HillmanImp Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 When reading someones post do you read it in the style of their avatar. 'I ornley arsked' because whilst i don't do it it with everyone i read posts by Mr H Sceptre i do read it in the style of Bernard Bresslaw.
pandamonium Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 I do it with emails, if I know the person's voice. I mentioned this at work and my colleague looked at me like I was mental.
VWPowered Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 i dont look like a scirocco but heres a pic of me to satify your needs yeaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ratfans
Guest Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 Christ knows what people think of my posts, I can only think the avatar adds to the "unhinged" feel.
pogweasel Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 Not so much a chauffer as a japanese cartoon-bodied taxi-driving tiff needell. Or that's how I see it. The Bill Cosby scrappage scheme is totally odd though.
bigstraight6 Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 I once thought Pogweasel was 'old man Steptoe' but nowadays when I read his postage I can't get that awful 'KLF' song with Tammy Wynette and an ice cream van out of my head
Father Ted Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 I wondder if people look at mike and think I say "ooooh Betty" a lot rather than being a lardy northern basket with a Chorley accent.
andrew e Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 I once thought Pogweasel was 'old man Steptoe' but nowadays when I read his postage I can't get that awful 'KLF' song with Tammy Wynette and an ice cream van out of my head I think its justified. And Pog's ANCIENT
Pillock Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 I wondder if people look at mike and think I say "ooooh Betty" a lot rather than being a lardy northern basket with a Chorley accent.I read that as 'lady northern basket, i.e. you were a female.I thought you were going to do a FredTransit on us

Guest Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 I do it with emails, if I know the person's voice. I mentioned this at work and my colleague looked at me like I was mental.I also do this.
Guest Tony Hayers Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 i dont look like a sciroccoI was thinking the same thing, how would a MK1 Sierra sound?! The Bill Cosby scrappage scheme is totally odd thoughNot as odd as the Mike Brewer one. Every time I saw it I thought "Oh shit, not only is he on the telly but now he is on my monitor also FFS"Christ knows what people think of my posts, I can only think the avatar adds to the "unhinged" feelEvery time I see it I can hear a Hyundai Sonata (1990 vintage) impatiently beeping away for the fare outside my house with that chap hanging out of the window.
Parky Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 Whenever I see Negative Creeps Spitfire I hum the theme from 633 Squadron. Yeah, I know, that was Mosquitos but the Elgar piece from "The Battle of Britain" is a bit too complicated.And yes Father Ted, I do think "Ooooh Betty" when I see your Avatar!
pogweasel Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 Interesting concept nonetheless. I do not envisage Seth as Jones the Steam. However I will probably always wonder why Jones the Steam isn't Seth. If you see what I mean. And I now cannot separate RegieRitmo and Fr.Dougal. They are one and the same in my book. As for mine, if you would prefer me to wheel out either Albert Steptoe (You know what son...? I'm older than you are...), or the legendary Mr Trebus again, please just ask!I have also conteplated adding "catweazle" as my old-git-of-choice, but he looks too much like my wizened old father and it scares me.... it's like looking into the future.
Parky Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 Vins avatar is my Dad now. My wife has that to look forward to!
Father Ted Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 And yes Father Ted, I do think "Ooooh Betty" when I see your Avatar!Well, Che-Frank got chosen after I set myself on fire, after the motorbike accident ( that left me with a still very painful and non functioning left wrist - actually i couldnt be gat because whilst I can put the right hand on hip ( where's me lino?) i cant do the limp wristed thing with the left one, so I iook a bit like an effeminate Hitler) Anywy I digress ( Ima member of the local Digressers Anon group where once a week we meet up in the pub and go "hello, my name is Marty and Im a digresser" then we al get pissed) Anyway, i chose Fran after the wife said that being married to me was like being married to Frank Spencer, so it kind of stuck.Previous Avatars have been:
