Thanks, Smilin' dave who is, as you say, 91% Fossilised. After nearly 40 years as a Canadian living in Australia I, too, am fossilised or, as I say, Aussified. I'm not sure of the percentage.-Ron

Thanks, Lensky1917(13% Fossilised)....good to see some 'solid citizens' here at HiFo. Lots of Aussification is found Downunder here in the Antipodes.

How do you upload an image for your avatar? I tried searching photostream.com but all images are too big. How do you do it? :moron:

I have a feeling most Hifo's members used a picture off of Pofo.

I just use an old picture of Satan from Reaper.

My current avatar on PoFo is Chad Knaus, who is probably viewed as Satan in NASCAR. :hmm:

Cool, thanks for the advice. Not much of a selection on Pofo I must say but this image will do. I assume its a reference to "Loose lips sinks ships". :cheers:

On Pofo there is a section called 'signature and avatar requests' where you can ask people to convert existing images into ones you can use here.

So sad that show got canceled, but the 2nd season did suck. 1st one was better.

Mr. Price, did you hear about the 20 year sentences those Bahais in Iran received? An outrage >:

Yeah, that was mostly the writing though.

Ray Wise did a great job as the devil in both seasons.
