Explain your choice.

Friedrich Hayek was a wonderful economist.

[Giggles]

My younger brother Harry. RIP.

The picture made me lol. I've had it for over three years now which must be a record for me. My favourite ever avatar was my TR one of James with a moustache, but that must have died with whatever was left of the place.

[Ian]

I used to open a thread in the build up to New Year running a poll for people to vote on which Ian should be my avatar for the year (from a selection I'd put up to avoid the obvious votes for Watkins, Huntley, etc.)

Only one of these happened on the new board it seems: https://www.thethirdhalf.co.uk/showthread.php?753-Pick-Ian-s-2016-Avatar-Superstar!

But according to this thread (https://www.thethirdhalf.co.uk/showthread.php?378-The-story-behind-your-Avatar&p=24515#post24515) a) I'd run it each of the three years before that and b) the previous winner had been Ian Hislop. If this has been my fourth I honestly can't remember who else I had. But out of a combination of laziness and thinking it'd be hard to improve upon the good doctor Malcolm I haven't changed it in ages.

[Ian]

That second thread also reminded me that's when Benny / Mr Chorizo revealed he'd been slowly updating his Ainsley Harriott avatar with more zoomed in ones to see if anybody noticed. :D

[Danny]

Starts a thread asking people to explain their avatar. Doesnt explain their own :nono:

[Spikey M]

Mine requires no explanation.

Justice for Ian Kognito.

As for mine, I just found it funny how weird Crouch's face is when he's howling in laughter.

Because I have the required swag to pull it off (Christmas edition).

For the second time.

[Mellberg]

Just checking.

[Mellberg]

Ah okay then.

[mugbull]

Friedrich Hayek was a wonderful economist.

Nah.

But Gesaffelstein is a wonderful producer

[igor_balis]

you're standing on my neck

[Luca]

Nah.

But Gesaffelstein is a wonderful producer

Gesaffelstein is indeed.

Some respect for the greatest economist of the 20th Century, mate. :cool:

[Shindig]

It used to be that other bloke who did Bargain Hunt. Now I run with nothing.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I thought it summed up my TTH persona rather well. Awful for my IRL persona. I don't really like tea.

[The Merse]

We moved to this place just before a world cup, this pic was taken in the Scotland training camp publicly around that time, for some reason it struck a chord for 5 minutes.

[Mazuuurk]

Spawn is probably the coolest comic book (anti)hero of all time.

[niko_cee]

The excellently named journeyman Baron Davis was leading the plucky underdog Golden State Warriors to an unexpected post-season victory over top-ranked Dallas at the time I believe, if I still have him. How things have changed.

[Bernanke]

I liked Archer a lot at the time, but got no fucking clue why I went with this specific one, don't think I ever used it on any other site.

[Offshore Toon]

There is an explanation but mostly it was just a decent dog.

[Adamski]

Wanted to get it as a tattoo (and never)

[-james-]

I find Joanna Newsom pleasing to look at.

[phonics]

When I was setting up the forums this was the picture on my desktop that fit the requirements.

[Yaysus]

phonics got angry at a pic of a cat with an ok hand instead of a paw so I updated it

Who were you on the old board?

[bruhnaldo]

I turned off avatars so it would be less obvious I'm fucking off at work but then one day realized I hadn't an avatar on the new website so I chose Sade because she's cool.

My old avatar of Pepe smoking a cigar in a sweater and polo was ruined by the alt-right racists.

[Disco]

The Mansell 'stache because he's great and so are moustaches.

[Baz]

Mine's a robot reading a book that someone else used to use on The Dugout.

Feel like I'd get the siren on QI for this, but is it not the Chicago Bulls logo upside down?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It is.

[Ian]

That's just blown my damn mind.

[Spikey M]

It's definitely a robot reading a book.

[bruhnaldo]

I clicked Baz' profile to see the Bulls logo and he's got his face like straight from an FM facepack in there lmao

It's Luke Emia all over again.

[SvN]

It was the best photo of Cantona I could find in 2005 when I rejoined TD.

[Lofty]

I wasn't using one, might look for a crude one now. Every time Spikey posts I get confused :D

[Shindig]

Lofty, there's only one choice for yours.

[Lofty]

Only if I can't find something better, just spent ages trying to compress a barely SFW gif down but given up on that now.

[Baz]

I clicked Baz' profile to see the Bulls logo and he's got his face like straight from an FM facepack in there lmaoThat’s exactly what it was for. :)

[Raoul Duke]

Mine is Raoul Duke, as played by Johnny Depp from Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas

[bruhnaldo]

Well that kinda dims the star a bit for someone who hasn't seen the movie

[Yaysus]

Who were you on the old board?

same name, didn't post a lot

[Pleb]

Superted.
