James Ogley: 25 random things about me
Tags:
This meme has been doing the rounds on Facebook and elsewhere. I posted my 25 things there but here it is:
- I adore my wife, she's the most understanding and kindest person I know - she'd have to be I suppose.
- I sometimes get frustrated at my son's immaturity - he is 2 so I suppose I ought to expect it!
- I never wanted to be a vicar, God sort of ambushed me on that.
- Despite my protestations, I am actually proud to an Anglican.
- I'm taller than I thought I was.
- I use Linux not only because I believe it to be technically superior to Windows but also because I believe in the Free Software movement.
- I can program in C, Java, Perl and PHP with varying degrees of suckage.
- I failed a Computer Science degree.
- Prior to #8, I was kicked off a History degree.
- I hold a 2:i in Ministry and am working on an MA in the Theology of Mission and Ministry.
- I would like to teach Practical Theology at a theological college at some point.
- The only element of my scouse background that I retain is a love of Liverpool Football Club.
- I used to play badminton to a decent standard and was also an umpire on occasion.
- I am a one-star qualified canoeist.
- THIS ITEM REMOVED FOR MY BLOG.
- I play poker. I play Texas Hold'em best but also play Omaha, Stud, Razz and lowball draw variants and have played against some of the world's top professionals (and taken money from them).
- Poor grammar and punctuation annoy me intensely - as does bad spelling.
- I love shoes, I moisturise and I have my hair highlighted but I am straight.
- I don't have the first idea of how my car works and I don't want to know.
- I like cats but am allergic to too many of them to be able to consider owning one.
- I was once invited to appear on a Japanese television programme about internet addiction. This was back in 1995 and they thought I was in the States where it was being made.
- I have done TV work for Channel 4.
- I listen to BBC Radio Five Live a lot.
- I can't stand Christian media, it tends to be a breeding ground for loony theology and practise and has appalling production values.
- My favourite album of all time is The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses. I wore my first-time-around cassette version out and it still sounds fresh twenty years on.
