O/T:- Avatars - story behind them?

[kill_the_drum]

Mine is because I couldn’t get the Avatar I wanted to work. I tried a completely random pic, of David Hasselhoff, and it worked.
I’ve been meaning to change it for the last 15 years!

I got the full 'barcode' kit for Christmas when I was about 10 year old. I started watching Notts a few years before that, but that Mick Walker season represents the time I first really got into Notts County and football on a deeper level. I loved that team! Favourite player was Paul Devlin.

Loved that season, battling it out at the top end of what is now the Championship against the likes of Forest, Derby, and Leicester. The famous Charlie Palmer moment, and eventually missing out on the playoffs thanks to a Dijkstra own goal. Good times!

Wrestling is not a sport, told you before it's a fetish thing for men in near on 'Budgie Smugglers' to oil each other up and play out some weird fantasy!

I'm a lawyer.

This is mine shrunk that much you can't read it. I won a competition for the Junior Mirror a publication for kids at the time.
The prize was to meet the team but they (Notts) cancelled it and sent me a postal order for 7 and a tanner which I was pleased about because it allowed me to pay the fees and go camping with my scout troop sixth Beeston.

Expert in fetishes and weird fantasies keldsyke? I'll take your word for it, but you will have to take it up with Luke Winkie not me.

When I used to watch it back in the day, it was always 'sports entertainment' , a physical soap opera, just a bit of fun. One thing it isn't is fake, which is a common mistake from the uneducated on the subject.

I never realised Jimmy Savile was a wrestler.

When I started posting on here the name I used on the old Rivals board was already taken, so I used the name of a racehorse owners group I belonged to called the Elite Racing Club. Seeing as the club colours are black and white, it seemed a good avatar.
