Wrong on all 3 counts Debsy - as I said I posted a photo of myself somewhere once.

Hair - brownish; moustache; nae specs (well, reading glasses, £2.99, no rims)!

I tower over you (by 2 or 3 inches!) and come in half a stone more. Mrs OzT wouldn't like me divulging height and weight details but I'm taller and heavier than her is all I will say.

They may indeed make you taller Badge, but don't wear them when trying to sign up for the local rugby team - you'll never pass for a flanker no matter how much taller they make you look. :lecture:

I know, that's why I play wing, although I can come in as a breaking scrum-half sometimes around rucks and mauls..

I'm built bizarrely, kind of cross between a rugby player and a gymnast, and I find my centre of gravity and leg strength means I can accelerate throught the smallest gaps..and go around defenders - I run straight at them, they go to tackle, and I'm away - they always look gobsmacked lol..

bit like a white version of Jason Robinson whose style of play is closest to mine..

Hi everyone.
Last night there were quite a few of us in the chatroom and we were all saying to each other what we thought each other looked like.

We all have our own perceptions and I was just wondering what everyone else thought some of the members looked like or who they though they would resemble.

I would be interested to hear your comments!!

Very nice pic Vicky - you're the one on the left, right! Where was it taken? I love all those old abbeys in Yorkshire - Fountains, Jervaulx (spelling?) and so on.

Fountains Hall, Fountains Estate Yorkshire where Mike adn i got wed 10th may 03. Two fairies are our godkids.

Will miss the old English properties when we move, but so much other stuff will compensate !!

Thanks for that Vicky, I had an eerie feeling I'd been there before a few times. We're off to York for a few days before Christmas so will pass through the area as we usually go to Ilkley and Harrogate on the way. You're right about the history and the old buildings and so on but as you say there are different attractions elsewhere. Good luck telling your Mum and in your new life together.

Is this a forum for the lanky immigrants???! Hubby 6ft4' and me 5ft9'....always bloody useful at the bar, tend to get served quicker!!
