Most of us on here have an Avatar and/or a tagline.Some are pretty obvious others,not so.Tell us (who may not know) what yours refers to.
Mine made me laugh when I saw it because it reminds me of the UK health and safety laws which have just gone mad IMO.In a recent H&S course at work an example given to us was to risk assess changing a light tube (which someone usually does by standing on a desk,chair etc.).First we got stepladders,then someone pointed out they could get knocked over so someone else suggested putting barriers around the safe working area.Then someone else suggested putting flashing lights on the barriers incase someone did not notice them !.Then someone else suggested it should be a 2 man job incase the guy on the ladders dropped the tube and should really have it handed up to him.Then the guy who handed it up to him should really have a hard hat on incase the light tube was dropped on him.Then someone else said the guy on the stepladders should also wear protective headgear incase he fell of the ladder.Then someone suggested all people working in the office were at risk so the office should really be evacuated before this task was carried out.The end result was the office was turned into a mini construction site in order to change a light tube.I sat at the back and laughed it was just ridiculous.A friend of mine works on construction sites and is in charge of doing the risk assessments/method statements on them.On one site there were no toilet facilities so the company decided to install a chemical toilet.He actually had to do a risk assessment for a bricklayer going for a poo !.Reading it back he said it was just crazy,but it was his responsibility to see that it was done.When I saw the sniper picture it made me laugh as I thought what if assassins had to do everything by the book ?,the paperwork would be a nightmare ! :)

My picture is of my favourite game character Sonic and my tagline is a line from an old Kia-ora advert, although it should say 'Crows' instead of 'Crow'. It said Crows in the past.
my avatar is about my favorite online game.........CALL OF DUTY MODERN WARFARE 2!!!!
