    Thats It,--- I CANT stand it no more!!!!! Why am I refered to as OLD. I have not mentioned my age. Its not in my profile. Is it because I am retired?

    As a general rule, when a person does not mention his/her age, then it is determined by their attitude, general conduct, and exactness in remembrance. Perhaps if you were less curmudgeonly, more tolerant of the view point of others (particularly when they're correct and you're not - which is most of the time) and practiced better spelling and grammar others would either think you're younger or respect your wisdom and consider you a distinguished elder.

    Never mind. That'll never happen. Just live with being considered "old". :p

    Ha- ha --water of a ducks back Tim.

    So by your reckoning then Artemis you must be about 135.

    Artemis has not liked me since I said I did not believe in god. He got the hump over that.

    But hey the guys older than my dad. Respect your elders I say.

    My Grandad talked utter crap too, when he got old.

    Frosty was that age, weight or I.Q.

    but I can understand you not believing in GOD, after all why should you believe in a young whippersnapper that you've known all his life - and then some!

    Surely more to the point Frosty - does God believe in you ?

    Like your new 'logo' by the way. I take it, it is a genuine likeness. Not some trumped up cartoon sketch ?

    Avatar, Bergy, avatar. But yes, it is the crossest looking snowman I ever did see.

    Well aware of that PI - it's just that in Thai 'avatar' means "I am a reincarnation of Elvis Presley and wish to poke a pineapple up your mother-in-law's bum..."
    So you must admit that 'logo' is a far nicer word.:)

    Oh. Fair point. My Thai is a little rusty, so I'll take your word for it...

    Ah - hold it. I've just been informed by my Thai houseboy that 'Logo' in fact translates as: "My mother-in-law once stuck a pineapple up Elvis Presley's bum...." (this would perhaps account for the aggrivation of his pelvic girdle...assuming he wore one...) :(

    I thought those were James Dean's dying words? I must be getting confused.

    Yes confused PI. In Thai, the late Mr Dean's final words were: "Phuk Mee".

    He discovered pavel915's avatar and was so embarrassed to, by comparison, look so OLD that he decided to change. An added advantage is that he can remove any new AGE lines by melting a little. :p
