We would like to say
to
dizzy leeds lass for letting us step into their personal life for a bit.
1. How'd you choose your name for GT?
- My friends have always said I can be a little bit 'Dizzy' at times 🙈 and I'm from Leeds so I thought it would be the perfect GT name!
2. What interests you most on GT? Do you have a favorite game?
- I've always liked playing 4 in a row, mainly because when I first started playing on GT it was the only game I really knew how to play. I've learned to play & enjoy other games just as much (and I'm still learning) so....it would be hard to pick a favorite!
3. What state or country do you reside in? What do you think tourists should definitely see?
- I'm from Leeds, West Yorkshire, UK . Great Britain
- It's a busy city with lots of shops, cafe's/bars
, nice parks to go for a walk , there's also museums to visit if that's your thing....a little bit of everything for people to enjoy! It's just missing a beach!! 🏖
4. What hobbies do you have?
- I enjoy spending time with family & friends, shopping
, going for walks with the dog 
, going on holiday whenever I can & of course playing on GoldToken!
5. Children? Grandchildren?
- No children...I've got a little Niece & Nephew I spend time with
6. Do you work? What kind of work do/did you do?
- I work in a doctor's
surgery, I take bloods, 
do heart tracings and will be giving flu vaccines in the Winter months!
7. Any pets?
- I sadly lost my dog Max in the Summer last year
, I never thought I'd be able to get another dog as he was my baby, but just before Christmas I got little 'Candy'....I call her Gizzy as she looks just like Gizmo the Gremlin! 🥰
8. Are you under 30?___ 30 to 50? ___ or over 50? Male or Female?
- I'm female...37
9. Favorite food?
- I think Indian food is my favorite but not too spicy! 🥵
10. What's the farthest you've been from home?
- The farthest I've been from home is Turkey or Greece....there are so many places further away I'd love to visit 1 day! ✈️
11. If you could be anywhere right now, where would that be?
- If I could be anywhere right now I think it would be relaxing somewhere nice & warm...preferably by the sea, there is something extra special about being near the sea!
12. Favorite season?
- As much as I like the sunshine
I would say Autumn 
is my favorite season, I like being snuggled up with a hot chocolate by the 
listening to the wind howling & the rain pouring down!
13. Favorite movie?
- I'm not really a big film person but I don't mind a rom-com in the Autumn or Winter when the wind is howling and it's chucking it down....with popcorn and a hot chocolate! 😉
If there are any questions you would like to see asked in future interviews, please let us know.

| Testimonial Of The Month |
| Brought to you by: *GoldToken* Players |
I came here when the site was just starting up. I was a member of IYT, It's Your Turn, which Chad, I think, was a big part of. As I recall, the members of IYT were asked to transition over here to GT. Sure has come a long way since then. We didn't have that many games and the squirrels came much, much later.
I'm retired now so it's nice to have GT as a place to hang out, play some games and even chat a little.
I like to read, write a bit and study languages. I speak Spanish pretty well, some Danish, Norwegian, Swedish and French. There is nothing like watching a movie or show in its native tongue. I really like working in the yard, riding a bike and hanging out with my dog, current boy is named Blue, he also speaks some Spanish now! Sientete! Buen Cachorrito!
That's it, although I have started playing guitar which should help keep the arthritis from getting a foothold in my fingers!
Hope that wasn't too boring. See you in a game sometime!
