What's your avatar all about? - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

A lot of people on here have avatars - you know, those little pictures that appear to the left of your posts. Ranging from the weird to the wonderful to the grinning black man, the avatars here are varied. But what do they mean? Why did you choose the avatar you have? What IS it?

My avatar is a picture of Ian Wright, grinning very happily because he's probably just found a fiver or something. I chose a picture of him as my avatar because he always says the most hilarious, un-P.C. things live on TV.

So, what about you? What's your avatar all about?

Mine is a cry for freedom, a yearning to escape the shackles and restraints of society.

Analoguesat's is about beer.

Much the same then!

I recently discovered MAME, and my son and I have been playing a classic from yonks ago.
Exactly as the original.

Banks's are a wolverhampton based brewery, and uniquely sells more mild than bitter. Overt he years Ive drunk gallons of their delicious malty mild. My folks always bring a crate of 24 tins up with them when they come up to visit!

Mines a limited edition car. Limited, because who the hell wants to buy a car with a big orange mouth on it :? Especially for £18000 new

Well, not me cause I only got it second hand, and then only because it was bloody cheap

If only I'd known then what I know now :

Mine is that magic moment when Sir Alex thought Tevez had scored an equaliser in the closing minutes of the Manchester Derby a few weeks ago only to find out the handsome devil had headed it wide from 6 inches out.

As you will no doubt be aware, January King is a hardy winter cabbage and not even severe frost seems to bother it. It will thrive on almost any well drained ground, but prefers a medium to light soil which will maintain a reasonable amount of water. It is a most dependable Winter cabbage variety.

Sort of sums it up, although I prefer the warmer weather of summer really!
