My favorite whistle - Granite Falls in D.
My favorite wine - californian White Zinfandel
And a beatiful waltz - Duke of Kent

In the football sense we actually had one of the most feared crews (aberdeen soccer casuals) in the UK during the 80s. So yes.

Bunch of idiots kicking lumps out of each other all over the country instead of watching the damn game.

My avatar is of a character called 'Ushiwaka' from one of my favourite games called Okami. Normally I have an avatar of a European Buzzard as I'm into falconry and that is the bird I hope to take on next year, but I had a better idea for this forum

I picked Waka for my avatar as he's one of my favourite characters, plus he plays a flute and his theme is one of my most loved pieces of music from the game, and one of my favourite flutey-kinda pieces of music in general

My avatar is a silk painting of a duck. It's the first silk painting a friend of mine did. I had a pet duck when I was seven, and I still like ducks. They make me smile, so she did the painting for me.

Best wishes,
Jerry

Duck? Really?

I always thought it was a whale.

I remember there was a huge debate about whether it was a whale or a mouse and you were like "um it's a duck people"

I'll have to think about that. I'm pretty sure it was a duck, but then, I was only seven.

Best wishes,

I like your sense of humor, Jerry. But it's really like a Rorschach inkblot test. It reveals far more about the viewer than the creator.

I don't care what Jerry says, it's a mouse.

I've always had no doubt whatsoever it was a mouse.

I think the first time I noticed it was in a very amusing thread about a mouse who used to frequent Jerry's kitchen. Hence I assumed....it looks like a mouse, he has mouse issues....therefore....

Absolutely, it's a mouse.

A duck? A whale? Whatever are you people smoking???

Nose hair?! I always assumed you had a mustache and beard!!!

And you sir... would be wrong.

Its a whale, of glorious proportions, regardless of what you or Jerry says.

Smoking Ketida?

Why whale meat of course!

Hooliganism is a growing problem here in Sweden. There has alwas been some violonce connected with fooball, but now the hooligans seem to be more organized.

Have you heard Bill Hick´s sketch about hooligans?

I must say I´m surprised that there will be no team from GB. England didn´t make it to the European Championship and Northern Ireland and Scotland didn´t either. I´ve heard rumours that Svennis will be back after England´s sacking of McClaren.
