Hey b3tards,
It's taken me a long time to join but thought I'd share my massive snowpeople with you.
These were built outside the London Eye. The core team was me and two sisters, but the balls were so massive that we had to get passers-by involved.
Lifting the second ball on to the base was a big job (though not as large as my enormous images - how do I shrink them?).
After a short break we made a third. This was a penguin on a rock. Another big double ball base was built, before placing a 3 foot penguin on top. Photos of 'Penguin on Crag Rock' to follow.
To get some idea of the scale, I am 6 foot 4 and in large boots. These snowpeople (don't want to be sexy) are easily 9 foot high.

Licking the snowlady. She loves it.

This was meant to be a 'Me with my bitches' photo. Unfortunately the fat ass of snowman on my right has made me adopt a flaming hip swerve. I like it.
(Thanks for the help with my massive images. Gosh, they were big, weren't they?).

There's no excuse.
An L plate doesn't mean someone can post massive images that fuck up my screen as I try and scroll past them.

There is somebody really annoying on the board, is it OK to be rude to them?
Absolutely not. If you are really annoyed by another boarder, you can click the 'Ignore' button under their posts and everything they post will be hidden from you (you can always un-ignore them later if you like). Please don't be horrible to other people just because they are new, or you didn't like their picture, or posted something that bothers you. If you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything.
you wanna quote it, abide by it.

I just don't care to have my screen all messed up when I try and scroll past.
I just reformatted last night and haven't installed my graphics card drivers yet, I was up until 4 trying to get everything else sorted, and now I'm having a bunch of internet fatties have a go at me for not wanting my screen to burst into fucking flame.
I apologise for being "a touch cranky" as it were.
Bunch of fucking hypocrites.
Can you honestly tell me you've never been rude to someone on this board?

it was the two giant images taking up the screen, it was making it go all funny.
And the fact that it's written in the faq means there's not really an excuse to not know about image dimensions.

i even put a "yeah, you got me to bite..." to make it clear it was a joke.

but I think what sets you apart from other people who posts humourous images ripping the piss out of people who fuck up a post is that you are yet to belong to a clique and lose your L-plates.
When you no longer have the L-plates, and you're "known" on board, then you can flame n00bs as much as you want it will be accepted.
