You've got loads!! What are you doing to people? I now have an extra block, called a 'reputation'. I am so happy. Hopefully by the end of the year,I'll have enough to build meself a house! Nothing happened to me either when it arrived,just a tingle when I realised it had happened. My wife says that happens to her all the time!!

I asked my BE member 'Bordy' how he got his avatar of his footy team - he knew I followed St KIlda so offered to minimise it and send it to me - I paid him with a packet of 'Revels' when I went to Melbourne last jan.
Sorry I don't know how to reduce the size of a picture- I have to ask my kids if its something outa the ordinary pc wise. fortunately son is studying computer vis. at uni!

The picture is called an avatar- go to your profile and you'll see a section that says add avatar
Amazing what some people will do for something they crave
Just you wait till you've been in NZ a few yrs...the craving for things you didn't even know you loved will emerge!

Things I won't miss-emailing as an amateur,asbo's,Torys,Labour ( New or otherwise),chippy curry,tax,petrol prices,scallies,stolen anything being driven past here,fat women/men,stress,getting hammered/pubs,being arrested for ridiculous-Ididn't do it-things,foreign phone callers called Nathan selling me mobiles (sorry!!),George Bush's influence,Everton,Manchester United,mini bikes,Jose Morinho,line dancing (please?).

I don't have a problem with fat people in general,just the ones who've been the chippy on the way home and can't fit between the wall and my parked car (approx 5 feet),and leave grease marks down my car!
Salsa is fine if it controls the enormous poundage put on after a visit to Valentine's.I can hardly talk,17.5 stone of sweat and lager,my wife says she loves me,but not convinced.
Dirty Leeds? They hate man u as much as we do-they ok with me.What ever happened to the mighty Owls? Mind you-wife's a Sunderland fan (Geordies-stop sniggering-I can hear you!!),so no coment there.

Got to be honest here Jane-I think it's probably a blessing. Tell you what-take his mind off it by passing through Taupo and putting him on a helicopter for an hour. Being a Sheff Wed fan-it'll be the bigest high for a number of years.
Here's one to cheer him up. About 1986-87,Anfield Liverpool 0- Sheff Wed 2, Bruce Grobbelllllaaaaaaarrr accepts another bung-comes flying out to the half way line and misses the ball. Caught the sodding cash though didn't he. Swine.
