I don’t tend to do ‘notes’ on Facebook, on the basis that it’s hard enough to find something to post about here every day and spending the time doing that, without ending up doing the same on Facebook as well.

However, I was tagged in a Facebook meme and so feel kinda obliged to give it a go. So again, this is for Walshy, who keeps me well supplied with bad jokes.

In my shirt pocket. Although the inclusion of this question — after losing my previous phone while out on the beer with Walshy — makes me wonder whether she’s taking the piss somewhat.

Where is it? Well, mostly on my head, but also scattered around elsewhere.
