I wish to Register a Complaint.

Dear Editor,

I wish to complain about the quality of the graphics on your Interweb

When I were a lad you could safely peruse internet forums without being slapped in the face by pairs of nunga-nungas leaping out from every avatar. You should realize that there are impressionable young men reading this site and the last thing they want is to have pairs of hooters forced down their throats. It’s just disgusting.

I will be cancelling my license fee immediately.

How can I be expected to concentrate at work, with all that unrestrained movement going on. I can’t even get up and go for a coffee for 15 minutes after logging on.

Surely, during this election season, your avatars should be reflecting the influential people in the news. What’s wrong with a nice family picture of Mr Clegg for example? A candid shot of Mr Brown playing bowls perhaps. An historical throwback to the Iron Lady, even.

I can only dread the advent of 3-D Internet, after they have 3-D TV sorted.

Ps. How do you get the animated gifs to work in the avatar. Not that I’m interested, you understand. It’s for a friend.

PPS, the jogger is still my favorite….. er I mean the most disgraceful.

It's also very confusing Dermot! I can't tell who posts what now!

It's all Al's fault - he's changed his avatar to a man (which is ok if you like that sort of thing), so naturally we're "all up in arms"! I'd have thought he would have caved by now, but no such luck

Ah Dermot!

You see it all started after I changed my avatar, rather than speak to me about it....a few folk decided to wage an avatar war against me..by either using my old avatar or finding one better but along similar lines!

I am going to admit defeat and change mine back!

LOL ... Thats a great post Dermot !

Thank you, I am glad that you are taking this as seriously as I am. You have standards to maintain. Not very high standards admittedly, but standards nonetheless.

How would you like it if you opened your daily newspaper and there was a scantily clad young lady there? I thought so!

I hope that your new moderator can grasp this problem firmly with both hands and resolve it correctly. I hope a happy ending can be negotiated for everyone involved.


Disgustedly Yours

P.S. Now that’s quite a quandary: Jogger or Oliver Hardy. Ollie has a classic charm, although Alistair, you have become synonymous with the jogger (it’s like Ronnie Corbett’s glasses, Charlie Chaplin’s cane) , so it very un-nerving to see it used by other folks.

I did enjoy the Star Wars themed avatars you ran on the other forum.

Perhaps there should be an Avatar Wall of Fame in the forum somewhere
