Four

Oh bollocks, I've been tagged for something by Piggy.

1. Four jobs you have had in your life:

Quality assurance chemist - in a factory that makes huge batteries for things like submarines, electric buses, aeroplanes and the like. It was a summer job that I had for two years while I was at university. The pay was really good compared to some other jobs and I actually enjoyed it.

Research technician/associate - Yes, I'm a scientist and after finishing my PhD, I worked in research for about 6 years. I worked on a number of projects that looked at how reproductive hormones change during normal physiological cycles and also in a number of conditions (women's troubles). This was good fun for some of it (Manchester) and really quite dreary and depressing for other bits (Sheffield).

Research facilitator - After realising that I was crap at doing research, I decided that I was best suited to telling other people how to do it. Specifically, I work in the healthcare sector and deal with hospital and univerisity staff who want to do research (poor, misguided fools).


2. Four movies you could watch over and over:

Sound of music
Kill Bill (1&2)
Beaches
The Shining


3. Four places you’ve lived:
Salford (shithole)
Leeds (loved it there, even though I lived in a student shithole)
Coventry (not brilliant, but a brilliant curry house - Royal Bengal - in Earlsdon)
Sheffield (dump)

4. Four TV shows you love to watch:
Don't really watch telly, but
Little Britain (hilarious at first, but has gone off spectacularly)
The League of Gentlemen (much better than Little Britain)
The L Word
Spaced (old now, but brilliant)

5. Four places you’ve been on vacation:
Rimini, Italy (where my dad's sisters are)
North Wales
Cornwall (wet)
Rome (fab)

6. Four websites you visit daily:
1. Angry Chimp
2. BBC News
3. Yahoo mail
4. Blogs

7. Four places you’d rather be right now:
In bed, asleep
In a morgue, dead
In Chorley, tucked up in bed
In Norfolk, fuelling my Prader Willi syndrome

8. Four bloggers you are tagging:
Anyone who can be bothered.
