Here he is! For the last time on this board... The famous avatar of the famous Hoppi... I'll leave Hoppi's avatar online for 24 hours, so don't miss your chance..! Save this graphic to your hard drive so you can make it your screensaver... | http://is.gd/4Zsmr |

And now back to the core business of this board, subjects about (Northern) Cyprus and related items in different countries..?

Typo in the subject title. Should read: [AVATARS] The end of a useless, whinging debate..?

If anyone should have an avatar it is you because the terrible picture of yours that now disgraces your postings does you no justice at all!

Message 4, David at least some of us have the guts to show who we are, its very easy to say something nasty when one is anonymous! Do a good turn and send in your photo for charity.

I do not actually drink the beer, I just have a fetish for holding cold beer glasses.

There are several members of this board I would not wish to either recognise or be recognised by.



Britvic, I see by your photograph that you well hide your identity and the thought comes to my mind that people in glass houses {like you) should not throw stones.



It is my good right to have privacy.



However I will inform you that Hans and I are very good friends and if you read his reply to me that will prove it.

Bill & Hans,



If I post my pic and it looks a bit like a Meerkat, will you be prepared to say it's a good likeness?





p.s. I think AJ's photo is the comedian Dave Spikey! I've never met either of them, how do I know?

There is something I would like to add about my profile photo, My photo has been saved as something called a 'Flash' photo, and there are two things that you can do to see a bit more of me. First thing is the photo is a 'dynamic timed' photo (if you do not know what this is then 'google' it). What this means is that if you look at the photo in my profile for maybe (I think (first time for me with this new technology) maybe 10 minutes) you will see the level in my beer glass fall and then you will see the rest of my ugly mug. The second thing is that my photo also encompasses 'Fluid Flash' which is an add on to the existing 'Flash' software and that allows you to turn your monitor/laptop upside down and see the beer drain out of the glass virtually straight away, much like the adult pens that you used to be able to buy that when turned upside down would reveal a naked female.

Enjoy this new technology and if you have any problems just let the other moderators know.

That is so cool Dave but I experimented with it further and if you press Ctrl+Alt +Right arrow key the beer actually poors down your arm. Modern technology is just awesome.







For those of you who try it just press Ctrl+Alt+Up arrow key to get back to a normal screen, just in case I get a barage of e-mails.

I am glad it worked for you Paul but there is obviously a bug in the software as I was assured that no beer would be wasted in this beta version of the software. Anyway thank you for your input and your comments will be passed onto the software team for dissemination and implementation for the next version of 'Flash' and 'Fluid Flash' software.

More input required from other members.

I know it might be asking a little much for the file limits on here but perhaps you as an administrator might persuade Izzet to allow you to increase yopur allowance in order to incorporate 'Flash Flood' which I am told allows you too poor the fluid out and it slowly fills the whole photograph. Unfortunately I have only been able to read about this because the company server blocks any software downloads that involve Alcohol. It is understandable though this being an offshore Oil and Gas platform in the middle east. And they don't want us getting tempted to sneak in alcohol

=> Sorry, AJ. This is too much for a simple computer user. Folks, my computer is for sale. I'll start a bowls club (fascinating as watching grass grow).

I think I can do this as 'Fluid Flood' has been added as a premium extra. However I am not quite sure how you will be able to receive it at your end. I think you would need some extra hardware i.e. a straw or two (technical term for piping internet signals to the appropriate receivers). But we can try.

Sad Crusader picture is a farce

Looks more like his a...



Why do we all have to suffer

Sad crusader's picture just gets rougher



To me his picture is a pain

In it he looks insane



Parents of course can use in as a threat

To frighten naughty kids I bet



The Sad crusader continues to rant and rave

But we know he is just a surly nave



In one of his castles he should stay

Locked up if Hippo had his way



Before the Hippo gets a Poo Bah ban

DC, at least we knew who Hippo was from his avatar!!!!! How do we know that is your photo??



Sorry Hans and others, I do know Hans and know that is a close approximation to him. LOL



Otherwise how do we know which of the pics that britvic has used is her for example. I have no problem with use of photo, avatar or nothing and do not believe it has any relevance to the smooth operation of a forum.



On a more serious note, many who have been here some time will know the stories of people being arrested by GC for carrying documents relating to "illegally purchased properties". Includes those that got off a plane at Larnaca and were arrested as soon as the reached immigration, how they were identified is still open to speculation.



So what happens when you have your name and photo on a forum and then "slag" off the GC government. You cross at Metehan or land at Larnaca and they have you!!!!



Speculation, who knows but I would not take the chance. Don't cross over anyway!!!!!

Cyprusishome, A few of the members can vouch that this photo is indeed me, Lill or Daisy Dukes for example, plus on another forum I have photographs of myself with other forum members.

I think I am quite safe as I never "slag" anyone including the GC Government.
