I'm amazed you lot can't find out who Ian's avatar is a picture of

Clue: it's not him and it's not the Stig



PS.There is no such thing as a Personal Identification Number number

Re: Things you've always wanted to know about members but were scared to ask!
That's fine Dony It just seems an odd thread, as if people expect Ian to suddenly answer

back on topic:

I've always wondered whether bank managers know what PIN is an acronym of.

Re: Things you've always wanted to know about members but were scared to ask!
I typed Ian J into the following image search engines....

Google



----------------------------

Yahoo



----------------------------

Facebook



----------------------------

Flickr



----------------------------

Altavista



-----------------------------

Picsearch



------------------------------

I kind of think it's either the first one or the last one.

What percentage of mods DON'T have an avatar which makes them out to be cooler, harder, cleverer or sexier than they really are?
