I received the Versatile Blogger Award (VBA) from blogger, Kate from Kate's Reads
Click here to see her post.
Kate has provided an explanation as to what it is all about:
What is it?As far as I can tell — details are rather sketchy and only
the creator knows for sure — this
lofty-sounding award is basically a mutual admiration society where bloggers recognize
their peers for writing quality blogs that touched them in some way. The VBAs
honor the blogger rather than specific posts. It’s a chance for bloggers to pat
themselves on the back like the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences does with the Oscars. Until someone
starts giving out Blogscars, the VBAs will have to
suffice.
What are the criteria?
If you are nominated, you’ve been awarded the Versatile Blogger Award. I nominated 15 outstanding bloggers below. Congratulations!
Thank the person who gave you this award. That’s common courtesy.
Thank you, Kate, I'm very grateful for your recognition.
Include a link to their blog. That’s also common courtesy — if you can figure out how to do it.

Well done everyone.
Finally, tell the person who nominated you 7 things about yourself. Here we go...
1. LOST was, and always will be, my favourite TV show.
2. I work full-time as a Mortgage Adviser.
3. I'm a good cook, even if I do say so myself. I can't understand how someone could say they can't cook. I belive that, as long as someone follows the recipe, anyone can do anything.
4. I drive a Blue Motion VW Golf.
5. I got married in Mauritius in 2005.
6. At time of writing, my wife has torn her achilles, which has bled and then bone has calcified around it. So, today she went to the fracture clinic and is now wearing a bulky boot to take the pressure off when she walks. It's going to take a long time to heal, if ever, so it's going to mean a lot of changes. No driving for her, more responsibilities for me.
7. I was on TV quite a lot because of the following clip. Check out the 1 minute 16 seconds mark, and that's me. It was used on a lot of news reports, tv sports shows, etc, all over the world. It was the end of the first game of Wales' Grand-Slam-Winning 2005 Six Nations campaign. It was quite burst of adrenaline and I had a thumping headache from all of the excitement about 30 minutes later.
There you go
