Maria, I did a photo shoot once - for a photographer friend - and people said I looked like a cross between Uma Thurman and Kate Winslet (very flattering, although am not sure I look that good in real life). So I think the Winslet thing could be spot onish, on a good day!

I always imagined Natassia to have a Russian look about her (I think it's the name). Blonde hair, pretty, very girly but quite headstrong at the same time.

Sneaks, I see as being really funny and a good laugh to be around, but also quite conscientious - likes to make sure thinks are done on time and to a good standard.

I've always imagined Bug to be quite assertive, but sensitive at the same time. I imagine her with mid-length dark hair, and very smart looking. Someone who makes an effort, yet makes it look effortless.

I always imagined Wal to look like the boy from roseanne - I think its because of the haircut thread where he said his hair goes curley if it grows

But after the gary barlow and 'reddy-brown hair' - translation = ginger. maybe its damien lewis

Or maybe hugh fernley wittingstall.

This is a great thread, how funny how we think of each other!
I think of Wal as a lovely guy who dresses conservatively, with the occasional suit jacket (possibly the odd one has those leather elbow patches - i love them!). and likes the finer things like poetry, classical music and has lots of friends, who they all love and go to for support and a laugh when they need cheering up!

Sue - long brown hair, tied up, who likes to dress smart but casual and comfy, with flip-flops (no slippers cos you're lucky enough to live on the warm half of earth!), really laid back, very studious and dedicated and enjoys going out for walks in the nice sunshine, maybe the beach depending on where you live, and has a very full but organised study, that your partner comes into to give cups of tea, cold drinks, snacks and some nice supportive hugs sometimes! :)

Natassia, i though of quite the same with long blonde hair and possibly spanish looking.

Like Jimkim:

I agree with these!

And Cakegirl for some reason abit like Izzy in Greys, (Katherine Heigl), who likes to make cakes at random times of the day and night to help relax and destress!

Thats all for now! :)

Hmmm, I'm a bit of an 'old timer' on here so don't really know a lot of you (the nature of the beast I guess) but I remember when we had a similar thread way back when. It's always surprising how people are nothing like you imagine! And have some very good friends off here, fortunately!

Have any of you lot become friends away from on here? (Sorry for the slightly off thread question!)

I'd really love to get to know some of us offline but anonymity is important for many of us.. me too, really, but I'd love to meet some of folk I chat to on here :)

I've remember you Danb - although I was probably more of a Lurker when you were posting more often. I do seem to remember that there is a facebook group somewhere for PGF memebrs. and I do think there have been a few PGF meets - but I've always been a bit concerned about anonymity, especially joining the facebook group because everyone at my uni would see that i have done that and maybe make the link.

Maybe when we have all finished we can all meet up. I'm very tempted to thank everyone from the forum in my acknowledgement page so eventually you will see it on ethos (its bad when you spend more time thinking about acknowledgments than actually writing the thesis)

ah ha http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=wall&gid=30692046970

Seriously mods - the videos of Foxy the Gerbil clearly demonstrate that you procrastinate far more than any of us!

Sneaks I've written many acknowledgements many times lol :)

I'd really love to meet some of you guys some day - Sneaks, Stressed, Keep-Calm, Wally, Keenbean, Eska...

Never mind, for all you know we may have met already!

Bug

@Jinkim - spot on about me!! (all the good things are sooo true)
