Thanks everyone!<br /><br />Here we go...<br /><br />Elizabeth - My Google Reader is erratic too. It's missing a few blogs. I'm using my list on the blog and having it in order of most recently updated, but that's getting a bit unwieldy!<br /><br />I'd like to think I could take it on man to beetle now. Grudge match...<br /><br />Amanda - It's nice to see Red Dwarf had at least a few fans stateside! Did you know they actually made a US version? Just a pilot, it was never screened. Of course it was butchered beyond belief - they basically made Lister into a marine!<br /><br />Ro - No problem. :) No, you don't want to - except in a zoo, maybe.<br /><br />Justine - You're welcome! Hopefully the first one didn't make you laugh!<br /><br />Nicola - No problem! With your wealth of advice, your blog is more than worthy.<br /><br />Jayne - They are pretty fearsome.<br /><br />Golden Eagle - Thanks! I followed after seeing your interview on Laura B's blog.<br /><br />Aguilar - You won't regret it! As a youngster, I had that slogan proudly emblazoned on the back of a t-shirt.<br /><br />Lynda - You're welcome! Great idea, although I'd stick with series 1-6 - it was downhill after that.<br /><br />Laura - Aww, hope you're feeling better soon!<br /><br />David - Thanks for the shout out! Going to email you as I wanted to comment to enter your giveaway, but couldn't because of that "reply" feature. I forgot to email before, now it's too late - d'oh.<br /><br />Shelley - Nice to meet you! It was certainly scary as a small child.<br /><br />Nancy - You're welcome. I just hope I don't get any more awards, though, because I think I've already exhausted all the interesting things about myself!Nick Wilfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03841776353790635132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040914078355130442.post-38116769036943924932012-01-23T18:29:30.040+00:002012-01-23T18:29:30.040+00:00I think you, by far, have some of the most interes...I think you, by far, have some of the most interesting facts than anyone else I've seen!

It sounds like you planted your writing seeds quite early, writing at a very young age. That's awesome.That Stag Beetle does look fierce. :) <br /><br />I was very happy to pass the award onto you.
