Five things tagged

Damn, tagged by a Spanish Spy! Dark secrets he wants, dark secrets! Is suspect this is how Spanish spies gather information. I'll have to be careful and not reveal too much then.

1. My first job was as a trainee carpet salesman. I lasted 2 weeks, and was told I'd have to get my hair cut,(it was shoulder length) or find another job. I went out that lunchtime and found one as an apprentice electrician. I can't remember if I ever actually sold a carpet.

2. I used to be a member of the Resolutionary Socialist League which didn't exist, it was really just the Militant Tendency. That was when I was young and naive.

3. I once saw Adam Faith in the Hotel Inglaterra in Havana. I said to my friends "That guy looks like Adam Faith" They all said don't be daft what would Adam Faith be doing in a hotel in Cuba. When we got back home one of my friends phoned me to say he was watching a holiday programme with Adam Faith in Cuba.

4. When I was 14 I went to Glasgow with Dean Adamson. We stopped a man in the street and asked him how to get to Sauchiehall Street. He burst out laughing and instead of telling us, he stopped everyone else around telling them that these boys were looking for Sauchiehall Street. Humiliated in my first trip to the big city without adult accompaniment.

5. I once, briefly played in a band called In Prague with Reidski. Our solitary gig was as support to the Trashcan Sinatras, whose then drummer played for us. I use the term support loosely, We were first of about 8 bands. I broke a string in the first song.

So now who to tag? Let's see if Steve's up to it, and Jane and Gordon and Pam and Paul. There Tagged.
