Four My People
Meme’s are wonderful things. Everyone loves to hate them but everyone also feels the need to join in so they don’t feel left out. Now that we’re living in a blogging world where everyone is a writer and think that other people are actually interested, they are becoming even more of a nuisance.
Every morning, I check my favourite RSS aggregator. Lately, I’ve been noticing many of the Brit Pack and other Big Names of the Web getting tagged by the latest “Four Things” meme and I thanked my lucky stars that I am still an unknown entity in the great big World Wide Web. Unfortunately, it didn’t last long. Paul decided it would be good fun to join in and tagged my ass so I’ve decided to spend my lunch hour putting together my Four Things just to keep everyone else happy.
Four jobs I’ve had in my life:
- Turnstile Operator at Northampton Town FC
- Checkout Monkey at Tesco’s
- Burger Flipper at The King of Burgers
- Glass Collector at Brannigan’s in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent
(I think these jobs just about sum up my student days)
Four movies I can watch over and over:
- Human Traffic
- Die Hard (1, 2 and 3)
- Lord of the Rings (again, 1, 2 and 3)
- any Pixar cartoon (R.I.P!)
Four places I have lived:
- Derby
- Burton-on-Trent, Staffordshire
- Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire
- Walsall, West Midlands
Four TV shows I love to watch:
- The Simpsons
- Futurama
- Friends (damn these US-comedies!)
- Bottom (God bless Britcom!)
Four places I have been on vacation:
- Hong Kong
- Tokyo
- Thailand/Singapore (honeymoon!)
- Greece (a few times)
(There have been other hols but these are my most enjoyable and memorable)
Four of my favourite dishes:
- Spaghetti bolognese
- Mum’s cheesy potato
- Dad’s chips
- Curry!
Four websites I visit daily:
- SitePoint Forums
- My Google AdSense account (I can’t believe how few people have said this)
- BBC News
- Google
(who doesn’t??)
Four places I would rather be right now:
- Down the pub
- Germany (for World Cup 2006)
- Miami WMC
- On any sunny beach with an ice, cold beer and my wife
Four bloggers I am tagging:
Well seeing as Jon did the honours to me, it seems only fair to tag a couple more Multipack members. So… (prepare yourself lads)
Done!

Hate to be picky, but seems like you have choosen more than 4 films (
) and it’s the *World Cup* in 2006.
Talking about the World Cup, how sick will those pesky journalists be feeling, having ousted Sven, was he to bring back the World Cup. Bastards!

EEP! The link even goes to the World Cup pages. What a lame England fan I look like. All corrected anyway.
(and I know officially I have listed potentially 12 films but what you gonna do…?)

[…] Lloydy! I’d noticed the Eight Random Things meme doing the rounds, hoping to avoid it after my previous encounter with memes. Then I notice you getting involved in my Google Reader with that bloody link to my site at the […]
