denny | Four things...

> Four jobs you may not have known I have had in my life:

1. Martins: sales assistant (or 'till girl' as the assistant manager liked to call me)
2. Mr Minit: general assistant (cutting keys, re-heeling shoes, shooting things with the nailgun with my boss's full approval and occasional coaching)
3. Abbey National General Insurance: claims advisor (hated it - a team of middle-aged women and me; in my early 20s, all long hair, tattoos and motorbike - let's just say I didn't fit in very well)
4. Open University: office temp (I was actually a research assistant (i.e. low-paid developer working on an academic proof of concept project), but it was easier to get funding approval for an office temp, so that was my job title)

> Four movies I could watch over and over:

1. The Princess Bride
2. Pirates of the Caribean
3. Fear and Loathing.
4. I'm not quite sure. Fight Club maybe, I think that would wear well. Others considered included Mirrormask, Pulp Fiction, and the Matrix.

> Four places I have lived:

1. London (from age 30 onwards)
2. Milton Keynes (from age 16 to 30)
3. Hemel Hempstead (from age ~4 to 16)
4. Leighton Buzzard (at some point in my extreme youth)

> Four TV shows I love to watch:

1. Firefly
2. Red Dwarf
3. Maybe Buffy, although 'love' is a bit of a stretch
4. Um... I don't really like TV much. Oh, Star Trek TNG and DS9 will do. Again, 'love' is pushing it a bit - I don't even own any on DVD.

> Four places I have been on vacation:

1. Germany - school trip, don't remember anything about it except skipping stones, on the Rhine I think it was.
1a. Actually, the school trip to Spain was more fun. I got drunk (every night for a week), for pretty much the first time in my almost-adult life. I also turned down a pass from a girl I desperately wanted, because she was even more drunk. I get attacks of morals at the most inconvenient times.
2. France - with my dad. Mostly the south - St Vivien de Medoc, near Bordeaux I think - but also Paris for a few days.
3. Netherlands - Nijmegen, a 4-day, 100-mile march with Air Cadets (or looked at another way, 10 days in Holland for 10 quid, with food and camping included in the cost).
4. Isle of Wight - the Gurt Gallybagger bike rally.

> Four of my favourite foods:

1. High quality cheeseburger with chips.
2. Medium-rare steak with chips and fried mushrooms.
3. Pasta with tuna-mayo.
4. Deep pan Hawaiian pizza, with mayo on the side to dip it in.

In fact, I'll have mayo to dip the chips in for the first two meals too, thanks. I like mayo.

> Four places I would rather be right now:

1. In a carnal embrace with any number of cute people (individually, or in some cases, in a range of fun and entertaining combinations).
2. That's it. Pretty soon I'll be in bed with a book and some food, but for now I'm happy online, given that I can't be fucking anyone I fancy just now.

> Four kinds of my favourite ~~candy~~ sweets:

1. Chocolate Orange
2. Easter eggs (don't ask me why, but they taste so much better than the same chocolate in bar form)
3. Twix
4. Dairy Milk

I'm leaving off Munchies (and Nestle Crunch), because they're made by Nestle and so I don't eat them any more. But I miss them! Waaaah. Stupid principles.

I've been thinking about giving up on my Nestle boycott quite a lot over the last year, but so far I still seem to be more stubborn than flexible on the subject.

> Four friends I think will replicate this meme:

I'm not convinced anyone will read it, let alone re-post it :)
