Best avatars

I've done this thread before, but it's been a while.

So, which of the current avatars raise a smile??

I like push's avatar - CLICKY.

Re: Best avatars

By posting I immediately nominate my own - the crest of the City Of Manchester. This can be worn on the shirt of only one team soon to be found residing in The Championship

Re: Best avatars

Can't remember who's it is (or even if it's on this forum!), but I like the one that's animated, of a person walking. Simple, but I like it.

Re: Best avatars

Anyway.....I like my "Finding Nemo" avatar, and my "Ferris Bueller" one always tickled me.

I liked the one of LGS, when he was sat surrounded by books in the background - always reminded me of the opening credits of "Murder She Wrote"

Re: Best avatars

Yes, you could imagine LGS' current avatar on the front page of the tabloids, with the headline - "The Butcher of Buenos Aires".............and he does seem to like cooking rather too much for my liking, wonder what (or whom) he keeps in his freezer

Re: Best avatars

I agree with bouncer in that I would appreciate a slightly larger size in avatar, however the existing avatars do serve a purpose - one can quickly see who has posted.

Re: Best avatars

Would be better if it was bigger and we could see more detail...go on mep, have a word in the secret forum. Or is this one of those taboo subjects that, when mentioned, cause raised eyebrows from Stuart and Ian and eviction back into the general population??

I've no idea but I have visited other forums where they are not restricted and you end up with 3 posts per page as peoples egos run wild.
