Murrin retains his youthfull good-looks year on year with an almost un-nerving degree of 'Dorian Gray' like cpapacity.

I have no camera [or mobile phone, I-Pad, Pod or Pid], no 'eye' in my lap-top or knowledge of how to post a photo or a link to it, even if I had the means to go digital - so I will describe myself instead. I'm 5' 7", about 230lb, wearing a stained M&S dog-tooth check shirt, worn brown chinos and cordouroy slippers. My hair is silver and about 2 inches long [just covering the tops of my ears] sitting on top of a round, slightly florid face. My glasses [brown-rimmed narrow framed] sit ontop of a nose, neither large or small, turned up or pointed. In profile I'm a bit 'chinless', like [in fact very like] one of those images of roman emporers you see on roman coins. My eyes, neither sunken or protruberant are evenly sized and well spaced, lending neither craftiness [too narrow] or stupidity [to wide] to my countenance. They are blue, but today a bit red and yellowish as a result of exesses comitted over the Christmas and New-Year. They sit under bushy grey eyebrows that are way too long and in need of a controlling crop. My lips are neither fleshy nor thin, but the corners do tend to turn down a bit as a result of my 'bite' [I tend, as a bad habit, not out of deformity, to close my mouth with my lower teeth outside my upper [all still my own], thus pushing forward my lower jaw {perhaps psychologically to overcome the smallness of chin I mentioned above - I've never thought of it before} and pulling down the corners of my mouth] My New-Years resolution will be to stop this.] My countenance is one of stern-ness, but I am not wrinkled and I am clean shaven. If you had to think of a celebrity to 'pin my features' most closely too it would be....hmmm.......I'll have to get back on that one.

[nb The humour absent in my face can on occasion be evident in my eyes.]

What the heck.

I haven't uploaded a pic in years.
I probably shouldn't be doing this at work though. Don't tell anyone.

I dunno lorin; I think some people would be intimidated. ;)

For starters, you have the signature "I am that which emerged from the fire" under your portrait.
The set of your chin and jaw give you a determined, no-nonsense look.
And then there are auburn flames..

Umm, please tell me if you would rather I had just shut up instead of saying that...

ahhhhh now I get it. Well the chin is swollen after my little face lift. I am trying to get used to the new face in the mirror. Feels weird. And I was never a fan of seeing my own face to begin with.

Mostly pointing out the serious expression ;)

I've noticed that it's actually common in other parts of the world for people to not smile for the camera. Photos are serious business!

Looking good, guys. I think this is the best participation we've had yet.

one of the days, I hope to give you a compliment that you don't find a way to "wiggle away from" so easily..

On the other hand, I generally enjoy seeing my friends' faces more than my own.
So I can sorta get that part.

Foamfollower a couple of replies up ought to post a sound file of recorded laughter as a part of the ensemble. :P

Here's a better one to compensate for the snot-and-cough picture. ;) Frosty and K. acting as if 30 years younger (no booze involved!).
