Does anybody have a mental picture of other posters? I imagine elegran to be small, slim, and modernly dressed.
I see Anniebach as a bigger lady with fair hair and glasses.

What do you think, and how right are you?

( You can tell I’m bored!)

EllanVannin....that's ok. grin I AM down-to-Earth, ordinary and I suppose "motherly". I am happy with all those things

I should have said I posted a photo in Soops kitchen.?

A lovely photo, annsixty. Yours too, callgirl - love the dimples!

callgirl1 Sat 29-Dec-18 23:03:25

I never realised I had dimples!

Alright, so I lied. This is the real me, 6 months ago at my 75th birthday meal
Callgirl1; Awesome; Your looks belie your age. Can we see a pic Oops! I was going to say "of the meal",but 6 months on perhaps you could just show us the menu! tchgrin
Now for the tech. stuff: how did you get your picture onto this thread? Via a scanner? Please tell! tchsmile

I used to be mistaken for Sandie Shaw
Kittylester; Sure it wasn't Sandy Stone? tchgrin
And a Happy New Year to you too. Cheers!

Rufus, save your picture to your device, as a jpeg, (scan first if you have to and then save), go to the part at the bottom of the page, Choose file, preview, then post.,

Marydoll Sun 30-Dec-18 08:23:09

It obviously depends on the device you are using.

I use the desktop site for all my devices, table and PC.

I'm actually gorgeous and always perfectly groomed!

Assuming you've got over your sulks, where is Nan's sleigh going to pick you up for the N.Y.Party? We need your style! tchgrin

Sorry, Rufus, I don't understand your post 're my post.

bikergran Sun 30-Dec-18 08:57:35

oohhh yes the great days of profiles...ahhhhhhhhhhhh ....I used to have lots of photos on my profile like other posters, it was lovely to see what they looked like and how you imagined them, also lots of other interesting things about them, hobbies,families etc.

But then along came media and most (if not all) took their profiles down)

Rufus2 Sun 30-Dec-18 09:32:52

Sorry, Rufus, I don't understand your post 're my post
Kittylester; Terribly sorry about that. sad Don't know what came over me! As you may know, Sandy Stone is an alter ego of Barry Humphries who I've been laughing at recently and I thought, wrongly , that there was an opportunity for a smart comment; very wrong!
Please accept my apologies and I promise not to post a picture of myself with tears streaming down my face! I've already inflicted enough misery! sad
Have a Happy New Year.

No pic of the meal Rufus, but that`s my birthday cake in the picture, with a photo of an 18 year old me on it.

EllanVannin Sun 30-Dec-18 19:16:51

My old mum looked like Hyacinth Bucket. We laugh if we see any of her films especially in the detective series.

I've got a bathmat exactly the same colour as your rug...Lynne59

I had in mind that any photo of you would show a lithe 40 something in suspenders and little else, draped over a white sofa with plastic covering...aka chicken ranch style.
You look much better than that.

What do I look like? Answers on a postcard to: IPC magazines, High Holborn, London EC1

GabriellaG54 Wed 02-Jan-19 00:32:06

Maw looks like the head of a college, thorough, efficient, reliable, personable and, having seen the photo of her husband, I can see why they fell for each other. A perfect match.

GabriellaG54 Wed 02-Jan-19 00:37:41

I too always thought AnnieBach was small, slightly plump/motherly with fairish grey hair to below her ears in an unstructured natural style, who wears loose comfortable clothing, usually long skirts and cardigans.

GabriellaG54 Wed 02-Jan-19 00:40:05

Lynnebo
That made me laugh. So pithy. ?

GabriellaG54 Wed 02-Jan-19 00:41:39

Not really. He looks like an ex band member.

callgirl1 Wed 02-Jan-19 00:44:08

Gabriella, what you had in mind for me makes me wonder what kind of girl you thought I was, lol!!

GabriellaG54 Wed 02-Jan-19 00:48:50
