Your Avatar.

[vivandorron]

G'afternoonEd, I am aware that some folk (including myself) are not happy with your Avatar. In fact one ABer said..."Ed, wot av you dun wiv yer avatar? I'm in 2 minds whether you are whooshing in or standing to one side of a multi-coloured roller-blind".

Personally, I have always preferred the one you had of a 'Book and Gavel'. It was indicative that you were a Judge on all matters within AB. A Gnome is not in keeping with my image of you, which is a fair minded person to be fully respected and Not a garden ornament which is a figure to be disrespected, and open to remarks such as I have made in the past...The Ed's away from Gnome today...Etc, etc.

[AB Editor]

Thanks for your input Ron. I'll bring it up at the next shareholder's meeting.

[Wharton]

Ron's a creep.

[snags]

I'm more concerned about the gnome's lack of a fishing rod. I presume that's what is missing...

[vivandorron]

I didn't realise that AB had shareholders. I thought that it was tantamount to being a one man business.

Tell me Ed ..How does one become a shareholder?.

Ron.

[jno]

thank you for sharing, Ron. Perhaps that makes you a shareholder.

[albaqwerty]

ahem, you quoted me.
Now, if I was to tell you how to become a share-holder you'd have to slip me 5 hundred Bristolian pounds :-D

[craft1948]

Due to current financial constraints we've had to let the fishing rod go.......

[albaqwerty]

Craft, you're not carping on about money again?!

[vivandorron]

Alba...Never mind about craft carping on about money, Bristol appears to be the sole place in the uk with it's own currency and you are asking me to cast 500 pounds in your direction. Will you accept pounds of Welsh Laverbread which is highly valued in my part of South Wales.

Ron.

[jno]

Lewes has its own currency. I don't suppose you can use it in Bristol.

[B00]

Wow, Ron's not happy with something on the site.

Who'd have thunk it?

;-)

(and yes, im teasing you Ron xx)

[craft1948]

Wales has a lot to answer for......................

[shoota]

I thought he was just pi**ed.......

[vivandorron]

Cheers B00. Have a Ta from me. Don't tell Viv...I do really love you.:-)

shoota...There was not any need for asterisks....'Pie eyed' is an acceptable expression in AB. :-)

craft...Wales does have a lot for which to answer. Me for instance.:-)

Ron.

I now wish to thank everyone who contributed to this thread and await the outcome of the Ed's next meeting with AB's shareholders.

In the meanwhile, if anyone feels they have a Gnome in their computer, the following may be of interest. :-
