If you ever want to see your dog again, have £100,000 in a paper bag ready to pay his ransom. Await further instructions. Do not call forum mods or police if you want him back alive. He will be returned unharmed (well, maybe a little traumatised) if you follow instructions exactly.

Dear Xie Lin,

Doggone it - that's an instant classic. I'm SO envious that you beat me to it. Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

Regards,
John

Well, "Doggone it," isn't too shabby, John! Laughing

For some reason, this just seems like it would fit you.

Two ideas:

*** Have an artsy friend draw an image of a Boeing 747 with the first "7" replaced by "scot".

*** Steal the logo of your favorite Oddbins label.

Two proposals for you, scotty:

1. Avatar which reflect the experience in the Magic Kingdom:
https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTl1orVNi--CyviwpEpCqvQruLiBwSrG_PBqGfEcaN4sIEqQuCJ

2. Your own avatar from the website "mybolgaria":
http://www.mybulgaria.info/modules/Forums/images/avatars/Calvin%20and%20Hobbes/Calvins%20Dad.gif
from:
http://www.mybulgaria.info/modules.php?name=Forums%20&file=profile&mode=viewprofile&u=738

The choice is yours! Laughing

I have opted for the gentler of the two images suggested. I liked my dog avatar and the hint of being a mad dog let loose on the world.

Will settle for the long suffering father of Calvin (the cartoon character not the French theologian).
