Surely the posting of a gratuitously disturbing if not downright offensive image like this, quite off-topic and irrelevant to the entire 'point' of this forum, is just as irresponsible and unacceptable as the betting and insurance rubbish that we were all trying to get away from?

Nice to see that sparkling wit and friendly banter continue undiminished on the new forum.

Well done, chaps!!

Hum, er...WillDrawl does have a point.
It was a very nasty picture until someone had the good sense and the aesthetic sensibibility to remove it.
It's a pity that Mike didn't have the good grace to acknowledge this and merely shouted an insult instead, just like the 'old days' . Some things don't change do they?

I blame "yah-boo-sucks" journalism and a general decline in moral standards. Oh, and the change in licensing laws.

That's what YOU saw because presumably you know and somehow, for whatever reason, 'like' that picture, Mike.
But what the casual observer sees/ saw is a woman looking a bit like a poor disabled Peruvian beggar whose feet have been amputated, standing on her stumps of legs next to a big car.
The connexion between the horn, its mouthpeices and your photograph seems a bit bizzarre don't you think? And if you think the photo was so great, and appropriate to this web forum, why was it removed?
Sorry Mike I don't follow the logic of all this.
Kevin

You two need your heads banging together. Mike likes the picture, Kevin doesn't. The issue will never be resolved unless TC comes on and says what he thinks, and I suspect he won't bother.

Lighten up and leave the petty point-scoring. It's a bore.

We got rid of the pictures because they were nothing to do with horns or horn playing. There was a woman standing knee deep in mud in front of a car which was stuck in the mud up to half way up its wheels I think. It was not relevant to this forum. We understand that avatars are enabled but haven't felt the need to try them out. Let us know if you have any luck with them. How important are they?
