I was just impressed with the way you managed to photograph your foot at such an angle. Contortionist?
 
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 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 "

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