What does your Avatar mean?

For all those of you who are members of the BIS, you'll see the picture much bigger when you get your yearbook.

You and your shameless populist rhetoric!

I'm just glad you've changed yours from the upside down shark

Mine's a pic of a pheasant. I like pheasants, and had just posted a good recipe in the recipe thread.

I've just turned 40, so here is my Birthday Cake. Cycling and Cake. See what my wife did there?

 

[ufkacbln]

We were in a Church with or nieces and nephews.

I was explaining about the various carvings and what they meant.

One of them found a "Green Man" and shouted "THis one looks like you"

The rest, as they say, is History

 

[TVC]

I see myself in Munch.

Mines me, taken one winter teatime by my good wife just after I had arrived home.

Real photo of Miss Bonnie Parker. Love the nonchalance, her pose and the car.

Which brings us neatly to the point that the meaning of our avatars is largely outside our control. The pata negra piggie is the third incarnation of a porcine device of multifarious intent and uncertain effect, but I like it. It's odd reading this thread on a mobile, where the skin uses people's messenger avatar if they have one, and nothing if not - Cubist is talking about invisible pheasants, and you are addressing Lili Brik as if she were a shark-pig...

I should have had that one!



Mine is when I was a rider for Team Sky.

Dream on

I'll give you some clues as who my avatar is. He is Manchesters most famous cyclist and at one point the worlds most famous cyclist

He had a velodrome named after him and got a OBE. He was also a member of a local club 'Manchester Wheelers' and even built his own bikes as a buisness.

I think he won his last race at the age of 55 in 1976 and died some time in the 70's ?

Mine is a Citroen Dyane being driven as they should be, ie blasting round a corner on the doorhandles. It's not significant beyond the fact that I've had a long standing love affair with small Citroens, which is still ongoing.

Can't be Reg Harris. He was born in Lancashire and died in 1992.

Correct ! Reg Harris. I did not know he lived into the 90's

OK , Lancashire, Bury I think ? Part of Greater Manchester ?
