Title: Members Pictures - Face behind a name
Post by: ava_banana on December 23, 2003, 11:38:38: I know some of you want to remain anonymous..........however, on another site I have been a member of..........it seemed a popular idea to post pictures of yourselves in a members (rogues) gallery, just so we can see who we are talking too.

I find that I have a mental image of most of you........it would be interesting to see how close we all are to our online "images"..........

I'll start the ball rolling: this is me (at our allotment, warming me' bum on the compost heap and trying to look "interesting, yet casual").

I have been corresponding with Richard on Gardening4All and had a mental picture of him and it is not at all as I imagined (not that he is not a very handsome young man (creep,creep) but I think it is sometimes nice to live in a fantasy world - especially on the net ::)

No, that's not my plot! It's the derelict one next door, which seeds us all with thistles and dock.

Oh, yes, it's just the uniform, isn't it - like HERS. Oh, to be like that!

Oh,well - anything for a laugh - 40 years ago! No 'kitten heels', but a damned sharp sword. The apprentices needed it!!= Tim (PS - A good disguise?)

Post by: tim on January 10, 2004, 10:29:31: As so many say - it's the uniform!! XXXXX Which is now in a museum. Fits a dummy better than it fits me now!! Surely it should be designed to frighten, like a leopard-skin loincloth, rather than attract?

Sad thing is - a few folk got a cyber Christmas card showing REALITY!! But at least I can still reach the top shelf in Tesco - great way of making friends!

'Twas a great life, though = Tim

Later - XXXXX Sorry, Teresa - not in every case!!

You and your wife look like people on those stupid advertisements for vitamin supplements where they take pictures of 50 year olds and say they are 80 hahaha. ......."If you had been taken x-supplement sooner, you could have been like these people and look just as good, vital and happy as them!". -Ina

Title: Re: Members Pictures - Face behind a name
Post by: Gardengirl on January 13, 2004, 00:53:07: Yes Teresa they are Flatcoated Retrievers. Completely barmey ::) I'm glad you recognised them as retrievers. Many people have never heard of the breed. One person even asked me if they were 'black red setters' ??? How crazy is that :-/
Title: Re: Members Pictures - Face behind a name
Post by: Muddy_Boots on January 13, 2004, 01:52:31: Well, you did say they are barmy! Red Setters are completely mad! However, with those fluffy tails, they certainly could not be just Labs! They are beautiful!

Am so envious! Can't have dog here and miss my poor old Yellow Lab so much!

Kate
Title: Re: Members Pictures - Face behind a name
Post by: tim on January 13, 2004, 09:53:01: So I'm the stupid one. Always thought labs (black or yellow) were 'labrador retrievers'. As opposed to things like 'golden retrievers' - ours never retrieved anything!

We had some interesting crosses between one of our black labs and our alsatian. Very careless! = Tim
Title: Re: Members Pictures - Face behind a name
Post by: aquilegia on January 13, 2004, 11:22:13: aww shucks :-[ it's the dress that makes me look elegant there. Normally I'm a jeans (or jods) and t-shirts girl!

Lovely pic Pat - you're dogs are gorgeous. (I'd heard of retrivers - thought they were well known!)
Title: Re: Members Pictures - Face behind a name
Post by: Gardengirl on January 13, 2004, 11:35:40: Hi all, glad you like my babies :D

Yes Aquilegia, retrievers on the whle are well known. It is just the Flatcoated Retrievers which I have which are not so well known. Having said that, if any of you watch Crufts you will have noticed a couple of years ago that the Flatcoated Retriever won the Gundog Group and got into the challenge for Best in Show.There are quite a few different kinds of retrievers, golden, labrador, chesapeake bay and the flatcoats. Oh, don't get me started on dogs or you'll all regret it ::)

Your boys are absolutly beautiful, My little dog, minnie's boyfriend is a black flatcoat just like yours, he is mental, he charges round my house knocking everything over with his great big tail and slobbering on the sofa, but minnie is potty about him (he's her bit of posh, having breeding and all that) he's called pye, and everytime i take them both out i get quite jealous as people always say how hansome pye is and don't say anything about my minnie! you must have fun training them, I cann't get pye to anything other than charge around, i took him down the lotty once with minnie, (minnie always comes with me and behaves impecibly) but pye just pulled me over, and went running all over everyones plot, lead trailing leaving a cloud of dust and freshly planted seeds in his wake, he is canine non grata, down there. Actually they are lovely dogs and if his owner bothered with him he would be alot better behaved.

Post by: Gardengirl on January 13, 2004, 13:56:05: Hi Minerva,

I have done obedience training with my boys, but it doesn't stop them being completely scatty at home. We have had many a coffee swept from the coffee table by a wagging tail :o

I have had some success with showing them though, one of my kitchen walls is covered in rosettes from the shows. Bobbie (the one on the right) even got a cup for Reserve Best in Show once (that's runner up for those who don't know). Your little Minnie sounds lovely - we used to have a collie cross labrador called Bess, I often think the cross breeds are hardier than the pedigree dogs - we have spent a fortune lately on Bobbie at the vets trying to sort out a coat problem. We ought to have a separate thread for talking all things dogs as I think a few are a bit mad on them like me ::) ::)

Post by: Wicker on June 28, 2004, 19:24:59: After I finally got up the courage to "reveal" myself on this thread I realised on checking back that nearly all the photos which must have been submitted had gone - did Dan censor them as too graphic :o or did everyone become modest or frightened of stalkers or something - even Trailrat's which was only put on the other day seems to have vanished.

