Okay, so this is just a blatant excust to take the piss out of Fingers for having a fairy as his (her? eheh) avatar, but even so...

Some of them are pretty obvious but anyone got any interesting explanations for the more esoteric avatars??

I just like the pin sharp kitten and the interchangeable perils he faces. Some days he chased by domos, other days he in a mine field or chased by gun toting eggs.......a bit like life really.

Mine is Chow Yun Fat from 'The Killer' by John Woo - IMHO the original and best gun-crazy, high body count film going. The likes of Tarantino have been copying it ever since. Check that shizzle.

There's a John Woo film I want to watch again but can never remember what it's called. I think it's all filmed in B&W and there's lots of action in a boatyard with what look like big old abandoned battleships? Any ideas?

TommyTT - I recognised Fat, couldn't pick which film it's from though. Used to watch those with a friend who was well into that stuff. Hard Boiled, The Killer, City On Fire and others....pretty cool stuff. There was one that Resevoir Dogs ripped huge chunks off.


Bonjoy - ah, but does the kitten ever get chased by...................BEES??




Mine - the Fiend from Quake, best computer game ever...."In essence, organic buzzsaws, rife with pummelling power". Nerdy, yes =).

Defo one of the classiest directas in the bizz, Mr Woo - loving his work on the white doves front as well. IMHO I think he's managed to do the most credible bit of mainstream cinema rock climbing as well (MI2) - i heard Tom Cruise got well into it after doing that film.

In fact, gave him the numbers on Trackside the other week...

Mine may appear to be an ordinary picture of Stanage with a League of Gentlemen reference pasted in front. But if you look very closely you may just be able to spot the naked figures of Kate Moss, PJ Harvey and Anne Widdecombe simul-soloing Tippler Direct in the background. What a day that was!

not my graffiti but I wish it had been.

Goose Fair, Rock City, ay up me duck, two crap footy teams, Wayowayoomph, Robin Hood (don't get me started), New Years Eve in the fountains, Broadmarsh banks, Kelly from Strelley and a castle?

What a load of crap.

Mines just temporary untill I find something better- it's an illustration of the pernicious nature of the Golden Ratio.

The Pharaoh because I like to delude myself that I'm the master of Egyptians (It could have been Houdini: cos I've got locks cracked, or the Staticstician: I used to do maths and lock every move)- I just think its a bit of fun! :P

Nottingham, also home to: Selectadisc, Games Workshop, the mighty Earache records, and the nicest uni campus in the UK. Which has some appeal if you're a bit of a nerd...
