Who is he? Is he somehow related to the late BackPacker?
Any idea where we can find that one Mort?...Morticia... said:the mad cow one prior was probably a better reflection but he liked this one and it makes me smile everytime i see it.
...Morticia... said:jessbass, my dad was an easy going person who never really got the sh*ts much but he reckoned he was getting grumpy old man syndrome in his old age. i think if i remember correctly, the time this avatar came out, the roosters forum was full of trolls and there was a fair whack of bitching in the sevens at the time and he was getting sicker and his paitience threshold was getting lower. its funny he shouldve chosen this as i dont remember him ever raising his voice despite the fact both his kids were complete sh*ts at various times. the avatar was a complete opposite of his actual personality. the mad cow one prior was probably a better reflection but he liked this one and it makes me smile everytime i see it.

We can always update these things.![]()

Morticia, I obviously came across the sevens long after your father and his legacy, but from what I read about the history of the competition, and what people generally think of him, he sounds like he was a very impressive and well respected individual. I had no idea you were his daughter, but I think it's fantastic that you're still involved in the sevens, even in his absence.
Having the points system named after him must be a tremendous honour.

Just an update for you on the latest Nessie sighting - I still talk to Penelope on a semi-regular basis. She backed off from the forums for sanity reasons, however, as you would be aware knowing Pen, it's only one small baby step, bless her!!!!
