Community Spotlight - Curmudgeon

[EmilieT]

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

@Anonymous Living in the heart of Sherwood Forest.. there’s plenty of places to ride.. every time I go out I find a new trail to hit. Another sad part of our local history is all the pits have closed, but nearly all the railway lines are now cycle paths.. meaning more ways to get to where you want to, but with all the glorious scenery.

I’m so blessed to live where I do.. people come from miles around for the trail riding.. I never really understood why until I got into biking.. 😞

Yes @Glory1 watched it and loved it.. 

It’s great that a current programme is using current affairs to propel itself.. 

btw love Dr Blake, about to start Miss Fisher..

Neighbours & Home & Away aside.. yes Oz tv has improved.. although I do miss Sons & Daughters, The Young Doctors & Richmond Hill

[Anonymous]

Thanks @pgn would never have seen it. And I like that vid.. is that a tv series?

[Anonymous]

I’m not sure I’ve ever been big news @Cleoriff .. there’s a first for everything!

🙂

The video is the intro from a TV series my 8-year old likes to watch on one of the FreeView channels at the weekend, @Anonymous

And the banner pic is just a stock image, judging by the number of sites that use it (Allianz is one!), @jonsie!

Have you ever needed to use your helmet camera as evidence for a road related incident?
