Avatars.....

In the time I was away everyone seems to have spawned an avatar. For the benefit of all present, what is your avatar and why did you choose it?

Mine is simply me on a night out in London with some mates. Chosen cos it was the best pic I had of me, and I would have had one of Chiba Mamoru from SailorMoon looking like he's been kicked in the nuts (which I used to use on another forum), but the avatar site hosting it dissappeared and I couldn't find a good replacement.

Mines just because I like Cricket and I thought it might confuse people from America.

Of course when I say I like Cricket, what I mean is I like sitting in the Sunshine Drinking beer, or as is more likely in the UK not sitting in the sunshine but still drinking beer. I can't play the game because it makes your beer spill. People have the wrong idea about Cricket!

I had this handy sub-atomic hydrogen dioxide impleller lying around when I was in "Flash Gordon" mode at a Floats Day from Uni...

Saw N9210's moving cog wheels and decided I wanted an animated avatar too. That wa sthe start of a learning curve. Grim Reaper caught my eye when I first saw it. Then I had to figure out how to cut the file size to 40% of original to get inside the 6 kB limit.

I tried to put on an avatar, but it seems to have broken rafe's forum and now we can all see the inner working of the forum. Not as hi-tech as he likes to makes out!!!

SwitchBlade looks cool as a mot#%&�!"#8) �
And Ewan-FreEPOC...HA HA HA HA .....Gives me a laugh everytime . 😃

Well ....doooooo...

Mine is me too on a night out .... 😃
I don�t remember if that was taken the night the bus hit me, or if it�s from the night the bike lost the front wheel and I took a 36� yard free flight into a lightpole...

NAAAAAAAAA.....:P
Mine is just 2 pics ...1 where I look up and 1 where I look down ....Then layered in Photoshop and a 3�rd layer for a transperant background..Then bake at 230 C for 12 min and save as transperant .gif..

But avatars are truely a cool thing on a forum (thanx Rafe)....Love the way it gives all a little personality 😉

Euh... It was on one of those hot Greek Summer Drinking Nights...
I guess something want wrong !!! But still trying to figure what !!! Can one please give me a clue ???

Filakia.

My avatar is a photo taken of me whilst enjoying one of my regular pasttimes, the sport of hang-glider skittles.

Er, no, it isn't is it?

It might be Wallace, or should that be Grommit, but it's is one of them and it does look kind of geeky unlike my chiselled chinned Vin Diesel look-a-likey self. I didn't dare use one of my me in reality, none of you would speak to me again due to jealousy.

Some of the above may be untrue.
