The totally off-topic thread

[whatmeworry]

Isn't that a job in Canberra?

In any case, a bit political for this thread. Plus you could say the same if we opted to build offshore - guaranteed to lose 1 job in Adelaide

More sarcasm then political.

But when you quote someone their old avatar shows up.

I don't see an avatar when I quote a post. I only see the old avatar when going to the member's profile page.

This is what I see in the app

Ahh. Well that explains it then. I don't like the app. I prefer to use the full website version.

I should get an avatar?

Should I get an avatar?

Yes please.

Choose one and keep it. I don't like all these changes either.

I'm using one of the default avatars and I'm not planning to change it. The only reason I'd change it would be if another regular poster decided to use it and we were regularly posting in the same thread.

I like my avatar as it reflects the fact that I like to write and the closest thing I have to writing at the moment is posting on AFF and a few other web sites.

The 'zero' birthday you are referring to is of course your 40th
Good luck with the flying clearance - when were you supposed to be travelling? I thought June????

40th is so last century! :mrgreen:

I've already started running.

I'd been thinking about it for a while and now seemed like a good time with everyone changing

That is gold! And blackcat20 was commenting about GPH weeks ago. The cat has changed her stripes. Or is that leopard and spots? Same family.

Well I have no intention of changing anytime soon. Not until my trip to Billund, at least.

If you can't beat them, join them
I keep wondering who the person with the cat avatar is then realising its me

I feel your pain....

 

[medhead]

Well happy.
Looks like we'll help a young scientist from Nepal to get to an international conference. Can't wait to meet him.

Something totally different from changing avatars....
We grew up with Simon and Garfunkel and have seen them several times over the years. Dr LtL sent this link - we think it is fantastic. The song is now 50 years old and this makes it so current. Love it.

That's a very interesting version. The vocals are harsh in my opinion but at least the cover sticks to some of the original style of the song. I prefer a blending of voices with this song so I prefer the original. Someone at YouTube has just made some money for me. I just watched the version above, the original album recording (audio but no moving video) from the 1960s, a TV appearance from the 1960s and a live recording from either 2009 and 2010. I love voices which blend together really well and I think that's why this is one of my favourite songs.

 

[love_the_life]

Love the original but this version has something different about it that appeals to me.

We can lose hours on YouTube looking at old clips!

Should I get an avatar?

To make a short answer that allowes a posting, No!

But then again it seems to be popular. I'm so thinking of another vendemmia di Sassicaia!
