7 Things You May Not Know About Me

Welcome back!
Feel free to suggest topics for me to write about using the Suggestions? tab to the right or use Formspring to ask me random stuff. Check Doug's FAQ first!

I’ve been tagged in another meme, this time the ’7 Things You May Not Know About Me’ one by Alev Elci. As I participated in the ’5 Things’ meme back on teaching.mrbelshaw.co.uk in 2006 here, I’ll cheat by just adding two. :-p

6. I have a rather dry sense of humour. More like Martini Extra Dry, in fact…

7. I’m not great at geography. Unlike my wife Hannah, who has top-down maps of places in her head, I can still get lost using a combination of my Sat-Nav and GPS feature of Google Maps on my iPhone. On the other hand, at any given time I could probably tell you pretty accurately which way is North, South, East or West. Bizarre.

Not so weird. I think what you have is a sense of personal orientation which is very different from a knowledge of the geography of a place.

It is a known fact that men are more aware of direction(N,S,E,W) at any given time. Hannah is just genetically brilliant like her parents! No bias…
