Should I change my Avatar?
A while back Nev (Wombat) asked if should shave his beard off, the forum spoke and he still have a beard.
Not quite the same but I am wondering if I should change my Avatar? I am guessing not everyone wants to see me on the loo, although I am surprised that not many people have mentioned it.

Re: Should I change my Avatar?
not that bothered tbh. I like seeing people's avatars (and making my own) but it's not really my thing to dictate to someone what they should do with their picture lol!

Well that's five people who think I should but don't want to talk about it. I wonder if one of them is my mum.

I voted for the third option.
I think avatars are a reflection of our characters and yours shows your sense of humour.
That and the fact that you're a little bit loopy!

Re: Should I change my Avatar?
FWIW...
I voted "yes, change", but only because you appear to be rather pointy headed in my Firefox browser. Seems the aspect ratio isn't quite 100%. Or am I the only one? So change: correct the aspect ratio. No change: please do keep the pic. Apart from the pic being squeezed I have no problems with your avatar

Re: Should I change my Avatar?
I voted for you to change it because it is really not the picture I have in my head of you... I have a mental image of everyone on the site. My prefered Andy image is sitting on the park bench reading.

Re: Should I change my Avatar?
Well you certainly need to resize it to make it the same size as the Good Life logo so the posting area won't be wonky (and so should everybody else). I hate the ragged edges of the forum!
I voted to change it as I don't particularly like it - prefer you with your veggies and sunflowers.

Re: Should I change my Avatar?
Well as no one went with a No as in keep it I decided to change it. Quite glad really as I had decided to change it anyway
Now that is me on a bike in an area known as Severn Beach. I have cropped out the huge chemical works that I am standing next to as there were enough toxic materials in the last avatar.

Well, I liked it! but the new one is good too!
The guys at work are hassling me about the "shave for a cure" thing, about shaving my beard. On of our subcontractors pledged $300 if I would!
