5 Things

Well, here goes. I've been tagged (3 times now, by Jon, rich and joe) so it is finally time to reveal to all 5 things you probably didn't know about me. Once I've done that, I get to tag 5 more people to do the same thing, and so the chain continues.

The 5 Things

Some of these might be interesting, but others may appeal to only select readers, and others may just be plain boring - you have been warned.

1. When I was 2, I got run over, in an attempt to join kids playing with a football across the road. I have not liked the game since! I still have a little bald patch hidden away as a reminder.
2. I started fiddling with HTML some time between 1996 and 1998, and had my first web page you could actually look at from the internet proper in my Warwick Uni days. Back in those days, I was into frames as the way to do websites, there was no point to any of the pages, and it all looked pretty awful.
3. I was apparently dreadful at maths in primary school, but turned out to be one of the better maths students at school by GCSEs. I didn't go on to study maths at uni, but did at least do a subject that used plenty of it.
4. In middle school I won a competition for best dressed clown during comic relief. My reward was to be the subject of my fellow students' clown portraits in art class.
5. When I was still a soprano, I was one of only 2 selected from my school to be in the massed choir for Songs of Praise Carols at Warwick Castle. There was a camera pointing at me at one stage, but they cut out many of the carols from the show, so in the end I didn't appear on the TV.

The 5 People

who are probably in order of recent blog activity, rather than any special order for this list. In an act of last minute rebelion, I'm adding a sixth person, who I just remembered has a blog.

1. Tom di Giovanni, who seems to have many interesting things to say.
2. Gary Evans, who hasn't made a post for far too long.
3. Steve Bowman, who's blog is almost empty so far.
4. Peter Hall, who also hasn't surfaced for quite a long time.
5. Rob Lockyer, who definitely reads this and many other blogs, yet still fails to leave any comments.
6. Adam Dobbs, who's Live Space title, Hilbert, may be of interest to the mathematically inclined.

Money Saving

Today I have save £7.49 by buying CDs and DVDs in shops rather than via the internet.
