how many times a day do you think about neil pickup?

it is suprisng the effect that a cricket web moderator can have on your thought pattern, from recently whenever i see the word exeter the first thought that comes into my mind is pickups avator, the same happens when i see orange things.....like the tango man.

does anyone else share this phenomenon ?

Admittedly I associate Exeter and to a small extent legspin ( ) with Pickup, but I don't spend much time pondering him.
