Although someone may have to explain to me what douchiness is, cos I can't find it in the dictionary[/QUOTE]

Yes, I had an etymological difficulty with that term too. Thought it was referring to a hygiene issue of a personal nature, but on reflection think it means being objectionable.

That makes so much sense - Do you know I even had 2 handfuls at breakfast this morning - just because I could!!! Why do I keep buying them. On the plus side started back on the exercise bike today (just a week earlier than the surgeon said - burnt off 500 kcal! I have put on 2 lbs in the last week but think that is mostly fluid (@Pipp warned me of that) so should be able to remove it fast enough when properly fit

I don't really like my avatar much, it was one of the only copyright free images of a phoenix I could I would have to change my name to change it.
My name has an important meaning for me on this forum so I'll stick with it!
How about the pic of @Andy12345 's tattoo? Or has he copyrighted it?

Oh dear. It gets worse. A hygiene issue?!?

The quicker we organise... er... encourage... Oh, let's be honest, bully
Andrew into his new Avatar, the sooner we can move off this uncomfortable (for me) subject.

So I vote for this:

Just two more votes and we can clean up this issue...
er... rinse away the sordidity...
er... make sure we are squeaky clean and all on the same non-unpleasant screen.​

Not yet @Brunneria we do not yet have enough contenders in the running. There is plenty of time for more insults ;)

Now that would be an interesting and somewhat confusing one to use!

Goodness, there are some stunning Phoenix images out there!

I just Googled 'Phoenix pic' and was blown away by some of them - too many to copy and paste here. Worth checking out...

Some great pictures.
Do I go for a complete change of image?

or perhaps this cuter version ? maybe it might soften my image!

I'm not sure though how you work out copyright status. It might seem daft but for both moral and legal reasons I would like an image that was free to use

Oo-er. Love the sultry ness!
