Copied the rules from a friends Facebook post but I’m not posting this there, because I’m too lazy to write an actual blog post (I won’t waste one of the 25 on that obvious fact though!).

Rules:

Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, truths, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it’s because I want to know more about you.

I’m not “tagging” anyone, because I think it’s lame. The post itself is not lame. The whole “send this to xx people or you’ll die” that follow these things (especially in e-mails) is lame.

1. (Thing) I was/am a huge Sooty fan, and he can still bring a smile to my face.
2. (Goal) Have a house built to my own specs with technology and eco-friendly-ness (it’s my word by feel free to use it) built in to every inch. Ultimately I’d love to do this with a partner who has similar interest, but I’m easy.
3. (Thing) Don’t be shy about asking me for ID. I do not look my age, I know this, I carry ID with me. BUT, when I give you said ID, don’t stand there staring at it for 5 minutes working out the dates in your head. If you are too stupid to do simple math (1985 + 21 = less than this year = ok), you probably shouldn’t of left the house this morning, this is not MY problem, this is YOUR problem, don’t punish me for it by making me wait.
4. (Thing) On a related note, I’m unlikely to buy a £80 professional chefs knife to stab someone with when you have £1.50 knives that will probably do, so don’t look at me that way when I bring the professional knife to the checkout, with said ID.
5. (Goal) Build a MAME cabinet. Emulation is a hobby of mine, this is how I’d like to cap the hobby off.
6. (Truth) For the love of god please stop confusing tollerance with acceptance. *You* are the cause of political correctness gone mad.
7. (Truth) Sometimes the best movies are the cheesy ones you bought for £2.99.
8. (Truth) If you are a parent, BE a parent. Get off your lazy fat ass, and take care of the damn kids *you* chose to have.
9. (Truth) Stargate IS the best Sci-Fi show ever. Fact.
10. (Truth) Half-Life IS the best FPS game series ever. Fact.
11. (Goal) Learn to dance with a professional. To the girls who have tried to teach me and for those who have yet to try: I appreciate it, very much so, but I feel I’m *so* bad that I’m beyond your help.
12. (Goal) Complete the Marathon distance in a respectable time. I never got to do a lot of exercise when I was younger, I’d like to do this while I still have a chance. I’m not saying I want to run in the actual marathon (though that would be incredibly awesome), just to know I’m fit enough to go that distance running/jogging/walking is enough.
13. (Thing) If I’m in a restaurant and your menu says it comes with lime, I’m expecting lime. Do not bring me lemons. Lemons are not Limes, it doesn’t matter how you cut them, they’re still not limes. It’s quite simple, limes are green, lemons are yellow.
14. (Goal) Learn to code faster. I can complete small apps within a weekend, I’d like to change this to completing medium size apps within a weekend.
15. (Truth) Stop forwarding me virus hoax’s! Those are not REAL viruses, most of the time they don’t even exist! They’re there only to get your email address and SPREAD. YOU ARE SPREADING THEM BY FOWARDING, MORON! Please read: This and This.
16. (Truth) Stop pretending that “Smart Price” products are “just as good” as high end M&S products, read the ingredients lists. You spend £300/week on alcohol, you can clearly afford the high-end. It’ll do your health the world of good.
17. (Thing) I’m a total snob, especially when it comes to my field, but I know what I’m talking about. My friends are also snobs in their own fields, I trust their opinions on things, you should trust mine.
18. (Thing) If I know I’m right, I won’t flat-out say it, but I WILL talk down to you, because you’re an idiot (as stated earlier). If talking down to you doesn’t work, I’ll let you make the mistake, even if it costs you big. Sometimes I feel the only way to help certain people is to let them get burned, just a little bit.
19. (Thing) Between Jon and Me, we own 2 servers, and about 20 or so domains, if not more.
20. (Truth) Not everyone on the internet are peadophiles. Not everyone that wears a hoody is going to stab you. There is hardly any real forms of racism left in the world. The world is *not* going to explode in 2.3 seconds. These are all fact. Stop believing everything you read in the press, at the end of the day they’re there to sell papers. Scaremongering sells, so does sex, that’s why both are in the press constantly, learn this.
21. (Habit) Sometimes when I get in I’ll get straight online and reply to E-Mails, without even taking my coat off.
22. (Thing) I own what I consider two top-of-the-line input products, a Logitech G9 laser mouse, and a Enermax Aurora aluminium keyboard.
23. (Truth) Innocent Orange Juice (With Bits), is the best orange juice you’ll ever taste out of a carton.
24. (Thing) I can read and understand almost every programming language out there, but can only write effeciently in PHP.
25. (Habit) I’m a sucker for a good deal, even if I don’t need the product at that time – but see myself using it soon. If you know me I’ve probably forwarded you a bunch of deals on various things at least once.  If I were a girl I’d be labelled “Shopaholic”, fortunatly I’m not!
