Avatars and stuff

I've really enjoyed this avatar thing. I didn't think I would, but I have.

From 1960s logos, various hornet pictures, flags, modes of transport, the (with apologies ) strange wanderings of wear_yellow's mind, to my current favourite, Golden Gordon's Hornetised Ripping Yarn pic.

I've sent a few messages to people about ones I've liked, and a few interesting conversations have begun. I thought it might be interesting to open it up a bit.

Mine's pretty simple, it's my favourite photo of Sir Luther - it seems to capture, for me, his inspirational nature, his integrity.

How would you explain yours and which others do you like and why?

 

I love Hornette's avatar, too, should've said. But that whole tightly clad female super-hero has embarrassing effects that wouldn't impress Mrs SLB... Actually I should enlarge on that...

Erm, I'm going to finish this post before I get into real trouble .

 

do you like my dog, Osca

 

Very much, Syd. Is he a 'senior' canine ?

 

lol...i can't even claim credit for it, it was a gift from Northolt . But i definitely agree, i love a lot of them, though some on other boards aren't quite so entertaining! lol

 

You wouldn't want one of me even in a superhero costume

 

was that in part payment for the ..ahem....ticketing arrangement....no club officials looking I hope

 

Glad you liked mine and got the reference. Turned out better than I hoped. Also looking at clips on Youtube I got the sig about the shorts. SLB and I have been remembering how good this is

I like the cartoons, Hornette and Sandy, and now after SLB's wink, would love to know: what is it about Stalin, Wear Yellow?

 

GG, do I need to start a thread on 'signatures' Goodbye shorts, hello football . Great clip, haven't seen it for a few years .

 

Thats awesome Gordon ,hilarious even, I`ve not seen those before, will watch some more this evening

 

When they were originally broadcast, there was no laughter track. If you buy the DVD, which I got for about a fiver, you can watch with or without. IMHO, it's better without. I only know how it was originally broadcast because I recorded it with my cassette recorder pressed close to the speaker on its first broadcast in the 1970s. I used to listen to that tape incessantly. Great stuff. David Leland is fantastic in his delivery of that speech. The bloke crying was a sergeant in Juliet Bravo. Bill Fraser is hilarious as the scrap merchant, and Roger (somebody) is fabulous as the returning hero. Must watch it again, it's great.

 

er............

mines two ross jenkins.........??????????????????

 

The history of my avatar is a true Cinderella story.

It was the first one I could find that fitted.

 

NNW .

 

That is too deep for me, tworossjenkins. Is it because... Oh my goodness... There are two...

 

two ............. at the moment..........!!!!!!!

 

Well, it is a proper Hornet I suppose.... til I put together something a bit better

 

Possibly?

 

not at all, as if i would! lol...no, it was just a friendly gesture

 

I know , only joking!