See Pat's photo is still there and Ava's at the very beginning so why have the rst gone - or am I being nosey/awkward for asking ???

Post by: Mrs Ava on June 28, 2004, 23:55:56: Wicker, I think the old pics have gone because we all posted them using HP Photo. This was fine, way back then, but HP decided it would stop allowing people to export photos to other web sites, so all of our pics were taken off.

p.s. tis me and the sprogs....oo, and a hedgehog! ;D (http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0RQChAhoUxsaoQpYwD2TNKkBwg!*ePcrbVXv984JviP0HvF1PZouwUYunTgFDlO90jA6sKkX4emah1WENKCkeg8uX7yu7IyMPmA!mgEjCmRE/hedgehog1.jpg?dc=4675478400537070992)

Many have already seen it 'by the back door' but - bull by the horns?

Story? Given a shirt yesterday by friends from the US - wife wanted a pic by the clivia - daughter tried to get me looking like me, which I never do - so she said 'look at mum'. Oh, dear. I really didn't mean to give her that look. Haven't laughed so much for ages.

Especialy nice to see you Tim. Previously we have only had an oldie in your uniform to go by. Thank you for updating! BB too, nothing to be ashamed of there either.

Come on the rest of you, lets be seeing you, dont be shy.

PS with reference to the apparent 'censorship' of early posted pics, I guess many were posted via HP photo and were then lost when this facility was stopped. Others perhaps had a time limit on them which ran out or something. :-\

Tim you do fit my image of you but I hadn't reckoned on the shirt that is certainly a bonus!

What lovely kids coming on for the next generation of A4A - lovely to see them.

Title: Re:Members Pictures - Face behind a name
Post by: tim on October 14, 2004, 20:07:40: Andy - so glad you raised that point - I have been meaning to for weeks.

Since so many folk were brave enough to post their mug-shots, & since nothing has changed except that their web site has foreclosed, or that they have wiped their own storage, PLEASE everyone, can we do it again, so that this time we can SAVE it for future reference. NOT for any ulterior motive.

I really do think that photos add a lot to the value of this very good site. It's really nice to picture the person you're talking to & it adds to the friendliness of the site. And replies can be tailored to suit ones impressions of a person.

If we can get one person to say yes, others will follow. And I will lead the way - without that shirt this time!! = Tim
Title: Re:Members Pictures - Face behind a name

Post by: DolphinGarden on October 28, 2004, 22:09:26: Hi all,

just joined having finally figured out what A4A meant on bbc gardening message boards.

Putting a link on here...only one of me but about 15 of me back garden. It's slightly changed from these photos dated 2002. I have a japanese Torii Gate installed since July this year, but photos are still on a roll of 35mm, yet to be developed and put on cd. I'll add it later. The toilet was removed two weeks ago after much protestations from OH.

Anyway, hello all, been looking at the front page of A4A and clicking on the right hand column at new messages for about 3 weeks.

On this thread, I went back from here, page 15 to page 6 or 7, checking out photos of people. Yeah it's nice to see who's who. I thought Tim would be like Richard F though!!!

Talk soon

Post by: DolphinGarden on October 29, 2004, 16:04:27: Hello all,

Tim, Richard F, I will attempt to explain! I was looking here for a few weeks and I only logged onto where it said "Today at hr:mn" and "Yesterday at hr:mn". There were very few photos, mostly I think EJ on her motorbike,now replaced with her little boy. Then I saw ava banana, and there was another photo on a profile that I only realised last night is a stock photo on the list.

I then went back from page 15 to 13, skipped and went from page 9 to 7 or so, and got confused.
I had read on another thread, I think Tim being very hi-tech (to me) about xp and antivirus software so I was being very ageist and thought he was early 20s. I'm going to go back to page 1 again and go through it all again, it's early in the day, make a mental note of everyone all over again. I didn't make any comment of any girls as it's my first post and was y'know, being careful. It is VERY easy to be misinterpreted indeed.
Someone just called me Mrs DG. I am in fact a MR. DG!!! Another Ciaran btw.

Hope that clears it up

try this one about the World Cup in Japan

Post by: Wicker on October 30, 2004, 13:51:50: DG, what a fascinating photo album - notice it's called "don't get married"'s album ??? Probably shouldn't ask on this thread (Gallery?) but what are they growing under that strange covering in the farm photos? whatever it is it is sooo neat and tidy.

Good to see more photos of members.

P.S. What is "OH" by the way?

could it be ... 'other half'??
Terri ;D
Title: Re:Members Pictures - Face behind a name
Post by: DolphinGarden on October 30, 2004, 23:15:59: Hi all,

yeah, I use OH for other half. Can use SO for significant other, (pardners not married, or spouses). Either way.

