Dreadful Nonsense

"I've read your blog. it's really funny. you should write a column." - Jon Ronson


Friday Five is back! So that saves me having to think about what to write in this posting.

1. Where were you born?
In a hospital in Dublin. I was born just after 5.10pm.

2. If you still live there, where would you rather move to? If you don't live there, do you want to move back?
I moved out of that hospital three days later, and I've never considered going back. Fnar. As for Dublin - I don't live there now. I live where I wanted to move to, and that's Edinburgh. Yes, I do want to move back, and have threatened to move back regularly in the two years since I moved to Scotland. However, now that my sister and her dog have moved in with me (did you know?) I don't have any immediate plans on going back. But I can't see myself buying property anywhere else but Ireland.

3. Where in the world do you feel the safest?
Sitting beside my mother.

4. Do you feel you are well-travelled?
Good God, no. But I'm not a very adventurous person, and I'm not someone that feels the need to travel at all. Unlike everyone else I know, I've never been to America, and probably never will. The two things holding me back are a lack of curiosity bordering on apathy, and a crippling phobia of flying. I'm fairly sure that I've been every county in Ireland though, and that's got to be some kind of achievement.

5. Where is the most interesting place you've been?
When I was 13, my family took a holiday in Yugoslavia, in a resort called Pula that no longer exists, as the following year the entire country was engulfed in a horrific civil war. That was a very beautiful area.
