# 5 Fun Facts

While I was ploughing through another early hours of the morning session of commenting on Steemit posts, I noticed @enginewitty had tagged me in a post - this one https://steemit.com/fivefacts/@enginewitty/5-fun-facts-about-enginewitty and the tag was a nomination to continue this chain post idea. It seems he was nominated by @saffisara someone else on Steemit I have encountered many times throughout my time - so many familiar names are in #thealliance it seems like the group has soaked up all the great content creators I lost track of. Anyway, enough rambling let's get on with the **FACTS** 

<div class="pull-left">https://steemitimages.com/DQmYy7LAuyWf3pQLNMvm2YfyeLWZzfxXBd5DTBSoM6uBHze/1.png</div>Some people have said I used to be quite handsome when I was young, so I don't exactly know what went wrong since then. This was taken a ridiculously long time ago, evidently the years since then have not been too kind to me.

Back in 2009 I was the best man at a school friends wedding, I am not Scottish but his family bloodline is, so I got to wear a fetching kilt. He also has lived in Boston, massachusetts for many years since we left University so I got to spend a week in the Wonderful city. <br/>

I have been snowboarding since my teenage years, when I started it was still relatively new and developing. I can ski as well because I learned that first but always struggled to reach the skill level required for deep off piste snow - so I moved onto snowboarding because they just float over the powder like surfing!<br/>

For the first 10 years of my life I was brought up on a Farm, and some of my relatives on my mum's side still still work on farms. It was quite isolated so outside of school I did not see any other Children which meant I spent most of my time occupying myself outdoors. I still to this day prefer my own company, somehow the desire to socialise with people just never developed in me, I did learn to force myself to interact with people but being honest I'm not a people person. I don't have any old pictures of me to hand, so you can enjoy my youngest boy practicing milking a cow at Blackpool Zoo  in the Farm Zone a few years back.

I have two boys, and they make an odd pair because the youngest is 7 and the eldest is 20! You could make a comedy duo out of this little and large pairing, this picture is taken from my youngest's School Christmas Fair last December - the snowman is their mum! She spent the whole afternoon having pictures taken with the various school children, plus it was really hot inside the outfit.<br/>

And there you have five facts about me you probably did not know. Now for the hard part, because I have to tag three #thelliance members to do their own 5 Fun Facts posts. My first choice is @atmemestable because she has been doing some amazing (and mouthwatering) food posts and I am sure she will have some fun facts to share. My second choice is @burkulese who is currently travelling and sharing amazing pictures of his journey - I bet he has some very interesting facts to share. Finally a new member, @mr-neil who seems to share a surprising amount in common with me - I'm intrigued to learn a little more about him.

For Steemit to grow we need to post rich content - interesting and unique posts that encourage others to join in and share their experiences. If you feel your own posts are not doing well look at what your favourite content creators are doing - if you like their work they are doing something you could do as well - think of way to do similar things with your own unique twist.

As Steemit grows making your content stand out gives it a greater chance to be seen and enjoyed, I try to work on making one post a day - but making it as big and content rich as I can. I don't know if this is the right way, but I enjoy the most big content rich posts - and a wise man on Steemit once said to me - make your content like the content you enjoy.
