Well @Spiker we need to change yours because every time I look at your avatar I see the look on your face as you stab another needle in. Very disconcerting for all!
Even more disconcertingly, Andrew, that's also exactly what I look like when I'm not stabbing another needle in!

I'd like to say I look like this :

But who the hell wears a tartan skirt for work half way up a bl**dy mountain ??:eek:

The reality is this :

Argh, my illusions are shattered. I was sure you were the tart-an shepherdess. But I guess wellies and a woolly hat had to enter the picture somewhere.

I love your new avatar though Signy. I think we can see the real you now!

Well just to avoid disconcerting @Andrew Colvin more than absolutely necessary, I was thinking of downgrading to this avatar - what do you think:

NOOOOO!!!!

That picture is totally without the wit, charm and oozing sex appeal that we know and love in your usual avatar.

Please don't change. You would break hearts all over the forum (including mine)!

Getting old and everything that goes with it. All the repeats on TV. The drongos who ring me up to sell me things. Religious havens for pedophiles and war-mongers.

My foot would go like this but I use a pedi pro on it to prevent the build up of dry skin. Your photo prompted me to look at mine and yep needs a quick going over.

Asda sell a thing like a sander called a pedi pro for 20 quid and it's fab. I use it with the body shop peppermint intensive foot rescue. Not cheap but lasts ages. Works well.

My feet are dry rather than cracked but Simplyfeet Foot Cream is good for moisturising. I also used to get cracking around the creases in my finger joints when gardening etc, and found that Clapham's Beeswax barrier hand cream (before and/or after) was very helpful.

Nah, sorry to disappoint, but that's the "Celebrity Competition", the ones us working bods like to poke pointy sticks at .

(Imagine a bunch of shepherds , huddled in the glow of a roaring TV, beer and popcorn in hands :)

"Look at that bloody manicure, I bet those hands never delivered a lamb in sub zero temperatures in a crack in the dry stone wall "

"Look at the b*lls on that! Can't see 'em, can ya? Ower ram has MUCH bigger ..."

"How the hell can ye see what you're doing with all that hair blowin' about in yer face ? "

"She don't look right, can't put m'finger on what's wrong ...". "Her nose comes to a point in the middle of her face " "No, that's not it, though yer right aboot the nose. That's it! She's clean!:eek: "

You get the picture ;)

Nay, nay, a thousand times nay!
Why replace an avatar of a fine figure of a man, someone to aspire to? Ye gods, the sex appeal of the man!:eek::grumpy:
Father Dougal looks , well, too scrubbed !:rolleyes:

Change your avatar, @Spiker, and I'll morph to Mrs. Doyle, or worse, Bishop Brennan !

I agree with @Brunneria. You'll break MY heart if you do @Spiker! I like looking at your avatar, sure does capture 'my attention' ;)
I also like @sanguine 's avatar too inspired by mark Rothko :D
