Well done Silent!

Last year on a business trip I skivved off and visited family, who live close to New Forest. We went for a walk and found the Rufus stone. I have other piccies of the stone inc members of my family which I've spared you.

The interesting part is that there is a school of thought who says Tyrell purposely shot William II, with the conivance of the nobility. Rufus was an abyssmal monarch in stark contrast to his father; the Conqueror. His brother Henry I was also nearby in the forest, at the time.

Henry I's reign was the last of the stability brought by the Normans. His heir William died in the White Ship and thus began the Stephen versus Maud civil wars, which ended with another Henry on the throne, who united the Anglos and Normans, and began the Plantaganet dynasty.

Well, if we apply Occam's Razor to this set of explanations, it's clear to me that Craig has it right: it's a specials board outside a restaurant. :p

I rather liked Craig's 'specials board' too. Now I've fessed up, even if some people prefer the 'specials board' I need to find another avatar.

I create personalised avatars for fun, if anyone wants one?
I have done all different kinds, with pets, favourite things, and or names, in favourite colours, blah, blah, blah.........

The one I have now is the least personal one I've ever had (It's just a photo)
This one is what I usually use, I created it from a few different photo's using PSP9, and refers to my home page site.
Anyway, if anyone wants one, it's like a hobby for me ;)

Ratbag - can you do animated ones also? As in Zed's monkey and its buglar exploration?

I can create the pictures for that to happen, unfortunately my trial version of Animation shop timed out, so I cannot animate them myself, but if you know anyone with Animation shop, or some animation program, I could make the cells for it, and pass them on to someone to run through an animation program, it's actually easier than it sounds ;)
What did you want? You can PM me if you like :D

Was it W C Fields who said he'd rather be dead in New York than live in Philadelphia?

Well, I can see you're not black, otherwise I'll just go on thinking you look and sound like him OK? :D

Animated gifs are cuasing me grief, when I go to use them they don't animate. Looks like time to hit the web and learn some more about them.

Hi all,

Done 1.4 million km in my avatar and remember quite a lot tripping around, carried all sorts of things for all sorts of people. Lots of missed opportunities to collect timber and other wood working goodies. Had no interest in anthing made of wood back in the 70 s 80 s.

Regards Mike

Never mind, me too. I did this one up for myself tonight, but as you can see, I can't upload it animated :confused:

anyway, no requests after all :(

Glitch with animated avatars has been fixed and members can now add a custom profile pic, max size 100 x 100, this is done in user cp.

Cheers - Neil :)

I tried to add an animated avatar that was 86 pixels x 59 pixels but couldn't get it to work. I could only get it to work by shrinking the animation to 80 pixels x 55 pixels. The maximum size of 80 x 80 stated on the User CP page must still apply.

Oh thankyou so much Neil :D and I didn't even have to reapply it, it just fixed itself :D
So any requests?
(reserve the right to deny in case of extreeeme excessiveness, or bad taste :p nose picking not included LOL )

Nope..... Didn't fix itself, I fixed it for you.

Cheers - Neil :)

PS Thanks for the greenie Ratbag. First one for ubeaut since Oct 25 last year. :D

Well thanks extra specially much then :D

It used to be an animation of a block of wood being whittled into the bear, which I made for this forum, but I reduced it so it wouldn't cause trouble.
I'm surprised you don't get more ;) I haven't been around much, but you've always been most helpful :D
