Tell me about your avatar.

I had always assumed it was you, planting you firmly in the nobber category. I will have to review the situation.....

Did you think I regularly went about with a beard drawn on with marker pen and my underpants on my head? I can see why you thought I was a nobber.

edit - zoltan, zirdar, or soemthing like that?

That's the one. Zardoz. For those what haven't seen it here's Connery:

Neuva Palmira Uruguay. Visited there around 2007...the place ( towns away from Montevideo) is awash with old old cars. This was a circa 1931 Chevrolet pickup, still in use. The Uruguayan flag on the doors was just so eye catching.
Also saw a circa 1910 motorcar, like a motor carriage driving along, with the old style large spoked wheels and fold back roof like something out of the old Laurel and Hardy movies. It was a time capsule there.

A newtish creature, carved out of bone, just over an inch long so not very big.

Yours reminds me of one of those Escher drawings, Reptiles or Metamophose, that sort of thing.

Mine is me, taken by @Mice at Newhaven, although I rarely wear that hat, favouring my FNRTTC compliant Walz cap.

It's a vintage lady on a vintage bike, I suppose it's vintage erotica in a sense. It reminds me of better days and how I'd like to time travel to that era.

My little doggie.

As a child I would always ask the ice cream man for a Flake 99 please.

It's a manatee. I'm not called Hugh either.

This is a photo that I took in my garden of a favourite rose. When I first joined Cycle Chat I used a picture of the bike I was riding at the time, but this is more individual. I have changed my avatar at Christmas and a pie with pi on it after Vernon died.

It would be a nice feature to have the option to save previous avatar pictures in your profile information, so it would be eassier to change back after a tempory change.

I can just about cope with a change every now and then..

I had some correspondence regarding a German cruise ship flying the flag in your avatar on a visit to my local area. It was a slow day so I wrote to the shipping company asking why they were flying the flag of a Canadian province in a UK port. They replied to say their Officer of the Flags had seen Scotia on the label of the flag doocot and assumed it was the Scottish flag. On a previous visit the same ship had been flying an inverted Union flag, I'm not sure which was the greater sin.
My avatar is an Isolated Danger buoy marking the wreck of HMS Natal, a British armoured cruiser which sank following a mysterious explosion around 100 years ago. My home is in the background, I think
