)
ReplyDeleteHilarious mate!
Well done!
T.
Lurker, you are one colorful dude. Congrats on the award!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Angry and thanks for sharing, a great insight into a blogging legend.
ReplyDeleteA Bus? Twice?
Slowing down a little Fran, come on man, move your arse! ;)
hahaha good job with that one
ReplyDeleteInteresting to know so many things about you
ReplyDeleteWhere you run over twice on the same day?!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! That is an honor!
ReplyDeleteRorschach: Yes, the same bus.
ReplyDelete10 seconds with pamela? and you need 5 sec to get your pants of? :D
ReplyDeleteG is a great blogger and to get an award from him is a great honor! Congrats! :D
ReplyDeleteThe same bus? Don't tell me...it reversed?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info
ReplyDeleteCongrats and nice interesting list.
ReplyDeleteCheers
Christopher
Congratulations on the award... and for not being ginger!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to you, you deserve it :D
ReplyDeleteWas Ray on the buses? Is that how he got the job?
ReplyDeleteGreat list of factoids. We get a good picture, imagine cupboards full of Smash and now know we should never ever do anything to upset you.
Well done, Fran. Thoroughly deserved in my opinion. Good to hear that you don't drive either. I'm not alone after all!
ReplyDeleteI think since you got hit/run over by a bus two times that you should buy a lottery ticket. Or two.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the award.
Congrats man! Well-deserved
ReplyDeleteCongrats man, kudos on the Pam Anderson clause - can I have you lawyers name.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Sausage...
you wat
ReplyDeleteIs saying you´re not ginger the same as saying your not tumeric? Crap joke but it is the end of the week.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the award mate
Cheers
paul
This was a great post. Enjoyed reading more about you and, I am the same when it comes to potatoes and things made with them. Best food.
ReplyDeleteTwo times the same bus? I was going to ask the same thing Porky did. Was Ray driving?
What is a Salute for tomorrow?
Much congrats on an award. It's perfect for you and well deserved. Very cool.
After picturing you shoveling down potatoes, getting run over by a bus, being threatened with guns, and having your way with Pam Anderson... I am in permanent envy of your manliness. Jesus.
ReplyDeleteThe tragedy is Ray did not need to make a political power play when his Blog is already well-loved in his own write.
ReplyDeleteThe best outcome would be to catch another pic of him at a convention scratchin his butt like the SELWG one last October, to add to the collection for which he is justly infamous, although at that other one he had 'sex' coming out his ears.
I've got to go do gut relaxations as number seven brought out my ptsd's. I'll match you on the syringe full of AIDS threat and raise you this: I saw her topless before she fell on her keister. Still do, now. The cop with me said where'd you find this one and stuck her shirt back on backwards on like a straitjacket, I had the right arm, and he seemed to take it worse till the ambulance people came and were even more put out than he was, you know like holy crap where'd you find this one. Then he could laugh at them and point at me.
These bloody icebreakers do their thing and think it's all good and often it is, I never knew so much about the first Commenter as it brought out more personality than before, but who knows what evil lurks upstream behind the icebergs. After enough of it no wonder our faces fall halfway off, but it does add character. Congratulations on the award and this Blog will get more.
@Whisk: A Salute is one of the largest war-games shows in England.
ReplyDeleteCheers! As I continue to read blogs, I inadvertently follow the path of this award, as it keeps moving on to others I already follow.
ReplyDeleteLove it.
congrats!! your blog is amazing ;D
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed for a win.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the award Fran!
ReplyDelete10 seconds? Is that the time she knocks on your door?
Greetings
Peter
Congratz!
ReplyDeleteAlright congratulations
ReplyDeletegrats
ReplyDeleteStill curious about the being run-over thing.
ReplyDeleteCongrats man. Those are some neat facts. How'd you manage to get run over twice? Look both ways, man.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Definitely well deserved and I hope you win. Would say more but I keep thinking of Pam...
ReplyDeleteI have no doubt that you will win this award, you have a very unique and well written as well as well designed blog. I really think your readership would love to know the stories behind getting run over a bus twice. It sounds to me that you have unwittingly played the role of reluctant warrior in your time as well.
ReplyDeleteI hope you guys have a fantastic time at Salute tomorrow. I wonder if anyone's still plays the old Starfleet Battles game anymore. It would be cool to know if there was a kiosk set up at the convention tomorrow for it.
Congratulations on the award..... Would love to go to Salute but it is a bit far away for me. Maybe one day.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the great work and watch out for buses.
Good stuff. Some of my miniatures made it into a movie a few years ago but it was so bad I can't even remember what the heck it was called.
ReplyDeleteHaha, great idea! Might do something similar once I get some more free time!
ReplyDeletenice things you shared, hehe, i liked the one with pamela anderson
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the award and quite the amusing list.
ReplyDeleteLove the "MAN LAW"...Its good to know I am not completely alone.
ReplyDeletecongratz.
Just when I thought you couldnt get any fucking cooler! lmfao man you are fucking wild! Congrats on the award!!! Can we pawn it and get some cash for it? Hook a sista up dammit!!
ReplyDeletelol what!? u dont drive? thats unheard of. i personally could not live life without dirving
ReplyDeleteyou should make a movie. The story of a security guard hardened by his continual exposure to death. Constantly threatened and pissed off. "Hit by a bus" Coming soon.
ReplyDeletecongratulations pal
ReplyDeletecool 10 things bro congrats also i would most definitely agree with you taking the win as i also love this blog
ReplyDeleteI hope you had fun at the Salute.
ReplyDeleteTut!! bighead!! I wish I was driving the bloody bus! I wouldn't have needed a second time!
ReplyDelete>I was ran over twice
ReplyDelete>I hold a grudge
