Ive been tagged by 'Seahorse'. This means that she has mentioned me in her blog in the course of a game whereby we list 8 things about ourselves, and then 'tag' another 8 bloggers. Well, I'm pretty game for most things so purely for your and my entertainment, here are the rules followed by the 8 things....
Let others know who tagged you
Players start with 8 random facts about themselves
Those who are tagged should post these rules and their 8 random facts
Players should tag 8 other people and tell them they've been tagged.
1. I can speak Dutch. I studied it for 5 years while I was at university. Apart from introducing myself Ive never been able to use it much as Dutch people wont let you speak to them long enough without going into English.
2. I'm double jointed which has its pros and cons I can tell you.
3. My worst job ever was working for KFC as a student. I lasted one night and never went back.
4. My husband proposed to me and pulled out a ring at a Paul McCartney concert. Paul was singing Michelle Ma Belle at the time.
5. I used to organise organ retrievals and transplants for the NHS.
6. I wanted to be Prime Minister when I was a child.
7. I played hockey and did shot put at county level but was too lazy to take it further.
8. My biggest ambition at the moment is to learn to fly.

I can relate to what you say about the Dutch. I grew up in Holland, but my father is English and speak Dutch with a terrible accent. So when he tries to order something in Dutch in a shop or cafe, the waitor/waitress always replies in English. I'm also always addressed in English when I'm out with my parents and people hear us speak English together. But fortunately, I can get my own back by replying in perfect Dutch which I don't think they expect (smile).
