Apparently, I’ve been tagged in a meme.
1. Five names you go by:
- Nick – an obvious derivative of “Nicholas”
- Plummer – again, another fairly obvious choice
- Rilla – so called by Ana, because apparently I look like a gorilla
- Monkey Boy – a regular one at work. Not sure why.
- Big Plumms – Herb’s fault, that one
2. Three things you are wearing right now:
- A pair of jeans. I tend to live in a single pair for about a week, then change them when they can stand up on their own accord
- A fleece. Today’s is my Caius fleece, but that’s just because it’s the first I could find.
- My tighty-whitey t-shirt. Actually my work Coolmax effort, but I couldn’t be arsed changing out of it.
3. Two things you want very badly at the moment:
- To know what the hell is going on with my job!
- My grad medicine interview to have been and gone, including them offering me a place and a large scholarship. A yacht would be an added bonus, but I’ll cope without.
4. Three people who will probably fill this out:
- Mr Rob has nothing better to do.
- Asp seems to spend most of his time wasting it on the internet, so may be tempted.
- GrumpyAmbulanceDriver might do it. Though he’ll probably ignore it.
5. Two things you did last night:
- Tried to sync my two Windows Mobile phones to each other. Thunderbird and BirdieSync seems to be the answer (Outlook was teh suck)
- Slept. Rather unsuccesfully (up at 0530!), but still managed a bit.
6. Two things you ate today:
- A giant sausage from a dodgy cornershop in Harrogate
- Home made sausage fajitas
7. Two people you last talked to on the phone:
- My boses’ boss, regarding what the hell is going on with my job
- The charge nurse on my ward at the hospital, trying to get time off to try and sort out the job mess
8. Two things you are going to do tomorrow:
- Go to Harrogate, and do some PTS stuff.
- Have a bath.
9. Two longest car rides:
- Leeds to Cornwall was pretty long
- The length of Florida, including being one of the last cars out of the Florida Keys due to fires cutting off both the access roads, to get back for my Nana’s funeral.
10. Two of your favourite beverages:
- Coke. But it’s so damned expensive, I’ll drink most supermarket “cola” as long as it contains sugar rather than any of this namby-pamby carcinogenic crap
- Most types of real ale will do. I’ll try anything once (except incest and folk dancing…)

You also look like a water buffalo.
