It is maize in the photo - that was last year!

Actually I've already appeared in a forum calendar!!! We did one last year (for this year) on a Brittany forum. But before you get all worked up (Martin!!), it wasn't that kind of calendar!

Well all I can say is, from the photos that have been presented of the ladies, as a group they could best be described as...............hot! :mrgreen:

I am being un professional here I know but there you have it!

As for my avatar......that is me! Andy, Dave, Muddy and Wulf can testify to that fact! It is a couple of years old, suppose I have a few more greys in the beard though.

For ages, I kept trying to download an image of my choice ... wouldn't have it ... settled for Scooby Doo in the end ... no reason other than I wasn't impressed with most of the other choices.

Was thinking about this thread the other day and wondering not about the avatars this time but why have people chossen the usernames they have? Obviously, some are quite clearly their own names but what are the reasonings behind the others?

The fee fairy came about at uni - i can't remember how now, but the name stuck and i've used it ever since.

and here's me (on the right)

On the left is my best friend, Vicky. We were at the Electric ballroom and slightly worse for wear here...

The first avatar i had :

That's me too - not that you can see my face.
Then i went for the sparkly fairy to go with the username, then shaun the sheep for the knitting, and now i've got the croplifters sign - it was at BGG and it tickled me every time i walked past.

M3 - don't take this the wrong way, but you so don't look like i expected you to!!!

I always imagined you to have dark hair for some reason, not look like you should be presenting a TV gardening show!!

Well Red, you should be blue. That's what the Aussies would be calling a red head anyway.

I show a Kiwi cos that's what I am, and I call myself Jack cos that's who I am.

If I showed my face on here I should pick the username as Gargoyle.

But aint Fairy a little beauty.

Hi
Thomzo came about when I first started at Farepak. We had this really wierd e-mail system and usernames were the first 4 letters of your surname and the first 2 letters of your first name. It sort of stuck and became a bit of a nick name.

The avitar of the strawberry was the first strawberry I picked this year and I just loved it. The old one was my garden in the snow, I love that photo and it's my wallpaper on my computer at work.

This is me by the way. The only photo I have on the computer at the mo and it's a bit glammed up cos I used it for a dating site.
