Woah, he's golden! That's pretty snazzy.

Barton: Have you read the Bible, Pete?
Pete: Holy Bible?
Barton: Yeah.
Pete: Yeah, I think so. Anyway, I've heard about it.

Bull and Frog's turned into an upmarket wine bar so I've changed allegiance to the Rat & Handbag. Weird place, strange clientele, but the beer's cheap and I like the old fashioned decor, sawdust on the floor and that sort of thing. At least that's what I thought until Eric the barmaid (I said it was a weird place) fixed me with her good eye and told me that until last night's brawl, the sawdust was the furniture.........

Recently changed mine from a heron (shrug) to Humphrey Lyttelton. A great jazz musician and all round funny guy who died recently. He'll be missed.

I was lacking a digital photo of myself when I started using forums. Magritte son of man seemed about right as a result lacking a photo. Its always been a paining I've liked. Used it for all the forums I've been signed up to. Seems suitable for a magic forum with that element of mystery.

Jobasha, your avatar always reminds me of a card trick called Mona Lisa's Secret. The theme of the trick is works of art and one of the cards features Magritte's self-portrait.

Just looked that up on google. I liked it, doesn't like there is much too the secret, but its a nice idea. The closest to magic I've seen it in before is the final heist in the rework of the Thomas Crown Affair.

My nickname for years, just took the name from the box of popcorn and did a little crude editing in MS Paint, I'm not cool enough for photoshop.

Mine is still one of the best cartoons ever, Dangermouse. He's wearing a pink tutu and some clown make-up. I believe it's from the Four Tasks of Dangermouse, the first we see of Count Duckula. (I also recently got the entire set on DVD for my birthday, my fiancee just rolled her eyes and said nothing). It's great being older!

I was so shocked yet delighted to see it was on this morning!

my avatar is a picture of my shadow, taken near the opening of Port Aventura on holiday in Salou a couple of years ago. My head isn't a funny shape, I'm wearing a hat...
