It seems that VS is having a few problems working out if posters are male or female. So, before posting please inform her.

Maybe Dave can include this when people register.

btw VS I am still a bloke.

I want the photo page of their passports as their avatar... Cool

And... I've always wondered about you... and Scot47... I think you two are just pretending to be male to hide your true identity. I'm hoping that you still believe my ruse of being female...

IT IS

I need to get a new passport in the next few months. I've been told that all British passports are going down the the biometric way.. whatever that is.

apparently your face needs to take up 80% of the photograph. Would my avatar be ok?

biometric... scary thought.... brings up visions of blood and other body fluid samples and iris scans...

But I didn't think you could use your video self-portrait... doesn't it have to be a still?

I'd press pause when I look through the window.

Good thinking... I didn't know that computers even have a "pause" button. Laughing

This all seems very juvenile. What's the point of this banter? Doesn't really help add to the forums.

But amusing all the same.

VS It is important that we get the nitty gritty on any job situation. It is important for our peace of mind.

I'm not sure why you're telling VS this, as she's been a useful source of information for years now. On the other hand, there have been many instances of late where people have wasted time on arbitrary personal attacks.

Hey bje, perhaps Mr squareandfair has no sense of humor?

He could, of course, complain to Dave about the horror of two long time posters sharing a little joke. Interesting that he only attacked me and not the starter of the thread, dmb. He apparently thinks it is more useful to join the gratuitous attack gang... or perhaps this is just a new screen name for someone we already know. Laughing

I suggest to Mr S&F that whenever he sees my or dmb's avatars that he not read the post... just in case it not follow his personal ideas of what we all should be posting.

Good day to you Sir/Madam. You have never lived in Doha, have you?
