PocasNuckie Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 (edited) Hello EuroBricks Community. I am Pedro Almeida (known around as PocasNuckie , but also a lot more names, depending on where you find me), I am 17 years old , and I'm from Portugal (we definetly flooding this place, damn portuguese :-D ). I'm a recent made member of PLUG (Portuguese Lego Users Group). I know EuroBricks for quite sometime, but never really bothered to regist here, but I was bored just know, and decided to give a try. I am a disabled person (i walk in a electric wheelchair), and never got much of a common social life, so I developed must of my life around computers, and of course LEGO. It all started when i had my 6 or 7 years old. I found a box of my old sister, with a 48x48 with road baseplate, a few red bricks, some flowers, doors, and 2 minifigs, and for quite sometime, that was my LEGO. Later on, in one Christmas, my mom wrote a letter to LEGO Portugal, asking if they could send me some LEGO to cheer me up on Christmas. They we're very kind, and set me a set of Rock Raiders (one with a lot of minifigs), send me a SPACE car, and also Star Wars Endor Speeder Bikes, and Luke's Landspeeder (i loved these last 2 since i was and still am a star wars geek). From there, i started getting sets here and there , making some MOC's (i used to do some very nice firefighter cars and all). Another of the great turn points, came when i got in several forums online, mainly FBTB and then PLUG's forum. It really made me found what LEGO means to me, and made me start emptying my wallet and driving my parents crazy for spending like 1000 Edited July 12, 2007 by PocasNuckie Quote

trooperdavinfelth Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 I have a question: Are you related in any way, shape, or form, to the character from the 24 series Tony Almeida? (Not that he's real unless his character is named after him which would be weird) Quote
PocasNuckie Posted July 13, 2007 Author Posted July 13, 2007 No LoL. I didn't even knew there was a character with my surname in the series. :-D All I know is there is a street and also a theater in London with the name Almeida, atleast that's what my father and sister tell me. Pocas Quote
trooperdavinfelth Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 Kk, just checking. I just saw the name, and I thought: Is this someone trying to be Tony's long-lost cousin? Lol, jk there. Anyways, welcome aboard! :-) Quote
El Bucanero Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 *cough* Almeida *cough* :-D Pocas Must have been thinking about Pedro and Almeida at the same time=... Almeido! My apologies mate! :-$ Mr Tiber Quote

Grand Moff Viceroy Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 Welcome and enjoy your stay. I see that you like star wars, otherwise you wouldn't have your avatar as anakin solo or jacen or whoever that is, they look so similar. Quote
