The lovely Utterly Scrummy who has a gorgeous family food blog, so much though that I have forgiven her for being one of those vegemite people, has tagged me to come up with my Infinite Playlist. Wow, this was difficult but I reckon I've got it down...
1. Don't You Forget About Me, Simple Minds
I fancied Jim Kerr so much, who'd have thought that not very many years after I was swooning and a mooning over his Smash Hits posters he would go on to marry (and divorce) someone not much older than myself. I never did like that Patsy Kensit one...
2. Mr Tambourine Man, The Byrds
My favourite all time song, ever, ever, in the whole world. Ever! The reason I would love to be able to play guitar. What Bob Dylan wrote the Byrds perfected. I love this song. Fetch me some lurid printed polyester...
3. She Bangs the Drums, Stone Roses
It sounds incredibly cheesy to say that one song changed my life, but this one did. At the very least my social life, my time as a townie was shortlived and the indie chick was born, although I should probably rechristen myself the indie old codger.
4. Jump Around, House of Pain
Thanks to a girlie holiday to Benidorm in my very early twenties I am unable to sing the 'pack it up, pack it in, let me begin' bit without doing it in a strong Yorkshire accent, despite the fact I am from Nottingham. I have somehow managed to rub this trait onto t'husband who whilst being a Yorkshireman is quite a posh boy and has to fake the requisit accent.
5. Words, Bee Gees
Our first dance at our wedding, say no more. I even *sshhh* like the Boyzone version.
I'm going to tag the following people to share with the world their favourite tunes.
DearDullDiary - I will be disappointed if there isn't any Dizzy Rascal in there.
The Sardine Tin - Reckon she's got good taste.
Mommy Has A Headache - Not sure if she does Memes but let's hope so.
Deer Baby - I think we are about the same age so unless she has really odd taste in music, I bet she comes up with some belters.
Tattooed Mummy - I'm expecting something a bit more leftfield here.
I've also been tagged by my dancing mucker Insomniac Mummy, who has given me the lovely Kreativ Blogger award. I have to share with you 7 things that you probably didn't know about me. It's times like this when you realise just how uninteresting you really are!
The rules are as follows:
1. Copy the award to your blog.2. Insert a link to the person who nominated you.
3. Share seven things about yourself that you haven’t told us before.
4. Nominate seven other bloggers for the award.
5. Link to their blogs.
6. Tell the nominees about their award.
OK, hold tight now, here we go:
1. I never cry at slushy films, actually I don't watch them if I can help it, they tend to make me want to vomit. I do however, have to really supress the tears whilst watching Masterchef
2. I am incredibly impatient, both in terms of tolerance of people and waiting for things to happen. It's my worst personality fault.
3. Learning Spanish has bizarrely helped my spelling. It's still rubbish but it used to be so much worse.
4. My singing is so bad that even Joseph can't bear it. I have been known to make myself blush when I actually hear myself sing.
5. My fingernails grow upwards instead of downwards. Freaky fingers.
6. If we don't have another baby this year then I'd like to do an open university course, maybe in Geography or Physcology.
7. I really struggle with memes and secretly wish someone would write one that says 'what's your favourite vegetable' or something equally inane that wouldn't take forever to think about and I wouldn't have to worry about repeating myself.
I'm not going to tag anyone here, because every other post in my reader seems to be this at the moment and because my 'puter keeps randomly shutting down on me without warning. I don't think my patience (see No. 2) could copy and paste 7 links, checking first that they haven't already been tagged etc... Sorry, however if you fancy having a go then just go for it and pretend I tagged you.
