This is what I've got in my signature at the moment and it seems to work, although it's not the picture I expected to appear.
I can't upload to my own website from work (mainly because I'm so forgetful that I can't remember the handshaking settings for the server it lives on) so I'll have to put something a bit smaller on my site and then pull that down for a signature.
I find the "swearing" thing very funny
- here crap is not exactly a very rude word, but it certainly comes into the category of "not in front of the children", whereas the normal term for female dog (which I can't say here) is just a word for a girl dog. Yes, you can refer to someone by that word, but it's just impolite rather than swearing. I could say "ooh, that was a bit *****y" and nobody I know would raise an eyebrow, but if I said "That was utter crap" I would be regarded as being really quite rude....Over here a lot of folks in the UK were rather nonplussed by the Austin Powers film "The Spy who Shagged me" for the opposite reason. I suppose that perhaps the word "shagged" isn't regarded as all that rude in the US, but it's considered a very crude term here. Some cinemas used asterisks instead of the word, but in general us childish Britishers got a great deal of amusement seeing where it would turn up!
You know what they say - two nations, devided by a common language....
I am tempted to try and see what other words get turned into asterisks by the BB, but that would be VERY childish, wouldn't it?
Back to eBay related stuff....
I was amazed and delighted to find my new PC sitting in the conservatory when I got home last night. I won the auction on Sunday, paid, the seller sent it on Monday and it arrived with me first post Tuesday. Now THAT'S service!
The memory cards I ordered for my camera still haven't arrived yet though. I asked the seller for help and in looking at the previous messages they had sent me I realised that the parts were being sent from SINGAPORE, even though the seller is registered as an eBay user in the UK and says location is in Jersey! I tend to avoid sending for electronic things from abroad because you never know if they will be compatible, so it's a pity that this particular seller didn't make clear where their warehouse is in the auction. Never mind, they're a very big trader and I can understand why the cards are so long in coming when they've got to come all the way from the far east!
BTW, I'm often lurking about here catching up on what everyone has been up to without having time to post - don't think I've disappeared if I'm quiet!
