I've always been curious about why people choose their particular photograph to go with their posts. And why some people don't put any photo up.
Even if you're choosing one of your own photos, you're making a decision about whether to post one from when you were younger or as you are today, and that's interesting.
Lord Bony's was of Peter Cushing, and I've no idea why, Darran for example posted a photo of him that would have been a great icon.
Mine is simple enough, I grew up in Gowerton and that's an Irish Water Spaniel (the largest of the spaniels) that reminds me of long, hot summers and splashing around in rivers.
So Karnataka, Lohengrin and everyone else, what's the story behind the photo? And I've always wondered why Lohengrin's pic is Godfrey from Dad's Army.

I enjoyed it, if enjoy is the right verb to use. He seemed haunted by his experiences on the Somme and it was a dark shadow that stalked him all his life. | |

My avatar is a portrait of a man with a very limited, insular and bleak outlook who also wrote some of the tenderest lines of poetry known to man. We shared a certain type of childhood. 'Unspent' in the man's own words. He also talked of 'time torn off unused' which gives me the heeby jeebies every time I recall the phrase. | | | |

Hmmmm, don't see the Debbie Harry likeness at all myself tbh. (BTW, pedant alert, she never went by the name of Blondie, that was the name of her band)
I know yours is Philip Larkin but when I first saw it, I thought it was Eric Morcambe! | | | |

I thought Pego's was Baldrick. Should have gone to barnard. | |

Picture of George Best taking a corner at the Vetch along with an assortment of oddballs looking on from the sidelines. A time capsule.... | |

Al Swearengen is one of the best characters in one of the best TV series of all time. Endlessly rewatchable and quotable. | |
| Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back. |

To be fair you didn't survive in them days if you weren't.
I doubt he had McShane's charm though, else he'd have been blowing Doris Day in the windy city, for sure. | |
