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!)

But my hair is grey and in a straggly bob unless it's dyed green.

Rowantre grin
I'm sure you don't.

Actually, I'm beginning to think that Julie Walters could be wishful thinking. Perhaps it's the specs.

My pupils used to call me, Anne Robinson, until she had a facelift. Then they thought I was her mother.?

Marydoll we know what you look like....4ft 10 wearing a ginger wig and full of wind.tchgrin We have seen you in The Argy many times.

Marydoll Thu 03-Jan-19 00:12:54

That's not a bad description. tchgrin, Lemon.

Well rufus you asked for it
Jane10; Can't remember! But if I did I'll take some of the credit for helping to bring on all the subsequent accolades. grin A lovely pic; unbrushed too! A pity you got the sulks just before The Party. Understandable, given what you went through prior,but still a pity because my dance partner stood me up and I lost serious money on the hire of that sleigh and reindeer.! sad
And we could have made such beautiful music too with you doing "a shimmy like my sister Kate", sorry, sister Babs. Come to think of it Babs is 85, lives in Bideford and is probably not into shimmying these days. Oh well; dream on! Good Health

Yes, but this thread is destroying them.!
I'm mindful of when some smart-alec TV execs thought it would be good idea to create a TV series of the Goon Show. (Sorry about the analogy, but it's apt!) After years of listening to radio broadcasts we had all formed our mental images of Bluebottle, Eccles, Col Bloodnock. etc. I've forgotten (fortunately) how they were depicted on TV, but it was a disaster. Thankfully CDs of their radio progs as presented by Wallace Greenslade will last forever. Sorry, but all you tall, sophisticated slim, blondes will be no more, in my mind at least, as more info. comes to light! sad

None of the posters were the same as my mental image, for instance I imagined Baggs as a little old lady, when of course, she is nothing of the sort.
To set your mind at rest Rufus, I am of course a tall, slim, sophisticated Brunette.
And in my minds eye you are a young looking James Bond. ?

Jane10 Sat 05-Jan-19 14:55:33

I see rufus as a mixture of Bluebottle and Eccles with a hint of Seagoon about the hair.

Jane10 Sat 05-Jan-19 14:57:47

BTW it's Major Dennis Bloodnock not Col. Get your Goons references right or Moriarty will be summoned to deal with you or, even worse, Minnie Bannister!

DanniRae Mon 07-Jan-19 14:47:26

I am 5ft 6ish, a size 18, mid brown hair (that's the colour on the box!) in a straight chin length bob, brown eyes. I would describe my looks as unremarkable. I hate having my photo taken and have none from my last holiday or from Christmas as I have deleted them! Oh, I am 70, by the way and just realised that this is a good likeness of me smile

Anniebach Mon 07-Jan-19 14:56:09

I think there are Grans here who have earth angel wings

Jalima1108 Mon 07-Jan-19 19:09:37

I did a double-take in a mirror today and devcided that yes, Julie Walters was wishful thinking on my part.

I am most definitely Mrs Overall, but with no overall and wilder hair.

Buffy; I thought so! Thank you for my half-year birthday good wishes. The City win against the "scousers" compensated for the paucity of presents. I was looking for you in the crowd, but everyone was so rugged up, looking like Eskimos, that I gave up. Perhaps you could wave the GN banner next match! Good Health! wink
Btw; ditch Bondy and think John Wayne, although more rugged.!

loopylou Wed 09-Jan-19 12:16:12

Me on a good day ?

Rufus2 Wed 09-Jan-19 12:36:22

mixture of Bluebottle and Eccles

"Eccles! " "Yes Bluebottle"?
"I don't think I like this game; harm could come to a ...." Next thing they'll be telling us to post our pictures and that will turn Rufus into a schizophrenic again! Talking to himself! confused

Jane10 Wed 09-Jan-19 15:09:39

As long as you're not walking backwards for Christmas you should be OK rufus

Buffybee Wed 09-Jan-19 15:12:57

A rugged John Wayne!!!!! Even better! ?

lemongrove Wed 09-Jan-19 15:15:07

Why, loopy you have such a friendly lively face!?

Cherrytree59 Wed 09-Jan-19 16:32:05

What big eyes you have loopy.envy

Billybob4491 Wed 09-Jan-19 17:37:45

Another Hyacinth Bucket here.

Rufus2 Thu 10-Jan-19 11:28:12

Who got into bed first? Who invited who to share. ? grin
Btw; That's Rufus1 on the right with Kelpie "Jessie"

callgirl1 Thu 10-Jan-19 16:36:24

My but you`re a handsome lad Rufus!

Rufus2 Fri 11-Jan-19 12:53:01

Thanks for the compliment, but I have to point out that's Rufus 1 and much better looking than me. I think I'd been "outed" to the doghouse! grin

Fennel Fri 11-Jan-19 13:04:08

You've got a border collie! I still miss ours. I always say border collies are almost human smile.
