Mrs Frugal Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Don't worry about it Annie. We're used to you dancing about in those shades!! There aren't that many chickeny avatars out there and there are several duplicates (even triplicates) on the forum that no one minds at all. I started off with the blue crowing cockerel!

Louise Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 When someone else started with that one Kate it threw me as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I remember that well!!! I don't think there's much danger of anyone wanting my SuperKate, do you!! I wear my big knickers with pride but I think others may be a little more reticent about airing their undies in public - superpants or not!!

Louise Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Quite a few people don't have chicken avatars Sarah, I couldn't find one that wasn't already in use so I went for one that reminds me of my youngest cat Mr Chips. He waltzes in at 3am announcing his arrival at the top of his little lungs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louise Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Hi Gina okay first the underwear story!! It was a halloween party thrown by a friend whos husband is the groundskeeper of a cemetary which is a great old house on the top of the hill in the middle of the graveyard well spooky I decided to go as a black cat and was mulling this over at work and my boss said I have just the thing for you The next day she brought in this all in one black clingy number which she had never worn and I took it home and consulted my OH and he said go for it so I did only problem was to leave the house I had to get lets just say a bit merry and passed out about an hour into the party on a chair and missed the whole thing It was a few years ago and I did look rather good The its a knockout won't involve chicken suits but they are doing sumo wrestling in the big suits the big cotton buds thingys from gladiator and the five legged egg and spoon race as well as a few others Its being held over the road on waste ground so yes Gina you can come and watch what time do you fly in I can come to the airport to pick you up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Well, I've just read my newsletter for this week, and I must say that that is a tasty bottom (ooooh, before the watershed) modelling the boxers - who could it be? I saw Simon from Omlet briefly yesterday, but was far too polite to peer at his backside (and hadn't seen the newsletter yet anyway). Any guesses as to who it is? I reckon that there should be a poll and a prize - what do you think? Do they classify as big pants? Clare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicola H Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Well if you look at the bottom of the page you can send off for a signed photograph and the email address is Simons so at a guess I would say it is Simons bum..............And yes I have emailed him for a signed photograph I have made a space for it on my desk in anticipation.......
