Hello! I'm originally from Cardiff in Wales but am currently living in Hagi-shi, Japan. I'm an Assistant Language Teacher on the Jet programme and have set up this blog to act as a diary of my time here and also to let friends know what I'm up to (I hate group emails as much as the next person!). Enjoy..... or be bored.

I've been tagged! 6 things you didn't know about me

1. I was a member of the 2001 Welsh Champion Trampolining Team (we were the only full male team so automatically won! Bet you wish you could see me in a leotard - sorry no pictures).

2. I have been for a cheeky dip in Venice's Grand Canal.

3. I have had my eyebrow, nipple and tongue pierced. Just don't let me near a piercing studio when I'm intoxicated.

4. I have a burping problem when I drink alcohol. I have an even bigger problem when people insist on rubbing my back to help - this triggers automatic projectile vomiting. DON'T BURP ME - it passes with time.

5. I'm not. Skye and Letty are not. Bob is definitely not.

6. I'm not actually Welsh.

Well, My mum decided to pop me out when she was in England but my whole family are Welsh and I've lived there most of my life. Does that make me English or Welsh? I don't know.

The other two are not characters - they're real people. They`re the only ones who will understand no.5.

And I will always think of you as a hobbit (either that or a former 1st lady). ;) Are you talking about being gay in #5? I mean, there was that whole controversy about whether or not Sponge Bob was a homosexual.

thanks alex - I'm welsh!!

Jagaimogirl - you're good! That is what I'm on about. One drunken night my friend squeezed into a spongebob costume (made for a 10 year old child) and we then proceeded to a club. We decided to defend bob from the homosexual rumors and tell everyone that HE IS NOT!! People just thought we were a bit weird and then it all got out of control and we became obsessed with bob (the creator is obviously on drugs) and the catchphrase stuck. when we drink we often pour a snifty one for Bob too. (this might sound a bit weird but it means that we get to drink more!!)

I've finally found your blog! (I couldn't be dealing with your cryptic clue riddle type palava) then I realised that I only had to click on one of your comments. Doh!

The eyebrow piercing didn't look quite so cool with the big plaster over the top though did it?
And you haven't mentioned the Prince Albert either!!
