Dan Leavy, Senior Designer


What did you want to be when you grew up?

A postman (because my grandad was one), also a scientist, and then an archaeologist!

If you could choose your own name, what would you call yourself?

I honestly don’t know. Optimus? :0)

Which cartoon character are you most like?

I would most like to be Danger Mouse! But I’m probably more like Penfold!

What is your drink or drug of choice?

Guinness! Need I say more?

Who was your favourite celebrity as a child?

I had a bit of a thing for Wincey Willis, the weathergirl from TV-am for ages. She read out my name on my birthday once too!

What is your favourite smell?

Probably cut grass. Coffee in the morning is a close second though.

Apart from property, what is the most expensive thing you’ve ever bought?

Probably my old computer. Either that or my third car, a Renault Scenic.

Would you ever consider plastic surgery, and if so, what would you have done?

Can I have Cristiano Ronaldo’s feet?

If you were on ‘The X Factor’, what song would you sing?

‘Blah Blah Blah’ by the Saw Doctors or ‘Pulling Teeth’ by Green Day.

What three things would you take with you to a deserted island?

  1. An iPod with wind-up charger.

  2. My dog, Chip, for company.

  3. A massive jar of Marmite.

If you could travel back in time, what famous event would you like to observe?

Either the 1966 World Cup Final or the 1982 European Cup Final.

Share with us two truths and one lie about yourself...

  1. I have flown a plane (a real one).

  2. I once appeared in ‘The Archers’.

  3. I interviewed my favourite band  – The Saw Doctors – for a newspaper article.
