I have been tagged again. Twice. Despite all I have said.

Dave over at Cognitive Edge has tagged me for eight things about myself, that people don’t know. I’d throw rocks at him for that but he says nice things about me, so I won’t. However, I have done this one so many times [twice? Three times?] that there is nothing left to say. He’ll have to make do with………….

A meme from Summer-Raine.

8 SUCKERS WHO ARE GOING TO GET DONE WITH THIS MEME

Now I have a problem.

I can either tag total strangers, which would be nasty, or I can tag people I know won’t respond, which seems a bit pointless. Or I can get revenge on all the people who have tagged me. But I have been tagged so many times recently, that I have used that store up.

So I’m going to pass on this one.

No I’m not. I’m going to pass it on to Kirk at Just Thinkin’ because he is daft enough to accept it.

If you are up to a challenge, then you too can try it. It’s better that the usual “7 things you don’t know about me” because it requires a little thought. Not much; just a little.
