I do! And I look at them with great pride.
Because the pictures were taken from people here on the forum, they are very personal & special to me. If I want a particular picture, I pm the person and ask permission. If the photo is done in high quality you should be able to blow it up quite large as I've done. I had them printed at Big W the very first time and they over exposed and ruined the pics so won't be going back there again. They really do look quite amazing in a beautiful frame.

Humayan (Octane) and Baz sell professionally some amazing work as well.

If you have self respect and care about others you've got most of what it takes to be a worthwhile human being. (IMHO)

Beautiful post, just, just, beautiful!

Ain't nobody in here 'cept us chickens! Just go for it, Mishku. Given my number of posts, I probably hold the record for the number of silly things said!

After a while you learn to filter out those things that are not what you like and enjoy the things that please you
Mishku and I hope you enjoy your stay
Cheers

You have to remember too this is a somewhat artificial form of communication of course for humans. It's very easy to mis-understand the true intent of what people are saying, and likewise easy to feel pretty bad if you're pretty sure someone was giving you a biff.

Rest assured there are plenty of hugs to go 'round as required, and if you're still feeling bad head outside at night, look up, take a few deep breaths, and remember what it's all about
(better still, do that latter bit on a field full of friends over a glass of favourite ale perhaps....)
