a) Because I knew you for yonks via uk.misc, and when I moved over here, partly due to you having mentioned how good LJ was, you were one of the very first to be added.
b) Perky pinky purple, but not magenta or mauve.
c) You have about the brightest smile of anyone I know, and you're lovely to hug and be hugged by.
d) Your kitchen back in King's Hedges, with the red platform boots. Also, you turning up on the BBC news one afternoon and giving me a classic WTF moment.
e) How come you're one of very few other people on my flist who's heard of Terry Reid?
f) The one with you playing the sax at the Hermitage.
g) Shoot.

a) well, that'd be why I added you too :-) I always like to add new LJ people who I know from elsewhere.
b) I associate you with bradford and radio
c) Proper yorkshire accent :-)
d) You falling asleep sitting at the bottom of the stairs, looking for all the world like a garden gnome. You just needed a fishing line.
e) Where did you grow up and go to school?
f) I like the fnord one :)

As for Terry Reid, courtesy of my mum and dad. Mostly my mum I think. They obviously liked his stuff back in the 70s, and when he released a new album in the early 90s they bought it, and I was a teenager at the time. My parents are still a pretty big influence on what I listen to, and probably actually much cooler than I am. I have to admit I went to see him in Cambridge on their recommendation, not really remembering him very well, and didn't know a lot of what he played, so it was a bit of an odd gig for me, but I did enjoy it. I should listen to some more next time I'm home.

e) Where did you grow up and go to school?

Sheffield. I went to King Ted's, mainly because I wanted to go there and I deliberately failed a couple of Common Entrance exams in order not to be packed off to the Jesuits instead. My academic grades may have slipped a little there, but at Ted's I learned how to live (and inadvertently first started in radio due to a 6th form placement with the BBC). After that Leeds, Bradford, London, Cambridge and Bradford again, where I've been ever since.
