Happy Friday everyone!
It's time for the first Community Spotlight of the year, and today we'll be learning more about ...
Curmudgeon
Since he joined the forum last November, he has become a regular contributor around here. He answered a few of our questions to help you guys get to know him better but you can ask him some more in the below if you're curious about anything
What’s your name and where are you from?
Leigh from Leeds, but I now live in The Midlands
Why did you join the O2 forum initially?
To find out about the network, it’s strengths, weaknesses & info on the Moto G5 I bought on a Black Friday deal
What do you like best about the Community?
@Glory1 because they too are a Good Wife / Good Fight fan!
Apple, Android or Windows?
Apple for phone, Android for tv shows (Metal Mickey anyone?) and Windows for a 90s gaming pc.. (Red Alert & Carmageddon)
Favourite movie and/or TV Show?
Movies - Mary Poppins / The Sound of Music / Victor/Victoria
TV - Wentworth Prison / Prisoner Cell Block H / The Good Fight
Do you have any pets?
I’d love a pet, but with the amount of time I spend out of the house it would be unfair to leave him/her alone.
What is your favourite word?
GRIM
What is your zombie apocalypse plan?
Trip you up and leave you!
What is your perfect pizza like?
Pepperoni, Chorizo and extra cheese please!
Future developments in mobile tech you’re looking forward to?
I’m not looking forward to anything really. I just sit here amazed at the things people invent, but then find myself wondering why such simple ideas weren’t thought up &/or implemented sooner!
What do you like to do in your spare time, besides hanging out around here?
After getting rid of my car 11 years ago I began walking everywhere, but with dodgy feet I turned to biking instead.
I bought a hybrid for £65 from a friend. Covering 8000 miles in my first year meant I needed to save for a Road Bike, which I did. Up until last year I was accident free(near enough) but after 3 consecutive months of offs & a stay in hospital, I swapped it for an ex hire mountain bike. It took me a few months to outgrow that and now I’m currently waiting for my Cube Acid 2018 to be invisi-framed & built ready for my 1st reliability trial in June & a few off road races over the summer!
My other passion.. music.. it’s on 24/7. Madonna, Muse, Bette Midler, ELO, Fleetwood Mac, Steps, The 80s & 90s ..but none of that stuff the kids of today call music.. ugh ..
Awesome stuff, thanks again @Curmudgeon for your answers!
Feel free to say hi or ask any follow-up questions in the comments, and have a lovely weekend everyone

It's been a pleasure @Anonymous and great to know more about you.
However, you aren't getting that probe anywhere near me

You're a good sport @Anonymous ... we know a lot more about you now ... it's great for me to hear there is a 'fellow Tyke' on the community
Out of curiosity I've just looked up my own spotlight, done March 2015 ... ah, I'd forgotten about the sheep comment + what I'd like to have happen to Alex Salmond + comments from some members who no longer post on the community + finding out that @Bambino & I share a liking for the music of The Moody Blues = my fave group

This was such a fun thread to prepare and to follow, the replies have been really interesting! I'll remember to come to you @Anonymous if I need any biking-related advice

Just caught up with this thread. Great spotlight @Anonymous! You've got me all nostalgic over the old Command and Conquer games! I've not thought about those for years but used to play a lot.
