Member Spotlight - Flying_Dutch>XI<

[BlackRose]

Let start with your clan name?  Flying_Dutch

    Do you have any nicknames? Personal or in game? Not overly – though Raven has taken a liking to Flying_Crutch – read into that what you will

    When and where were you born?  So I was born at 05:40 on the 11th June 1978 in a recently made City of Colchester in the UK

    When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?  I didn’t really have an idea of what to be as an adult

    Where have you lived?  Colchester, Chelmsford, Brighton, Exeter, Scunthorpe, Plymouth, Stevenage, Camborne, Penryn, Manchester and Liverpool    

 

    What got you into gaming?  My brother used to play Medal of Honour so I followed him.

    Your first game you played? Pong – very old game

    And what do you play now? COD4

    Why did you join XI?  I found the server and joined up ten years ago and never looked back.

    What do you get from being in this clan?  It’s a lot of fun.  The players are good fun and its always good escapism.

    What is your favorite hobby? If I had the time I’m sure I could evolve it past wine.

    What is your favorite travel destination?  Anywhere with a beach and hot men.

    Are you married?  Not yet, but if Wildthing is reading this – you know where I am.  *wink wink*

    Do you have children? No

    What kind of pets do you have, if any? What are their names?  So I have a cat called Kit.

    Are you a sports fan? If so, what is your favorite team?  I enjoy what I fondly call spectator sports.  Sports that can keep my occupied visually.  So diving, running, football.

    What causes are you passionate about?  I’m passionate about any cause that puts people and their success first

    Do you volunteer? If so, where?  I am a non stipendiary Priest

    What is an interesting fact about you?  I would guess being a Priest and a gay one is quite interesting.  Its unusual for it to be public knowledge.

    Have you continued your education past college or university with career development seminars or classes? What kind?  Well I guess not overly work related.  Gained my intermediate amateur radio license, qualifications for taxi licensing and alcohol licensing.

    Did you know what profession you wanted to work in when you started college?  Well no

    Did you belong to any professional organizations?  So I belong to the Institute of Licensing and the Licensed private hire car association.

    What is your current job title? Well I have a couple.  So I’m a director of my Taxi firm and a Diocesan Bishop

    Did you win any awards or recognitions during your education? Sadly not.

    Where do you work?  So I work within my taxi firm and within the church as a whole

    What other job titles have you had in your career?  I was an educational officer for a wildlife park and I have also run pubs and clubs

    Where else have you worked?  Zoos, Pubs and clubs.  Was a DJ for about 8 years

    Why did you choose to work in your industry? Well Taxis made it easy to study theology for my Priesthood because I’m self employed I can stop and start.

    Why do you like your job?  Well both can be rewarding and tiresome equally.  However the ability to grow with others is a huge plus point

    How would you describe your career?  Tangible.  Its where it is and jumps when it needs to.

    If you could give a younger person career advice, what would it be?  Its your life and what you decide today may not be what you want tomorrow, but that’s ok!

    Are you involved in any professional/ non-profit/sports organizations? If so, do you have a title or rank within these organizations?  So within my denomination I am a Diocesan Bishop which is basically an area manager.

    If you were granted 1 wish, what would you wish for?  I guess I would love people to accept others more.  I find the world is full of people who struggle to understand others and then use that as a barrier for acceptance.  You know none of us understand everything, but a smile and acceptance goes a long way!

 

So to give you guys a bit more on me - I've attached some pics - my desk - where I write sermons and kill people.  My cat, My beautiful taxi - Mercedes S350d Long AMG Line.  Me out at gay pride.

Thanks for reading and as always.  If i'm AFK on the game its because i'm on grindr as well.  

Thanks to all of you for making the ten years so far be amazing and I love each and everyone of you!!

Interesting read. Interesting monitors (for the life of me I can’t figure that out!) but you did say, "You know none of us understand everything, but a smile and acceptance goes a long way!  so here goes 

[FlyingDutch]

The monitors are useful because I own a taxi firm - so I can keep an eye on that, I can do all the other stuff I need to do too.
