    Maybe I should embellish that.

    I used to really enjoy myself there. I just think its going a bit stale.

    I would like to point out this purely my own personal opinion, and I am not here to bag anyone out.

    I don't really know why I bothered starting this thread .... maybe I should just delete it.

    I think it's cyclical.....some days surfing is great fun and other days it's boring.....I think it mostly depends on my mood and how I'm feeling not the forums themselves, though!

    It's trundling along quite nicely. Never very busy, but always friendly. You'd be very welcome if you ever fancied popping over.

    LOL.....Though that doesn't look like someone who knows what a NullReferenceException is or an illegal cross thread call.

    Re: Gonna Stick my neck out here .... what the hell !

    I don't use a walking stick, or the more modern trekking poles. Aside from the belly, though, I had to make sure that wasn't me. I'm not as gray, and I don't wear glasses (though reading glasses are certainly in my near future), but the hair color, nose, general facial structure, and hat appear right (though I have changed to a different hat, of late).

    Nah....that's not you. I'd expect someone a little more.....I donno.....sophisticated looking

    Seriously, that doesn't look like a guy who would know what a For loop is.

    Actually, the first picture is more correct than you might think, though I don't have the belly (or at least not as much).

    As for the other picture, since I'm more a red head, all the hair on the body is relatively hard to see. I'm not terribly hairy, but light hair on light skin pretty much disappears.

    If that's true then I must say I'd mistake you for what you call them ? Anglers ? Those outdoorsy guys that arm wrestle huge fish for Animal Planet or Discovery lol.

    Reely? I'd have thought you'd have a better line on it than that! I don't think that looks anything like my mate Rod and definitely nothing like the British piscatorial arm-wrestler Rob ..

    The term I think you are looking for is "Noodlers". It's a crazy sport which I have never officially engaged in.
