We have had cuckoos here in the New Forest for a couple of weeks now. It is unseasonably cold though! Walking the Yorkshire 3 Peaks on Saturday, hope it doesn't snow!

Name and avatar are boringly my business name. Now, if the board had been programmed differently it would be possible to change your name and still keep all posts together. :xcomputer: Or if I had more imagination in the first place....... Owning a rare factory output blue painted Morso I might have been, surprisingly - "The Blue Morso".
There's more to the picture, than meets the eye. Hey hey, my my.

Loads of kids were taken out of my kids school yesterday so as they could go and see city's victory parade. When asked by the teacher why that warranted them being taken out of class one mother said it was a once in a lifetime chance :giggle: :giggle:

Good jokes :lol:
Now back on subject :o
It seems to me that framers mostly use an avatar and a nickname
But most suppliers use the "right" picture and "right" name
Apart from our dear Terry Thomas :giggle:

Wonder why it splits like that ?

:D Afternoon,

I use my Avatar as I look just like Zippy. I am amber in colour, have a big mouth with a zip on the side, 2 very large blue eyes and I sleep with a Hippo & a Bear - all quite normal the Doctor tells me. :oops:

Prospero is from the Masque of the Red Death (as played by the Great Vincent Price) which I happened to be watching at the time I was registering for another Forum.

Later I noticed it was an anagram of Peter Robinson.

Prospero is from "The Tempest" by Shakespeare - your Prospero is from Hammer - a small distinction...

Unimportant to some - but a revelation to me...

I had you down as a classicist - but you are a Horror fan - OK - cool - I get it!!!!

Be not afear'd: the isle is full of noises,
Sounds, and sweet airs, that give delight, and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears; and sometimes voices,
That, if I then had waked after long sleep,
Will make me sleep again: and then, in dreaming,
The clouds methought would open and show riches
Ready to drop upon me; that, when I waked,
I cried to dream again.



Nowt like a bit of culture of a Friday night. :yes:

Only just seen this posting.

My mates christened me Bagpuss years ago, when we were on holidays as a bunch of lads, I'd be the one who would get up early, staggering to the bathroom and generally making noise to wake everyone else up and as we all know, when BAGPUSS wakes up, all his little friends wake up as well ! :clap:
My real name is Adam Laver aka "Adam The Picture Framer", just in case you were unsure ; )
