Happy Friday everyone!

 

It's time for the first Community Spotlight of the year, and today we'll be learning more about ... Drum

 

Curmudgeon bulb

 

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 wink

 

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 slight smile

No worries @Glory1 people need to talk about these things but for me, I still have nightmares and I don't even feel safe in an ambulance now. So by all means this is @Anonymous's thread so I respect that and will just skip it.

Blimey @gmarkj & @Glory1close encounters all round.. making mine seem more of a minor bump. & @jonsie I respect that this topic maybe too close to home but don’t think you (or anyone) have to hold back on my account, I see it as a thread for the whole community (it would be pretty rubbish without you all!!!) 

 

 

Sorry the replies have been delayed recently but life hasn’t been wonderful since the weekend!

Post where you feel most comfortable @jonsie

Most people know what happened to you in Thailand 15 months ago. If the same had happened to me, I would never get in a car again. (and didn't for 3 months after I had an accident where someone rammed in the back of me). The car was a write off ...luckily I just suffered whiplash.

Nothing like the injuries you sustained

It seems by reading @Anonymous's spotlight...a lot of us have had near misses with cars and bikes.

No wonder they say it's safer to travel by plane scream

I found a full-size version of your avatar pic for you, if you're interested - it reminds me of a film I have on DVD somewhere, called simply "9", film poster below.

 

Interesting avatar pic!

 

Hope you had a good Christmas and that 2019 is kind to you.

There is a reason for that avatar which @Anonymous mentioned somewhere else.

I will leave him to explain again. It's a brilliant picture actually
