The perfect avatar

Andrew Colvin said:
All this chat about avatar maybe it is about time I changed my sugar cube and haemoglobin abstract art. So I will let you all decide what it should be. Now is your chance to be as nice or as horrible as you like, I don't mind. Whichever is judged the winner I promise to change to it for at least a month.

The floor is yours!

There was me thinking you had been playing draughts with red draught pieces.

Lol I can't help my lack of artistry. What I really wanted was sugar cubes forming out of the bottom of drops of blood from a vein but there was no way I could manage that.

Haha. Just kidding. I knew what it was, and very impressed that you could think of that abstract, then have the techy skills to produce it.
 
Ok. I feel more robust today, so happy for opinions on an avatar for me.
 
The Robin is one of my favourite birds. My avatar is a photo of my little Robin red breast who sits next to a photo of my daughter when she was a baby :)

Yes, but what does it mean? Have I committed a tremendous faux pas?

In which case I really do apologise!

If the word means something horrible, could we blank it out and replace it?

Feeling bad now...

Don't feel bad, it's actually funny :D It reminds me of a good friend from the US that paired up with me as I spoke fluent "Yank" ;) I had to tell her that in the UK calling someone a "Tw*t" was not synonymous with "mate ":D

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!

Oh no!!!

@Andrew Colvin - I'm so sorry!

I vaguely thought it was to do with showering after exercise (like in the French)

Come out, come out, wherever you are !:D
You are obviously a more refined sort of person than me ;), and it's a genuine mistake, not an insult :D I would imagine if you really wanted to insult someone, it would be far, far, more subtle !
