Do you still not see *any* avatars ?

Nope

Unless I shut down the IE window/tab, then restart a new IE window/tab in which case the avatars are back.

And I refresh....and they're gone.

And I enter a new message....and they're back

Refresh and they're gone. etc etc

Does it say "User Avatar" in it's place ?

It does (but entering this message caused them to reappear again. Let's see what happens after an edit)

Back after an edit.

So true. I bet they don't even play Hurling over there.

Yes, I had forgotten about the name of the ice rink. The local swimming baths next door. Both still there. The ice rink is looking rather shabby now it has to be said. There are plans for a redevelopment which will spruce it up a bit. Attached to the ice rink was a night club/disco called the Bali Hai or something like that. The council run swimming pool has survived various closure attempts.

Me and a couple of mates would go swimming every Sunday morning then get a bag of chips and coke afterwards. By the side of the ice rink, there was this small lift like a dumb waiter where goods could be sent up from outside. Anyway, we found that somebody had forgotten to lock it and we kept sending it up and down. Then I had this wheeze of an idea that Kevin was small enough to go inside it. He agrees and I press the button to send him up and that's fine. Then I press the button to bring him back down again. The only trouble was, it got stuck halfway down. Understandably he started to panick. We had to tell the staff we were messing around and our mate was stuck in the lift and he very wasn't happy. Cue the fire brigade! They got him out, a little shaken but no long lasting damage apart from an aversion to very small lifts for the rest of his life.

Yes, our back garden backed on to the railway line from Streatham station. What else, the Cat's Whiskers by Streatham Hill, another favourite with the local's. Timothy Whites, Mac Fisheries, the John Lewis Dept store (Pratts). Odeon and ABC cinema's too.

How dare you.

Without Sweden there would be no Dolph Lundgren. And without Dolph, there would be no Rocky IV. Well, I guess there would be a Rocky IV...but it wouldn't be as cool as it is now.

When they disappear, do any show up or are they *all* gone ?

What about any other posted pics ? or is it just avatars ..?

Just so you don't think you are going crazy, I have had it happen once or twice but they always come back next refresh ..

Afternoon all.

I can't believe that no one has run with this a bit more so it looks like it's down to me.

John, your jigger looks enormous!

Ithankyew

It's funny how in American movies, Russian characters are never played by Russian actors... It's always people from countries like Sweden, Germany or some eastern european country.

Recently I saw a movie with a character named "The Swede", and he was played by a (tall, blonde) guy from Czechoslovakia.

Yeah but Tupac, the marathon is a race.....

A bit like Ireland, you mean?

Surely a bit like England?

Bag of shite of a country. Arsenal aside. It's got toilets like Manchester and Slough in it for a start.

So 'jigger' is a nickname for a bald patch?

Just as well for me that I am already running a temperature today John and heh,heh,heh.

I need cheering up.

Me Too... It's that shiver then bake illness and frequent trips to see John and his avatar...

Still we think we have problems and others think Arsenal have problems, take a look at this persons problem...

Don't think tablets are going to help...

Very good Steve, it could be worse right? Right.

They have drawn less as well. Socrates, correctly, points why he thinks we lost the game and if that will be a problem in the next few games we play.

For those of you who need cheering up:



See, things doesn't always have to be complicated...

Gunny, Tupac can speak all he wants, but I doubt he could work away of making us Lose the game, we drew...

Your Mum giving you too much Coke, you know what it does to the system...

Sorry could not find RTG's maybe Rog could find a pair and add to the Smilie list...

Hate to pull you up on this one, but Slough is no longer part of England , it has been invaded and taken over by thousand of Vlads!!!

The Vlads (haven't got a clue who they are btw) are welcome to it. I look forward to its earliest secession.

ah memories!, as a fellow south west Londoner - from over the border in Tooting - i know these landmarks, well, the bali Hai had a window at the back allowing you took look over the scatters, ore even the Streatham redskins when they played ice hockey, the Redskins were the 'Liverpool' of their day (late 70's-80's) and were the best ice hockey team in the country for a few years.

The cats Whiskers was another favourite (probably still the Locarno in mee's day), particularly sunday night, they used to have a top 40 covers band and a DJ, and the revolving stage used to alternate every hour or so. I remember the odeon well, saw Ian Drury their circa 1978.

I recall coming out of a movie late one Friday afternoon (must of been out of work at the time) and seeing a coach stuck in traffic on Streatham High road, looked in the window and was face to face with Peter Shilton, I gave him the thumbs down and he mouthed f*** off back to me, i then saw Burns and Anderson and realised it was the Forest Team bus on their way to play Brighton, i guess it was 1980/81 period

Did you see that program on Frank Aitken last night, John? If you did, you would have seen my history teacher in school. Otherwise known as, The Doc.

Old Harlow, back in 1987... Mates wedding, someone had the great idea to dance in our pant's...

Take a look at Old Harlow keeping the Arsenal end up... Nice tie too, very nice, very tasteful...

Keith (Clifford Chance) showing a bit more, but it was his Wedding, Old Delboy the Millwall fan (Cameron McKenna) and nutty Mickey Pearce one of the funniest guys you'll meet...

After turning off those poxy smilies, your leaden attempt at humour is translated as "icon cheesy grin" - says more about you than a smily ever can, Lil.

Looks like I,m in then

Old "H" in Disneyland, Florida, back in 1992... Wear your colours...

This site is becoming very scarey.....
