Re: Inspiration for Names and Avatars 3Nov 16, 2009 12:55 pm My name here is the username I was given when studying. A strange combination of my initials and part of my surname. My avatar would probably be Matt Bellamy from Muse if I had gotten around to setting one Edit: There that's better. It's from a Tool album.

When i first joined this forum i was actually in hospital for about a week and was missing my kids more than anything and so thats where all the sand came from. Im actually planning on getting a tattoo on my foot with that line on it because its just something that means alot to me. If people are game it would be great if they posted a pic of themselves! It would be great to match a face to a name and see if how you think people would look like is actually anything like what they do actually look like. Re: Inspiration for Names and Avatars 6Nov 16, 2009 1:18 pm I just looked up at the tv saw In the Night Garden (my daughter is addicted to the show) and that's where it came from! If you don't have kids you probably have no idea who IgglePiggle is... but trust me this is one of the more annoying shows on tv Re: Inspiration for Names and Avatars 7Nov 16, 2009 1:23 pm Great Thread! I am called Mr Gum after my 10 year old daughters favourite Book Character. Mr. Gum is a mean, grumpy old man with "two bloodshot eyes that stare out at you like an octopus in a bad cave”. He hates “children, animals, fun and corn on the cob”. His favourite TV show is Bag Of Sticks (a picture of a bag of sticks for half an hour). He is the main villain and friends with Billy William the Third. "Shabba me whiskers" is his favourite phrase. His house is the most untidy in the world, but he has a beautiful garden, because otherwise an angry fairy who lives in his bathroom will attack him with a frying pan. It kind of made sense at the time.
