Where about are you from?: I am an expat Brit living in California.

How did you become an Evertonian?: Both my Granddad and Uncle were Everton season ticket holders, unfortunately my Dad never got the bug but thankfully he did take me to see the parade after we won the FA cup in 1984 and at that point I was chosen even if I didn’t really know it yet. Everton was my school girl crush but tbh it probably had more to do with how good Gary Lineker’s legs looked in those 80’s shorts than our performance on the pitch.

Real life issues such as career and marriage moved my focus off Everton but I remotely followed how we were doing – I vividly remember refreshing Ceefax to see if we were going to survive relegation in 1994. Moved to California and lost touch with football but World Cups and Euros got me interested again in the sport. My uncle sadly lost his wife a year ago and searching for a neutral topic to talk with him about Everton came up and so I started watching our games and got hooked again.

Your all-time favourite Everton player?: Gary Lineker for his legs and England performances. Peter Reid for his tackles and general bossness.

Your current favourite player?: It’s like choosing your fav family member – love them all, warts and all. If forced to choose would be Oviedo for his attitude. He had me in tears with his post-derby “head-up” & “Proud to be a Blue” tweets when he was still in hospital after suffering broken leg.

Pineapple on Pizza, Is it socially acceptable? What are your views?: LOVE pineapple on pizza but also love beans on toast. If we were all the same life would be boring!

There fixed it for you (y) Welcome, we don't have enough women on the forum. Enjoy GOT and the cynical introspective mood thats an epidemic at the moment. Everton is Boss and we can still finish fourth :)
 
hello Lin and welcome, what did you think of the mighty thighs of Segundo Castillo ???

Lineker's pins looked like Big Bird legs when compared to that guy
 
Welcome to the forum mate, I'm quite jealous of where you live, can we do a temporary swap, High Wycombe is like the California of the South of England.

Thanks for the welcome Bungle, just did a quick search on High Wycombe and the second hit was a recent BBC article about a car disappearing down a 30ft sinkhole. I'm a bad enough driver at the best of times without the hazards of sinkholes so I'll reluctantly have to decline your kind invite for a swap :)

Foiled by the sinkholes again god damn it! We'll just have to do a house share in California then mate.

See you soon xx

If you do come over could you please bring some rain with you? Never thought I would be begging for rain but if we don't get loads of rain soon we will have a terrible drought and you guys seem to have plenty to share at the mo - might even help with the sinkholes!

Despite the rain and floods there's probably still a hose pipe ban, I think you did the right thing in leaving this country.
