Because then
I Like Skol would say "
Funny, your face looks like a cake in your avatar". (You'd have to have been on the ride to understand that comment!)
People do actually come up to me, having recognised me from my picture. I can't see them approaching my table at a cafe stop and talking to my slab of chocolate cake!
I do accept that it is how I look. I don't like getting old, but I am, so there you go.
I had a few people saying that I didn't look 60 in my old picture. Clearly I didn't
then because it was taken 10 years ago. I decided that it would be simpler just to update the picture.
Really? One photo looked as though I was suffering from a bad case of piles, another that I was chewing a wasp, and the third like an out-take from a remake of
Goodfellas!
The new one is all I could come up with in the 7 milliseconds that I had left after triggering the camera timer and running into position. I did it about 4 or 5 times. That is the best of the bunch and I really can't be bothered to get the tripod back out and go through it again. It will do for now.
