There’s a time and a place for playing tag – and this is it.
cue: Mission Impossible theme (the television show version)
Your mission Mr Phelps, is to share seven random and/or weird facts about yourself on your blog, tag seven five random people at the end of the post and include links to their blogs. Let each person know that they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog. This challenge has come from Froggywoogie.
Blimey. Seven random and/or weird facts about myself? Here they are – and arranged in chronological order too!
1. I built a programmable electronic synthesizer when I was ten
2. I broke my ankle without knowing
3. I was a military member of staff on The Royal Tournament at Earls Court
4. HMtQ taught me to ski. And sail
5. I inadvertently wiped out the German and Dutch CB Radio network for three hours
6. I picked up two German schoolgirl hitch-hikers who invited me to bed
7. I have never knowingly killed any person, but I have shot at several
Now then, as it seems I’m not required to explain the detail behind these seven snippets, I’ll go straight to my tagees…
Genevieve
Alice
Mya
Adam (Oh boy, do I want to know seven random things about him!)

Read ’em and weep folks, read ’em and weep – with laughter (probably).

Oh I’d love to know more about 5. LOL, how did you do that?
I hope you enjoyed 6. but I just noticed you never said if you had accepted the invitation 🙂
Bizarre. I did 2 playing rugby when I was 17.
Eventually got plastered 4 days later
I’m more excited that you tagged Alice than me…it’s her first tag 😀
I still love number 6. It’s possibly my favourite thing about you in the whole wide world.

No 5 happened because my squadron was on temporary dispersal to a forest on the Dutch/German border. We were setting up an HF radio link to a detachment of five Jaguars we’d sent down to Sardinia when I accidentally put out an 8,000-watt carrier wave on 27.005Mhz (the root frequency of the European CB radio network).
No 6 was politely declined (though the offer of much coffee – it was 2am – was gratefully accepted).
Ginny, I thought it was time Alice came out to play. 🙂
Gumpher, don’t tell me – were you treated at the Royal Gwent too? 🙂
I didn’t get plastered, they didn’t detect the break. I only found out that it had been broken a few years ago when I had a toe to hip x-ray to diagnose another piece of damage.
