          I actually got more than a thumb that went numb when I was suffering from repetitive strain injury, which stopped me from using my PC for a while.
          At least it makes a perfect rhyme.
          Not sure if I could find one for low back pain 😆
          As for the avatar: I found it on the Explodingdog site http://www.explodingdog.com/
          ( hope it´s not copyrighted ). That funny character having hard time over some impossible shape seemed quite OK.

          Comfortably numb...

            you forgot to explain your avatar! afraid of being sued for child abuse?

            😆 Ooohhh yeah... Sorry about that...
            My avatar... Well, it's really simple... It's a smoking baby... 😆
            Can't remember where I found it, but I thought it was "funny" and took it... 😄
            Although I'm smoking cigarets in real life, it's nothing special - really... 😉

              My anickname [to use its old-English form as 'other-name'] is my initials T+I+G .
              I was called that from ~5 at junior school - someone older than me had the same first-name [out of 7 pupils ! what's the chance !!]
              Later, I kept it up and signed all my manual-drawings and letters with my initials - so it stuck...
              Also near to where I was born the local Army Regiment [of my grandfather] and the Rugby Football team were/are the Tigers; and of course tigers are strong/fierce/powerful/potent etc etc... [or cute/funny if 'tigger'...] - it has little 'downside' except for becoming extinct !!!
              I prefer it to my 'real name' - which is a bit 'naff' - BUT my mum [see 'Brief Encounter' lead for a clue...] and close family would still use my original name - as would one of my old-fashioned bosses years ago who wouldn't allow nicknames... I'll answer to almost anything...

                    I have too many outlandish things to say and my rants often end up in someones search results
                    A word of warning; a client googled my name one day and found me ranting about the war on this forum. So I decided to changed it. Looking around the house for inspiration I saw the word Linea on the label in a jumper. (There is a UK department store called Debenhams, their own brand is called Linea)

                    As for the avatar, my friend is an actor, for a while he had a drama company called Rare Breed and wanted a suitable logo so I just mashed 2 photos together. I keep thinking I should have a go at modelling the critter in SU.

                      EarthMover is a play on the fact that I am a landscaper by trade and tend to move a lot of Earth around on any given day......it's also my wife's nickname for me in bed....just kidding on the last part. 😄
