5 Things
3 01 2007I have just been tagged by Theo in the blog tag game, so here are 5 things that you may not know about me:
- While at Aberystwyth University I played American Football for the university and for Great Britain in 1993 and 1995. I was predominantly a running back, but also played reciever and kick returner, I hold the records for most yeards rushed in a game, season and career, most touchdowns in a game, season and career for Tarannau. The university team was called Tarannau Aberystwyth (hence the name for my blog). I was named ’sports personality’ of the university in 1995. Since leaving the university I was admitted to the teams Hall of Fame.
- I never wanted to be a teacher, while at Aber I was looking for a course to do so that I could play American Football for a further year and was offered a place on a PGCE. A year later I was offered a job at Llanfyllin High School in Mid Wales.
- I am married to Steph and have a 2 year old son called Jack and a 4 week old daughter called Jessica.
- I play rugby on the wing for Whitchurch Rugby Club 2nd XV. We are currently in first position in the league and are yet to be knocked out of the cup.
- To balance out this healthy lifestyle I spend far too much time playing on my xbox 360, my xbox even has its own blog. At present I am wasting too much of my life on Gears of War, Lego Star Wars II, Rainbow 6 Las Vegas and will soon be trying out Call of Duty 3.
I will now tag:
Steve
Happy new year.
I had no idea that you went to Aberystwyth!! (by the way what did you study??)
I went in 1969 played Hockey, went canoeing (and did some Maths and Statistics). Left after PGCE in 1973. Did the PGCE so that I could stay and Hockey for an extra year….. Gosh we are alike!
Your xbox has a more interesting blog than my family blog! and it updates it more often.
Stephen, I studied Accountancy and Economics.
Hey ‘Sweetness’!
Stumbled over your blog by accident, nice to see you’re doing well. Also followed the link to the tarranau website - 45 cheerleaders!!! GAME ON! Slimming would be in heaven! Also, WHY arent I in the Hall of Fame??! Surely everyone remembers that one pull block I executed correctly out of 150 attempted??
Take care, and see you at the next Old Boys reunion (if they’re still going on?)
Maff
Better late than never? “Five things you may not know about me”
P.S. I love the concept of XBoxes having their own blogs.
