sweet effay

I’ve been tagged by Glueboot for another meme. As it (almost) shares its name with the B-side to ‘Silver Machine’, I suppose I’d better do it.

Seven things to do before I die
Watch the Little effay grow up and leave home
Finish the bloody kitchen
Get broadband
Sort this teleology business out once and for all
DMT
Grow old disgracefully
Become the old bloke in the village pub with his own seat, who sits there every day and gets drinks bought by all the regulars.

Seven things I cannot do
Run
Read German
Read books at the same rate that I buy them
Hold a grudge
Hang out the washing without using the pegs in a specific colour-coded order
Have any respect for arguments which make reference to ‘political correctness’ and/or ‘do-gooders’.
Just say no

Seven things that attract me to somebody
An outfit that makes them look like a cross between a vampire and a prison guard
Intelligence
An interesting record collection
A large appetite for intoxicants
A propensity for staying up for ridiculous lengths of time arguing violently about philosophical minutiae
The ability to put up with me on a daily basis
Gross moral turpitude

Seven things I say
Well, I’m having another
What’s for dinner?
Do you really think your mother will be any more pleased about this than I am?
For some obscure reason…
The fact of the matter is…
Hmm, interesting. But then I’d want to say…
No it is not you lying fucker! (shouted at politicians on the television)
