Having been tagged by my friend Dan York, it's my turn to reveal 5 little known facts about myself:

1. I am named Martyn after my paternal grandfather, Edward Martyn Davies. Similarly, my son has the name Thomas after my father, Thomas Windsor Davies, who in turn had a grandfather Thomas.
2. My family is Welsh, I grew up partially in Wales. My family goes back many generations (on both sides) in Wales.
3. I once flew a Tiger Moth over Maidenhead (where I now work).
4. I have run three marathons, my best time is 3:57.
5. I worked in Australia at the end of the 80's, where I learned to Scuba dive.

Now who can I pick to pass the baton to? It seems every VoIP/telecom blogger I know is already in play, so I need to reach out to some of the people I'm reading in Bloglines right now:

Ivan Pope, John Wilson, Neville Hobson, Shel Holtz, and, oh number 5 just got fired

Listening to the FIR podcast this evening, I also logged onto Amazon, being sat at the computer. The welcome page suggested I "treat myself" with an eye-catchingly eclectic selection of stuff including Homosapien (CD by Peter Shelley); Blogging for Business (a book by Shel Holtz of FIR); and Motorcyle Diaries by Ernesto "Che" Guevara.

From Pete Shelley to Che Guevara via Shel Holtz, wow this is quite a journey.
