Changing Avatars
 
Will people stop changing their avatars. You start to get used to someone and bingo up they get up and change their avatar. No consideration for the rest of us who have got used to it, attributed a certain personality to the picture. Its very disturbing and inconsiderate and would you all refrain from doing it. Pick one and stick to it.

I not picking on anybody in particular and I realize this is not the most serious problem, what with the war in Afghanistan or the Ft. Hood thing going on, but it is annoying.

This might seem a little silly and like making a mountain out of a molehill, but this type of thing is the thin edge of the wedge. Once the rot sets in, its all down hill from there on.

It's like when Cheese & Onion crisps used to always come in a green bag. Then someone - Walkers? - suddenly decided that Cheese & Onion was blue.

But that's wrong. Cheese & Onion tastes green, not blue. Salt & Vinegar tastes light blue - not dark blue, because that's Ready Salted. Which can be red too. Or white, if it's got it's own salt bag.

Glad that's cleared that up. As you were, everybody.

Absolutely correct and we must guard against such a decline.

Personally I avoid clichés like the plague.

Well you shouldn't have let the cat out of the bag of pigeons. You're going to reap the storm in a teacup.

Click on "My Profile" (on the tan bar at top of page)

Then "Edit Avatar" on the left hand side, half way down

Upload a picture (note the maximum file and pixel size, resize as necessary)

Bobs your uncle. As you can see, I'm getting quite quick at changing mine....
