Proof that Accountants are dull

Normal Service

will now be resumed hopefully. I’ve been tagged by Southern Bird, so here goes: Four Jobs You've Had In Your Life 1) Barman in a real life “two men and one dog” pub 2) Working in a small local newspaper, proof reading 3) Trainee Chartered Accountant with a large national accounting firm 4) Accountant in a Local Government Organisation – transport related, and with great social impact (is it obvious I’m trying to big this one up?) Four Movies You Could Watch Over And Over 1) Withnail and I – great dialogue and reminds me of where I was brought up 2) Dumb and Dumber – yes, that is my level of humour sometimes 3) Human Traffic – great film about a night out partying 4) Sean of the Dead - clever references and very watchable Four Places You've Lived 1) Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria 2) Ulverston, Cumbria 3) Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Manchester 4) Stretford - Manchester Four TV Shows You Love To Watch 1) Never Mind The Buzzcocks – funny and music related 2) Child of Our Time – documentary tracing how a group of children develop – they’re the same age as our eldest, so it makes for interesting comparisons 3) Big Cook Little Cook – a children’s programme, I watch it with my daughter, she loves it so much, her dancing and singing ALWAYS make me smile 4) The Simpsons – so well written Four Places You've Been On Holiday/Vacation In no particular order 1) Lanzarote – one of the Canary Isles 2) Amsterdam - Netherlands 3) Las Vegas - USA 4) Cornwall – Southern England Four Blogs You Visit Daily 1) Southern Bird 2) Lily's Circus 3) Ticharu 4) Truth Four Of Your Favourite Foods 1) Indian 2) Pasta 3) Crisp, crunchy, juicy apples 4) Dark chocolate Four Places You'd Rather Be 1) On a road trip across the USA 2) Barcelona, never been, but would like to visit 3) In bed on a cold night, knowing that I won’t have to get up in the next few hours 4) In Blackpool enjoying the smiles on my children’s faces Four Albums You Can't Live Without This is a toughie, it would vary from day to day and mood to mood, but I’ll give it a go: 1) George Best by The Wedding Present – soundtrack to my teenage years – angst ridden tales 2) Blue Lines by Massive Attack – an album that brings back lots of happy memories 3) Inflammable Material by Stiff Little Fingers – a searing punk record from my youth 4) First and Last and Always by Sisters of Mercy – from my Goth period. I am a fickle music lover, but at least I can cover most moods with my collection! Four Vehicles You've Owned 1) Ford Escort – well I am an Accountant! 2) Triumph Vitesse – ancient soft top that ate all my money 3) VW Golf – now sadly departed 4) Vauxhall Zafira – my new, sensible, family man car Four People To Be Tagged (I’m not sure what the etiquette on this is, but no offence intended folks) 1) Lily 2) Ticharu 3) Truth 4) Lisa

    Re-reading my answers I think I may be lacking in the butch macho man stakes! Some of them seem a bit wet on reflection?
    Ah well, the truth can hurt sometimes I guess!

    Since I just posted a rant about a chain store called Walgreens this morning, what I'll do, just because you're you, is copy this and do my usual worst and post the answers tommorro.
    Really, I've never lived in any of the places where you've lived!
