Guest guest Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 [i'm not sure what happened here - I approved Daz's message but it didn't show up on Vegan UK, so I'm reposting it - sorry about that Daz, and welcome to Vegan UK] " Darren Fuller " <daz.fuller 9 September 2006 09:17:49 BDT Re: File - Profile questionnaire === Questions about you === 1/ What is your name (or what do you like to be called)? Hi, my name is Darren although most people shorten it to just Daz which is fine with me 2/ How old are you (a rough idea will do)? I'm 26, born January of 1980 3/ Do you know many vegans in real life? I know none, come to think about it I only know two vegetarians and thats because I work with them?!? 4/ How long have you been a vegan, and how long vegetarian before that? I've only been vegan for about a year, before that I was a vegetarian for about 6 years 5/ Why did you become vegetarian/vegan (if you are neither it would be useful to explain why you joined this list)? I suppose everything just came to a head, I started thinking more about the animals when I was eating meat but wasn't sure about going veggie then one night I finished my dinner and though to myself " that's it, I'm going veggie " . I stopped eating all meats from that moment, I was living with my parents at the time and naturally they thought it was just a phase Then more recently the same sort of thing started happening again which prompted me to go vegan which my wife hates, but seeing as I do the cooking she doesn't have much to argue about. === Questions about your area === 6/ Whereabouts do you live? Ilkeston in Derbyshire 7/ How good a place is it for vegans? It's like any other small town really, nothing special but there are a few shops where I can get some ingredients from. === Questions for fun === 8/ Which is your favourite type of bean? That would have to be the butter bean, I don't know why but I love them 9/ What is your favourite country, or region, to visit? Scotland, I just love it and I always feel more at home there 10/ What types of film do you like? Most types, although probably more action/adventure than anything else. My favourite movies would have to be V for Vendetta, Devil's Advocate and Spirited Away 11/ What was the last meal you ate? The last proper meal I ate (it's been mad here lately so I've not been eating that well!!) was Pasta with a homemade (fudged to be precise) tomatoe sauce, steamed veg and some soya burgers 12/ Are you a morning, evening or night person? Definately a night person, which gets tricky when I've been up since 6am and then only really wake up when I need to go to bed === Questions for dull administrative purposes === 13/ How did you find out about this list? I was looking for some motorbike gloves on the web, found the vegan bikers list and decided to search for UK vegans, which reminds me, I've digressed a bit from trying to find those gloves === Other comments === 14/ If there is anything else you want to add to the above please feel free to do so. Well I would be really interested in hearing from any other vegan bikers out, could do with some pointers. Also is it just me or are there very few recipies out there, that you can whip up quickly in the evenings after spending the day at work, which don't require ingredients you've probably never heard of or ever seen? Might be just me, usually is! Big hello to any vegans in the derbyshire area as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 Thanks Paul, thought I was being kicked out before I'd even really joined in for a moment there Following on from something I mentioned in my first email, if anyone is looking for motorcycle gloves Triumph seem to do some called " Sympatex Speedking " , I haven't ordered any yet but I'll post when I get them.
