    Is your avatar supposed to be a blurry mess?

    Is your screen cheap and nasty?

    I'm with sean on this, I'm afraid your avatar is a blurry mess on my overpriced @pple screen :oops:

    Same with my amazing 24" full HD monster of a screen.

    I have no idea what's going on here.

    Anyhoo, that logo has a rustic feel to it. Shabby and chic - you should know what that entails Surrey boy. Home of Shabby and chic, Chelsea trattors, housing schemes, stones throw (no pun intended) to the M25. Everything you could want in one urban area.


    Hah! Using a bike logo, how cheap can you ge.. oh wait.

    I'm not too cool for anything unfortunately.

    The latter applies, when it comes to computing I'm not the best. :D

    None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.

    Seanocon's gone all Freudian...

    Careful he isn't psychoanalysing all the avatars. To me, he (seanocon) has an avatar that looks like the bloke in the corner shop shouting:

    "Put that daan, i'll 'av yew arrested. Get out of my Dad's shop... go on - do one you bloody slapper, i'm fed up with this..."
