Eight things meme
I have been tagged by by American cyber-buddy Dana for a meme which involves me listing eight things about me (I think the spirit of the idea is that these should be things that you might not know). I won’t continue the meme by tagging other bloggers but I’ll offer you this list:
- My name comes from my father’s service in the Royal Air Force at the end of the Second World War (“Roger and out!”)
- One of my favorites films in “Lawrence Of Arabia” – my review here.
- When I was 18, I sailed both ways across the Atlantic for a trip to Canada
- One of my favourite desserts is banoffee pie – explanation here.
- I’ve now visited 46 countries – but I want to see many more.
- I have a son of whom I am insanely proud – but would love to have had a daughter too.
- My favourite television programme was “The West Wing”
- I once addressed a Labour Party Branch meeting in the living room of an elderly member who died during my speech (but nobody noticed until the end of my remarks).
