I love seeing the avatars people use on forums. During the signing up process I remember seeing a suggestion that members to this forum post a personal photo of themselves. I did, but recently I changed to a more abstract one, as have quite a few other members such as paolo, markymark, jacqueline and dan.

So, what is the story behind your avatar?
For me it is quite simple, my daughter loves penguins and I love Liverpool FC, so to find an avatar of a penguin wearing a Liverpool shirt was a natural choice.

My picture is from my honeymoon in Negril Jamaica. In the picture, I'm just about to dig into an unbelievable lunch of curried conch, bammy and festival bread with a side of callalou at Cosmo's - right on da beeech mon!

Well mine is just a joke - of course -
I will update to a new one next week as soon as I have some time to search around for something that I will feel confortable with.

Mine of course is the crest for the wonderful Azzurri. I took them winning the world cup on my birthday as a sign that i am in debt to them forever.

Ciao Sardo,I thought I had one but didn't I just put one in that I thought was there. Mine is of 2 of my brothers and I eating a wonderful meal at a casino before seeing Steeley Dan in concert this past Spring. I also will change my avatar soon. I enjoy your posts and if all works out this year we want to visit Sardenia this fall.

Best Ed

I think I'd better keep very quiet on this one...........................

My avatar was taken at a favorite spot of mine in Rome on Mount Giancolo. I used to come by here often on my way to Villa Pamphili for a run. I'm facing the Fontana dell'Acqua Paola, a grandiose fountain dating to 1612. Behind me is a view not to be missed. You can see numerous domes dotting the city, and also Palazzo Venezia and Castel Sant'Angelo. On a clear day at the right time of year, you can see the Colli Albani, snowcapped hills behind Rome.

Thanks to everyone who has posted so far, keep them coming...

Eduardo, fall is a lovely time to visit Sardinia, maybe we can meet for a drink!

Sardoman has a penguin, Markymark has a sheep...should I get some animal too?

Maybe I will.

As for mine, Paolo changed it for Valentines Day. As a special treat, Paolo can give you a random avatar if you want something different!

And the 2008 Best avatar award goes to .....
I vote for Guido Gangi !
