Just a quick question buddies, does anyone know of any good Western paperbacks, and I mean The Wild West, you know Cowboys etc? My dad used to read dozens of them and he loved them, so I think I might be missing out on something, but I want to start off on the right track so I don't get put off by a poor book. Any suggestions would be welcome,thanks. Tony.
P.S. Fiction only.

Most anything by Louis Lamour is good. or Max Brand, Andy Adams, William McLeod Raine.

[Ant]

Are you serious?? Just when i was slowly returning to normal! Yeah i tried to sing lastnight but the band drowned me out so i just spoke a load of nonsense instead.

It was good fun though and nothong beats the cider for instant oblivion...mind you i tried a Guinness as well..not a fan!

World Book Day tomorrow, not entirely sure what it's supposed to mean, just to promote books and reading I guess, so that has to be a good thing right?

Yeah it promotes and encourages reading particularly in children and teenagers. School children receive a book token which they can take to participating book stores and select a book (one of eight, again chosen specifically) absolutely free. It's a great concept. I remember getting these tokens in school.

What a great idea. We need more days like this to really get the kids back into reading.

Anyone here know how i can post a new avatar picture without having to chop and change and reduce the size etc so it meets the measurement limits? I want a new one and have always found it a bit of a hassle and i notice a good few members have decent sized pics and im just wondering how they do it. Any advice is much appreciated thanks.

Sorry SKM, but I have exactly the same problem. Every time I change avatars I have exactly the same problem. I have to resize, cut and chop. There has to be an easier way.

[StephenKingman]

^Hmm thanks Gannon ill mention it to Scott to increase the size allowed as its a lot of copying and pasting to get a nice photo

[Gannon]

Great Idea.
