I have been tagged by 'La Petite' to reveal five things about myself not previously mentioned in this blog. After the initial panic that I might be so shallow that I would not be able to come up with five things that are remotely interesting-and I'm still not sure on this point-I humbly submit the following. However, I reserve the right to expand on some or all of these in later posts.
1) I have been vasectomised. Twice. The first time didn't work properly and there was still some of my genetic material bursting to get out and fertilize the world's women, so they had to take a 'second bite at the cherry' so to speak. They put me under and fixed me good. Apart from that I have managed to avoid major surgery; Apart from a few wisdom teeth I am intact, right down to my foreskin.
2) I ought to have been left-handed but was forced to change when I started school. As a result I am a proper mess: At cricket I bat and bowl left-handed but am equally useless at tennis with either hand. I shoot right-handed but am left-handed for archery. If I were ever to punch someone it would be 'southpaw'. I hold a hammer in my left hand, but a saw in my right.
I can only use my right hand to masturbate myself, but can please Heather with either hand.
3) I am the dunce of my family. My father and brother both have PhDs and my sister is a barrister.
4) When I get some time to spare I am going to take flying lessons. When we retire we're going to buy a narrowboat and spend half of each year cruising the canals of England.
5) I have no sense of distance or of how much an item might weigh. On the other hand I have such a good sense of time that I can normally estimate the time of day to within about 5 minutes. I have a very good sense of direction. I only have to go to a place once and I will be able to find it again, perhaps years later. I have a phenomenally acute sense of smell. I wear glasses most of the time but if you were really close I would take them off and would be able to see every pore in your skin. I don't go much for luxury goods but I insist on the very best quality in glasses and wristwatches (even though I don't need one!). The most expensive items I am wearing right now are my glasses and my wristwatch.
Now the difficult bit. Who to tag? Looking around it seems that most of the people I read regularly either prefer not to take part in tagging (which I absolutely respect) or have done this or something similar quite recently. So, dear reader, I throw it open. If you've read this far then consider yourself tagged!

I would love a narrow boat holiday..... one day maybe
Re narrow boat: I hope you mean the canals of England and WALES. If you haven't crossed the Froncysyllte aquaduct you haven't lived.
Lady...: Go mob-handed with a bunch of good friends. Whenever we go we try to cut ourselves off from the outside word, the challenge being to see if you can completely miss a major item of world news.
Alfie: My humblest apologies. I have actually walked across the aqueduct from Trefor to Froncysllte in the pitch black and in a state of intoxication. I have moored up at Llangollen during Eisteddfod week, to the sound of 20-odd massed male-voice choirs.
