I used to be Doc-B but I've turned to the Dark Side. Seems a bit more friendly around here, and I only join forums for the banter. Posting your pic seems to be the done thing so this are my favourite ever pictures of myself kidding around at my photography class. The women who took these are way better at photography than me though! Let me know if these images don't work - DB _________________ Leaves your gusset lemon fresh...

Don't know what to say really about t'other place - shocked at how quickly it went down hill and readily admit I may have contributed to that by arguing the toss over stuff that was clearly focused around an agenda no-one was going to admit to. It's still going on - a guy called Scamper is testing the waters and not getting anywhere with the usual suspects. Autocar could be empty by the end of next month if it carrys on the way it's been going lately. Oh, you've all been slagged off too by JJ/James Read or whatever he's been calling himself this week - he thinks we are all part of a global conspiracy to dominate the world. I could be wrong - no dramas - but are these two the same person? He might have a point on the world domination thing.......... I'm a lover - not a fighter...so time to rock out with our c*cks out...   I've been wanting to say that for a bout 4 days but could think of the right place to insert the comment. Please forgive me.
