Hi, Simon here from just south of London

I'm one of the biggest posters on the Brickset forum, and I've not really given Eurobricks much of a chance in the past, mainly because I didnt much like the forum design. Has the design improved or something? I quite like it now.

Anyway, hi, my name is Simon, I live in Surrey UK, just south of London.

Hard to say when I came out of my dark ages as it was a gradual slide, but then pretty much within 2011 I stepped into a new gear and went from a few tens of thousands of bricks to about half a million. I like the Lego-designed sets, and I also MoC a bit, but my favourite are mods, where i start with a set and improve and expand it, sometimes radically, and I've done quite a few of those.

My fave themes/ styles are historical-ish (Viking, LotR in a big way, and some potter and castle), trains in a big way, and anything a bit 'world' or 'travel', from Prince of Persia to the Fire Temple. Oh, and the modulars of course, although my interest in those is waning after the last couple of releases.

My other hobbies are travel and mountain biking and being a dad. I have 2 kids, and we do have more than a little bit of duplo although its all for them, ahem, honestly.
