Any idea why imageshack pics don't work for me? All I'm seeing are frozen frogs.  ???

I want some of whatever you're on.
Got a vibrtating love egg stuck in wor lass last night. The string snapped to get it out. It was remote control so I kept turning it on, then i realised she was nearly crying. Had to fish it out. Never mind.

I looked the devil in the eye, went home and jerked off. That's standard procedure.

Too big is normally the reason for that.

A bit of a controversial suggestion, but I reckon gifs should be banned from sigs and avatars, or at least images over a certain size. Its so annoying waiting for a page to load because theres about 10 gifs on it, especially if you're loading things in other tabs (i.e. video content etc on match days). People even have them in their sigs AND avatars, just ridiculous, there is nothing wrong with having a still image as an avatar.
“What is a club in any case? Not the buildings or the directors or the people who are paid to represent it. It’s not the television contracts, get-out clauses, marketing departments or executive boxes. It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city. It’s a small boy clambering up stadium steps for the very first time, gripping his father’s hand, gawping at that hallowed stretch of turf beneath him and, without being able to do a thing about it, falling in love.” - Sir Bobby Robson

Look at the forum thru black and white eyes like the best of us.
They keep saying their strategy will take several years to implement, I accept this and realise that in the future we may be able to hold onto players much easier if we manage to achieve success without burning cash to get there. There's next to no point in overspending until you're in the s*** to get to Europe, only to fall out of it for several years and potentially enter relegation battles. Be frugal, spend the money wisely but at all times keep a core of good players in the side and try the utmost to create a core which is reasonably stable for three-four years.

I fully expect to get slayed and slated here for being a w***** apologist and maybe I'm wrong, maybe all they care about is lining their pockets and f***ing us over but you can argue it both ways. The haters have a more aggressive way of talking about it but we'll not know who's right until MA's ownership comes to an end.

Nothing wrong with you turning off avatars and sigs in your account settings either if it bothers you that much. Or getting a better connection, who the hell waits for anything to load these days? :lol: (If you're on a smart phone, just start using the WAP version of the forum instead of the full scale one.)

You'd (possibly) never have seen bouncing Scarlett if gifs were banned, think about that. THINK ABOUT THAT.



Matter of fact, time for a comeback tbh. At least until Decky the dial-up nazi gets his way. :huff:

There are limits btw. We can't prevent linking to certain sized external files though.

Like Kaizero (or whoever it was) says, you can turn avatars and sigs off if you like.

I don't see any problem with them (and my connection is s***)

I live in the countryside. I also shouldnt have to hide ALL avatars because of a select few. Ive opted for the adblock option.

Past few days at random points, the forum's been slow to load for me; which is odd since other sites are working fine. Bizarre.
Got a vibrtating love egg stuck in wor lass last night. The string snapped to get it out. It was remote control so I kept turning it on, then i realised she was nearly crying. Had to fish it out. Never mind.

I looked the devil in the eye, went home and jerked off. That's standard procedure.

Sir John Hall: "I was told that the man behind the deal was Mike Ashley and I sat with his representatives over three days thrashing out a deal. I was keen to know why they wanted the club and they were quite honest. They wanted to market their sports goods in the Far East and would use the club to help do this."
