25 Random Things About Me.

Ok I got tagged in Facebook and this is the sort of level my brain can cope with just now.

1. I have won trophies or medals in five different sports.

3. I hacked away at a wall in Berlin. I wasn't a vandal it was the Summer of 1990.

6. ...I also co-founded the Irish Society on St. Patrick Night by collected enough signatures around the bar after a conversation at our table.

8. ...that year when Liverpool were visiting I was heading to the car to head north as the Liverpool team coach pulled past our car port.

11. I ran 4 competitive 10k road races during the 3 week period I was sitting my A'levels.
12. I have run sub 4 minutes miles.
13. On the day of the Northern Ireland Devolution referendum. I turned up late for the triples match we were playing at Rathriland but met the club secretary who's I'd spoken to on the phone outside the polling station to get directions to the green.
14. In the first NI assembly election my vote for Jane Morrice NIWC never transferred to my normal first preference Alliance candidates, nor anyone else, either in full or part, as she was the last candidate to be declared elected by STV.
