[Jones2ByrneJones]

1. Age?
18

2. Where did you grow up?
The Adelaide Hills. I've never lived anywhere else, although I travelled relatively frequently in childhood (from ages 5-12).

3. Occupation/Uni Course/Grade?
I work at Woolworths. I've applied for Biomedical Engineering at Uni but I think I'll change that soon. I have a week to decide.

4. Why have you chosen to go post on Bigfooty?
I have no idea why I started and no idea why I'm still here.

5. How'd you find the FGD Board?
Surfing the forum - came across it. Saw some designs, was in awe, decided to create some of my own...

6. What is your local footy league?
SFL, but I don't play anymore.

7. What is your greatest accomplishment?
State champion at jump rope.

8. What word describes you best?
Best

9. If you were on a deserted island, who would you want to be with from the FGDB and why?
I suppose Mero or Wizardwaffle would make things interesting with their knowledge, but I'd have to choose

10. What is the kindest thing anyone has done for you on the FGDB?
Silent Alarm sent me a nice message the other day.

11. What is your most rememberable moment on this board?
I'm not sure. Something that I've done or that others have done? I mean, just recently, a lot of us reported those fake jumpers to eBay and it was slightly heartwarming...

12. Who is your favourite poster on this board and why?
Different posters have different attributes which make them fantastic in different ways. Some have superior knowledge of football and footy jumpers, some have a greater knowledge on life in general, some are really good at designing, some have great senses of humour, etc.

13. Who is your least favourite poster on this board and why?
What a controversial question. Everyone has flaws.

14. If you could meet anyone from this board in the real world, who would it be and why?
Tough question. If I could meet anyone then I'd meet everyone.

15. What would you be doing right now if you weren't on this forum?
Well the girl that was here left about 10 minutes ago. It's 12:30AM on New Years Day. I guess I'd be partying. I'm going out as soon as I finish this.

16. For how long have you been posting on the FGDB?
Some time, in August I'd assume.

17. Do you think you will ever lose touch with the FGDB?
I'm sure, one day, I won't have as strong an interest and passion as I do now and that I'll use the board less. Whether or not I'll abandon it, I doubt it, but I'm not sure.

18. When on this board have you felt most alone? (if ever)
All of the time - I'm a lone warrior.

19. Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
At the beginning.

20. If you woke up as the opposite sex, what is the first thing you would do?
Besides the extremely obvious, I'd take photos and videos for the future.

[Silent Alarm]

Where did you grow up?
A bunch of houses in the same suburb of the same town (they have billboards on buses and traffic jams sometimes, so I better say it's a city) in Western Australia

Occupation/Uni Course/Grade?
I'll get a job when I move into a new place. I don't technically go to any uni at the moment, but I do Journalism despite hating the notion and stigma of being a traditional journalist...

Why have you chosen to go post on Bigfooty / How did you find the board?
I found a few of the old paint templates in a google search. It took me a while to actually check out the boards, and even longer to lurk enough to consider making an account. It was a bit of a slow progression.

This was all from just liking footy jumpers. I remember drawing soccer shirts when I was a little kid, and there's a vivid memory of me doing a Man United one (this is hard to admit!). I was also a bit of a drawer, I had a pretty cool style in retrospect. Anyway, when I'd draw a packmark or a screamer, I'd spend a fair bit of time on the jumpers as well. And as I got older, I still hypothesised what teams could or should look like. I genuinely thought it was just me who would think like that...

What is your greatest accomplishment?Waking up without a hangover this morning, despite having my first few beers at 3 in the afternoon

If you were on a deserted island, who would you want to be with from the FGDB and why?
I'm pretty sure it's just "desert island" with this hypothetical. Anyway, I'll go COHL. Everyone else would probably succeed if they tried to kill me in my sleep

What is the kindest thing anyone has done for you on the FGDB?
Probably when someone told me all the things they didn't like about me via PM

What is your most memorable moment on this board?
Finding out that the master of monikers, COHL, joined this place when he was 9

Who is your favourite poster on this board and why?
To be honest, I wouldn't really like a lot of you if I knew you in person. But in the discourse of football, mostly everyone here is pretty normal, able to have a bit of a laugh.

Who is your least favourite poster on this board and why?
Anyone who doesn't realise Matthew Pavlich wears a sock size too small

If you could meet anyone from this board in the real world, who would it be and why?
There's like three or four. Me and Gibbsy have a laugh about wanting to have a beer with Mero. But I'd like to see The Oracle completely plastered and saying how "the new Crows clash jumper is better than Essendon's!" But I've met a couple of people from this 'hole. And that was basically because, personably, they were the kind of people I'd usually hang out with

What would you be doing right now if you weren't on this forum?
Feeling sentimental and homesick, listening to The Pains of Being Pure at Heart

Do you think you will ever lose touch with the FGDB?
I'm only on one other forum, and that's now (mostly) because of the people there. Weirdly, I don't even like the majority of them either. I guess you grow attached to things, and it's hard to leave when you don't really have to. So unless I have to...

When on this board have you felt most alone? (if ever)
The time everyone had a mad rad bitchin' party at Andonis's. His mum had heaps of party pies and cordial, the pinata had good lollies in it, and he liked the present I bought him. Then I realised a few people were staying over and I was one of the ones who wasn't cool enough. I had to go home in the afternoon. At school the next day, I heard someone spewed and someone else had to go home. It sounded fun though and I wasn't invited.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
I couldn't tell you – and I like that

If you woke up as the opposite sex, what is the first thing you would do?
Go to American Apparel and buy a lot of the girls clothes and just look at myself in the mirror and touch my hair and think "yeah I'm a chick."
