No offense intended at all, but;

Every time I see Peranders avatar out of the corner of my eye I always think it is a shiny Baboons ***

Makes me giggle like a little girl every time

What part of the South West are from?

For all none Brits the South West is only a couple of hundred miles across with my home town of Bristol in the Middle.

With all due respect, shouldn't this thread be in the off topic?

BTW I thought that were the Bulls' testicles at first sight, no?

Sorry, my ignorance showing through. By all means move this thread.

Hiya Dave, are you a native Bristolian? I myself was born in Southmead Hos and live out near Longwell Green.

It's a small world and it's getting smaller ...

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Living stones are cool, made for the person who thinks that's it's too much work watering cacti. Lithops needs almost no water.

 

[Ricren]

Me too

I once asked Peranders what that avatar was, because I had the same impression like you but I did not want to tell him about this because he's a nice fellow and I was afraid to make him fell bad, but now that you mention it, yes.

OK, I knew that really, I have one on my kitchen window - a small brown one sitting amongst various cacti !!!
I will have to keep my eye open for a pink one to keep it company ...
BTW - that's a nice spread you have there, P-A.

Of course, everyone recognises my avatar ......
(actually I forget the name, but it was about 300mm across, photo taken in Madeira)

I'm glad it's not just me! I didn't want to say anything either in case it resulted in, "So, you think all these Rorschach tests look like a monkey's posterior. I think we may need to do some more tests."

It seems that maybe this is mostly an English thing!!

Peranders,

Thanks for the giggle.
