Today and a meme

As far as I'm concerned only one important national event occured in the UK today and that was the Grand National.

The horse Mum backed won so she's got about £50 coming to her. Poor Tony McCoy's Grand National luck struck again, he was in the lead on a good horse when three of the loose horses blocked him in so he couldn't jump. Poor man looked heart-broken afterwards.

I quite like him, he's got a kind of obsessiveness towards his job that I find admirable. He was being interviewed last night and he was saying how after his racing career is done, that's it, there's never going to be anything that's anywhere near as good. And he meant it.

And I've been thinking about that, and I know I haven't even made baby steps towards it, but I think that lab work or computer work based on other people's lab work is going to be the only job that will ever come close to that sort of feeling for me.

On to Mr. Windsor and Ms. Parker-Bowles finally getting married I have two things to say: finally, and she looked an awful lot nicer than Diana ever did.

Now for the light entertainment part of the broadcast, a meme stolen from Opera.

I want everyone who reads this to ask me 4 questions. Any 4, no
matter how personal, dirty, private, or random. I have to answer them
honestly. In turn, you have to post this message in your own journal,
and you have to answer the questions that are asked of you

I don't normally do this type of meme, but since it was an order, I thought I'd better obey ;)
