Thread: AVATAR ?

G'day all. Too damn hot here today. About 35c.



How do I insert a Avater into my accounts ? I have been to 'edit avatar' but, do not like those on the list. Prefer to choose my own.

I used to have the West Australian flag on my mails. That disappeared following the change of this sites format.



Jimbo ....... still sweating !

G'day Jimbo



Can you send some of that heat to Scottieland please... Its affy cold here at the mo. D



Sorry but only AA supporters can upload different avatars from their computers.

Hi Raven. If Scotland had had more sunshine & warmth. I would never have left the old country. My last visit to relatives there was when I was 15. I stayed in "Old Reekie" but, toured as far as Stirling, Loch Lomond & Glassgie. All by SMT & train. It was cheap then.

I saw Hib's & Hearts play @ Easter Rd & Tyncastle. That was the time of the great Laurie Reilly & Gordon Smith. Memories I still treasure.



Sorry about the Avatars as they give the insight of a Members personality.



Regards ...... Jimbo.

HI Jimbo,



lol I wish it were a bit warmer as well...



SMT..sheesh you is going back now.. My dad used to drive for them many moons ago. When we were kids Loch Lomond was our favourite day away fae Kilmarnock...lol

Hi Jimbo,



The reason for the AA Supporters is to assist us in the upkeep of AA and to keep it running.

Kindest regards

Hi Kelly. If that is the case it must have ocurred during the change over early in the year. My avater then was a piccy of the W.A State flag, with a black Swan on it.

Being a pensioner, our Dollar is less than half value of your Pound. So you can see that at 10 pounds a year I would have to pay $ 24-00. Now you know why we Aussie's go for free sites. It's not because of my Scots & Irish ancestors.

Plus, my P/C is about to go 'Kaput'. It has taken me 2 hours to get AA site to come up.



Have a merry Christmas. Jimbo

Amen, Jimbo. To put it into perspective a bit more. Brits can spend a pound as quickly as we can spend a dollar. It's just that the pound costs us roughly $2 which doubles our cost of living should we visit Britain but makes it attractive for visitors to Oz. Mind you, a Yorkshireman visited our Nestle plant late 08. I asked him was he staying on for a look around as it was his first visit.....'No, too dear!!!!' I couldn't work that out at all. A canny Scot would have seen the value. First Yorkshireman I have ever met, so I can't generalise, guess there are dills everywhere. A mate returned home from Ireland for the first time in 20 years and I caught up with him on New Years Eve. Traded his Euros for $'s, drinking like a man with an Irish thirst. The conversion rate was so good it was a case of 'Why was God so unkind? Two hands and only one mouth.' Two drunks at the end of the night for the cost of one.

A cousin plans a trip to London, Manchester and Cornwall in 09. She has been advised to budget $30,000 for five weeks for two of them. I could buy a decent late model 2nd hand car for that.

Regards, Laurie
