Thirteen factoids about (you guessed it!) Simon Puttock
 |
If he didn't
live in Scotland, he should like to live on another planet -
or underwater.
|
 |
He really doesn't like baked beans unless they have cheese and 'yeast extract' melted into them, and then he fairly guzzles them. |
 |
It is probable that the reason he really, really likes cacti is that they look like they might be visiting from another planet. |
 |
He would rather swim a mile than run to the end of the block.
|
 |
He had a
beanbag frog when he was small. He called it King Suey. He doesn't know why. |
 |
When he takes photographs, he prefers to take little bits of things close up, so that you can't always tell what they are. |
 |
He can
be extremely clumsy, but almost never falls over. |
 |
It
took him years and years to work out which ear he is a bit deaf in. |
 |
His handwriting is so bad that even he cannot always read what it says. |
 |
He likes
really bad jokes, and it is extremely rare, although also unsurprising,
that anyone laughs when he tells one. |
 |
The
last time he moved house, the boxes of books outnumbered everything else
put together - and there was a lot of everything else! |
|
Simon is extremely good at getting lost. In fact, he seldom has a clue where he is. |
|
Simon is approximately half an inch shorter than he thinks he is. |
