Yes, I'd go for it being the same chap -my training was partly in a very visual area, and the angles of various things look right.


Wow...It took you 8 years to respond ThrelfallY  ;D ;D ;D

'Cos I only just fell over the post, somehow, and being dozy didn't look at the date! No sense of time, you see.....
It might have been on the bottom bar, that new feature, and caught my eye...
And then, the person would be a few years older by now, wouldn't it?

In my humble opinion, these are not the same two people. I get a different "vibe" from both of them.

Sorry  :'(

Hi
This is a very old post and one I'd forgotten about ( haven't posted on here very much since then.)
Thanks for the input guys - it did turn out to be the same person after all. Opened up a whole new "can o worms".
Thanks again
Tina

People change as they get older but apparently ears do not change!

That's true - although they do continue to increase in size, apparently!

The earlobe can elongate with age as it's like any saggy part of the body  :) But the pinna, the cartilage bit at the top, doesn't change in shape or angle. Apparently  ;D
