Happy Jack Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 All that time and effort spent matching up forum names to avatars, and in some cases even noting their real names, and then people go and change their bloody avatar! Why? What's wrong with you? Are you so bored that you could find nothing else to do today? We need a software update. Any avatar left unchanged for a year and a day should be autoconverted into an Avatar Tattoo that cannot be changed or amended without a long and expensive treatment. That'll show the bastards. ps: Just in case Dad3353 thought this might be aimed him, damned right it is! These are called smiley faces. They mean that there's no need for anyone to take this too seriously. On the other hand, it the cap fits ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[attachment=202065:Dad1_Hofn_Half.jpg] [attachment=202066:Big.gif] [attachment=202067:Smal_DSC00382.jpg] In the interest of honesty, I can no longer purport to being the charming svelte fellow in the first, nor the hyper-active bloke in the second pic. I'm now (and for quite a while...) the [s]ageing[/s] aged duffer in the third. Exception, of course, for any post-Christmas update after a bout of 'Secret Santa', assuming anyone offers me anything, which is not a given...

Dad3353 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 A subsidiary question strikes me... Should I be worried or pleased that my choice of avatar solicits more comment than the contents of my posts..? Hmm... ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leftybassman392 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Mine's not me. It's a Hiccup, and will remain so until I can't remember where this forum is anymore. Come to think of it, it'll still [b]be[/b] a Hiccup even after I [b]have[/b] lost the plot. That way I'll be able to stay forever young in the eyes of my fellow Basschatterers...

Happy Jack Posted October 5, 2015 Author Share Posted October 5, 2015 Guys, guys, guys, I have NO problem with those who haven't changed their avatar since Gordon Brown was PM (yes EBS_freak, I'm looking at you). My rant is reserved for those who establish their avatar over many years, and then throw me completely by changing it, usually to something completely unrelated. At least Douglas replaced one picture of himself drumming clean-shaven to another of him getting his sticks caught in his beard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
