I got tagged by at least 2 people, and it's this or reading up on client acceptance procedures:

1. I have only a general idea what colour my hair really is.
2. I was born in Hitchin.
3. If money were no object, I’d drive a DB9.
4. If petrol and availability were no object, I’d drive a Dodge Charger.
5. As it is, I’d settle for a Mark I (original & best) or Mark II (from the year I was born) Ford Capri.
6. I had a crush on Brian May until he married Anita Dobson.
7. My middle name’s Louise. I’m a real life J Lo.
8. I can get recognisable tunes out of any recorder, bassoons, Bflat clarinets, guitars (bass and 6 string) and violins. I’m actually pretty good at playing some of those.
9. I quite often mix up left & right.
10. I passed my full motorbike test, but didn’t get the pass certificate processed. If I wanted to get a bike now, I’d have to retake it.
11. I can stand on one leg, with my eyes closed & not holding onto anything, for at least 5 minutes (then I got bored).
12. I have a younger sister who lives in South London with her husband & a collection of cookbooks.
13. I’m shorter than both my parents.
14. I don’t feel comfortable if I’m not wearing *something* black.
15. I enjoyed seeing the Spice Girls in concert.
16. I cry at Born Free & its sequels.
17. The thought of spelunking scares me.
18. So does the thought of programming / coding / whatever it’s called these days. I might not be able to do it.
19. I’d have plastic surgery if I could afford it. Why diet when surgery’s quicker & less work?
20. I really want a career that interests me, but I’d give it all up to be a lady of leisure who does Good Things for charity in between trips to the gym and shopping.

Go on then,

"6. I had a crush on Brian May until he married Anita Dobson."

Snap. Actually snap on 1, 3, 11, 13, 14, 19 and 20 too

* be's freaked *

Gosh. Hello, me :)

Oooh, have you seen James May's column this week?

The sexy bike-riding one? Oh yes

* goes comatose with lust *

"Naked muscle is the way forward". Ohhhh, yes ;)

Not to mention moulding of leather-clad torsos and baboon-like desries to mount...

* flail *

I should have stopped reading a lot earlier...
*disturbed*

See? He started it!

Bits like "but the Yamaha's delivery is creamier" still disturb me...

LOL don't worry hon, you'll have to be a LOT more disturbed than that before you get to be as disturbed as me

* sage nodding *

I'll take your word for it. ;o)

9. I quite often mix up left & right.
Heh.
Good thing you're not a driving instructor.

For 4 & 5 alone, I want to have your babies.

For 18, if you can write a clear set of directions from location A to location B, you're 50% of the way to being a good programmer.

For 19, bear in mind that if you have fatty tissue removed (which seems to be what you're suggesting) then you just put on the weight whereever you didn't have it removed. Or so my learned colleague Mr TV tells me.

For 20, wouldn't we all, modulo some gender-realignment of the leisure activities?

13. I’m shorter than both my parents.

This happened to me as well, very unfair

I'm just a tick shorter than my dad but thankfully taller than my mum, who's shorter than 1.55m.
My uncle (dad's brother) is a freak of nature in the family. Nobody else is or was 1.80...
