Both myself amd Mrs Optimist are intrigued by Lizzie's Avatar.
We wonder where the picture was taken.
It looks as though Lizzie is standing in a communal area of a block of flats, judging by the adjacent stairs and board behind her head.
I'm sure everyone at OOF would be interested to know where this was taken?
As to the picture of Lizzie herself (providing of course she is not really a 6ft 3in hairy ars*d rugby player from Wales called Taffy.......well we are on the internet you never can tell), I would have to say that Lizzie is a bit of a looker...........a real babe in fact.

So come on Lizzie tell us where it was taken, and who was behind the camera?

Thank you Optimist!!
I love people paying such lovely compliments; it makes a change from the insults (kind hearted of course!!
) that anyone can receive on this site!!

The photo was taking in the main reception area of Canterbury jings Church University, in Old Sessions House, by a fellow female student (who are all far younger, prettier and brainier than me; makes you bloody sick!!
).
PS I am 5'7" tall, far too fat, and only.....well you know!!

ER... No we don't 
Ah.....so you obviously have not been reading many of my posts then!
I have always stated, well since June, that I am ??

Sorry Lizzie but I am sure that I have read many of your posts since I became a member, but I am completely lost on this one... Please elucidate.
Thanks,
Jim
All right then Jim!

I remember the Suez Crisis of 1956; the Lewisham train disaster of 1957; the time when Austin's, Morris's, Riley's, Wolsley's, Ford Prefects, bubble cars and steam railway engines generally ruled the roost, with even some trolley buses around, The Beatles entering the charts; Harold Macmillan stating "We have never had it so good"; with men landing on the moon in 1969............... ok I am...............35,45; alright 55!!
Lived just up the road from that then - remember lorries up and down our road taking bodies to Ladywell Baths as makeshift mortuary. Could see the carnage from the road bridge.
Don't remember the 60s though - must have enjoyed the 60s 8-) 8-)

Yes dbug I remember my father telling me, post 1957, that there were bits of bodies everywhere!
Of course the driver of Battle of Britain Class locomotive, 34066 "Spitfire", missed in heavy fog some signals at danger and rammed the electric commuter train demolishing the rear coach, then went on to bring the Nunhead to Lewisham line overhead bridge down onto three more coaches of the EMU. Absolute carnage apparently, with 89 killed.