Wicker, that is the biggest Wasabi farm in Japan. It's horsradish, very common in Japanese cooking, along with the soy sauce with sushi. It's netting, about 6' high. It's not very clear, I grant you though Pic 5--1 gives best view. If you rent Akira Kurasawa's "Dream" film, the last scene is set in and beside the wooden paddle water wheels. There is a wasabe farm on that land. It needs a lot of water, cool and clear from the mountains. It must've been very time consuming to set it up.
All root plants are grated by hand, by old ladies...doing it right there in front of you as you walk around. No wonder it's expensive. I'm sure they believe that if it was mechanised, it wouldn't taste the same. We were walking in when the SO said, this is where Kurawawa's Dream was made. It was on tv more than a year later and was really fed up waiting for it to come up, then at the end...about 01.30am, worth it though. Hadn't seen it before. I'd recommend it. It's a slow film, but very good looking. He transforms a Monet Wheatfield painting into a real wheatfield, by merging one with the other.

The name is from about 5 or 6 years ago, we used communicate via email before getting married, then married living here we went into an internet cafe together and made up an address to use together, she suggested it, laughing. I kept it up, not using it but at the time of taking these photos, I knew Yahoo let you have 30mb of space if you have a Yahoo address. I had to make up other addresses to handle our holiday snaps. I'll put them on the profile.

Tim, printing out is a good idea. Will try it next week.I bought a printer about 6 months ago, installed it, but didn't work. Such a procrastinator, I haven't called the support number. Just moved the pc downstairs 10 days ago (near the landline!)

I should also say to everyone else that I went back from page 1 to 15 and 90% of photos were missing but people kept saying "yeah lovely" and all that. Presumably that had to do with time and HP not supporting what was explained they supported...It was very frustrating.

Anyway.
bye for now.

ps we were at the mrs' grandad's grave and I was tidying up bits of ivy and stuff. The gran said something. OH says, "that's great, but she (Gran) says watch out for snakes!!!"

What is Dublins weather like do you get the warmth of the Gulf Stream? 8)

Roy, yes all our weather is influenced by the gulf stream, like you, we get to play football and rugby all winter long, no break, and we export cattle to the continent where the fields are full of snow!!! We don't do so well in the winter olympics though...

For your info, there is a bamboo park in sw Ireland, I had to dig up the photo album and a map to figure out the nearest town, Kenmare. If you're ever over here you should check it out. It says Bamboo park, and i've only 2 photos of it, but if memory serves me right, it's mostly palms. Me and better half were there in Feb 2002 to use up a few holiday days, and one day on the rentacar temp gauge it was 14c and the radio news mentioned 2c in Dublin. To me that was and is a huge difference in such a small distance.

Nearest airport is Kerry/Farranfore, or Shannon, which is much bigger, but a little further away. Check out Ryanair or maybe AerArann.

The growing season is as in the uk longer in the south than north and later first frost and earlier last frost etc.

If I can ever get my scanner working, I'll try and show you what it's like...
regards,
Ciaran

Title: Re:Members Pictures - Face behind a name
Post by: Peter H on November 09, 2004, 11:09:21: It seems that myself and Flower have upset a few people with the latest postings even though it was meant only in fun and for that we apologise, but some have sent PMs to myself and Flower giving verbal abuse and some have even threatened us with physical violence. The latter has upset Flower that much that she has actually been crying over some of them.
So due to these events we have decided that we will no longer use the site and this will be our last posting.
May your gardens,allotments, balconies and pots prosper and produce flowers or vegetables and make the others look mundane.

Bye to you all

Peter and Flower.
Title: Re:Members Pictures - Face behind a name
Post by: Mrs Ava on November 09, 2004, 12:53:24: Oh for goodness sakes you two! Flower, you post a piccy that is more suitable for the watershed than this gallery section, then in this thread, and others, you start chatting to each other about your 'bedtime' antics, and you really didn't think it would offend! Peter, you have spoken of your wife often so this sort of talk about you 'playing away' is bound to upset people. Don't leave the site, but use it appropriately. Dan was good enough to open the watershed section, so if you wanna play, play in there!

Of course, if you are never going to darken our doorsteps again, then you will never read this, but just in case you wander by sometime.....
Title: Re:Members Pictures - Face behind a name
Post by: Garden Manager on November 09, 2004, 17:13:17: Is it just me or is this topic becoming too much chat and not enough pictures.

Maybe Dan is too soft, since on another mesage board i am a member of the mods (moderators) set up a board (at members request) just for photos. People abused it and chatted too much on it. As a result the mods threatened to close the topic down and/or delete non photo posts.

Talking about the pics is one thing, chatting is another. We have 'The Shed' for chat. ;D :)

Richard - you are not alone. If you look back (don't bother!) that is exactly what I said earlier. We want PEOPLE PHOTOS so that we can feel in touch with those that we are chatting to?? Limit the yakker. I know - I'm old fashioned.

So glad you agree with me Tim. I made that last post with baited breath waiting for indignant replies of "Lighten up Richard" or similar. I am most releived! ;D

By the way the last picture before my post and EJs latest pic was back on Page 17, and even then only a couple.

I would add a few myself but I havent go any!
