I've been tagged

Amber has said some very nice things about me over at her blog and tagged me.  This means I am meant to reveal 5 things you probably didn't know about me.  So here we go:

1.  Before getting into advertising I failed in music - both as a drummer and an A&R person (talk about politics)
2.  The above could be explained by the fact that my first memory of being uncontrollably sad was watching Bardo fail to win the Eurovision Song Contest (in my defence I was 8)
3.  I have a huge passion for hockey.  Field hockey.  (That normally raises an eyebrow or two in America).
4.  Although I tend to hide behind my wife on this, I guess I have a rather secret dark interest in the WWE.
5.  Every day I'm amazed and a little humbled that people listen to and/or spend time reading my ramblings.

I'm now meant to tag another five people but I like the idea Noah had.  Instead of nominating tags, I'm going to leave it open in the hope five other people post their five unknown things in the comments.

I love number five, very eloquent and exactly how I feel.

I will be really interested to see if someone does this ... given it goes against most cultural value systems [even in the West]

Even with my ego I wouldn't feel comfortable talking about my secrets/short-comings without a formal, personalised invite - so I look forward to seeing who'll take your offer on.

Oh, and I know I sent you an email, but Happy Christmas Gareth - hope to see you in '07

[Emily]

Ok then Rob, I just tagged you on my blog. A little something to do when you get back from your computer black-out.

Social experiments - love them.
Have a great holidays rob and hopefully we'll meet in 07

[Rob @ Cynic]

Thanks [I think] Emily and I hope to see both of you in '07 - girlfriend permitting, ha!

I've seen tagging before on xanga but never on typepad. Hilarious insights especially the WWE. The WWE and NASCAR are two uniquely American-isms that, I think, would only fly here.
