General Observation

[Doc Vernon]

Hi to all This is just a general observation and nothing meant here! I was looking in at a few of the posts over the last few days,and have noticed that there are still many Members here who dont have an Avatar! Now this could well be for a few reasons, one that possibly some dont wish one,and thats fine no sweat,could also be that some want one and just dont know how to create one,in this case if anyone does want to have one (an Avatar that is LOL) then please do let us know,and between the team we will help you on this!
The same applies to a Signature!
The following Link posted by Tony will assist ! http://www.merchant-navy.net/forum/h...-settings.html
As said just an observation Lads!
Thanks for reading
Cheers

Wouldn't have a clue how to do. Didn't even know what an Avtar was. A bigger ship than Cappys would be ok for someone. Cappys galleon bobbing around makes me seasick. A ship like the Victory could sink it. Then Cappy could get a U-boat and go berserk firing torpedos at everything floating. Got bad weather up there yet Cappy??? Cheers John Sabourn

The problem Vernon maybe that many members saw the movie Avatar and do not want to look like that.

Cappy. Alf
The owners of the A1 café (Upstairs next to the Scotia) retired but I believe their son, or some relation to them, still have a café in Shields in the Denmark centre.
