The first time I saw it I was very tired and got pretty confused TBH

I do like to try and confuse and annoy in equal measure so it's my ideal avatar !!

Damned thing just won't die......
Anyway.....
Adblock plus- It's dead.
On another forum I frequent people get banned for using animated avatars and sigs.

There you go. Got rid of the Fly because I am such a nice person and just as all XC employees I aim to please !!

I never said I had a problem with it and besides I had already adblocked it.
If only something similar could be invented to make rail travel more palatable, annoying passenger block I'd call it.

Martin-Baker make something along these lines, but it's not really taken off in the rail sector - something about the cost of roof panels and OHLE hazards...

I rather liked the previous big toe avatar with the camel on it....if that was what I assumed it to be.

I am sure that I have seen an avatar with the computer "Damn not found" scrolling on this forum somewhere.

It confused me did that fly. At first I thought it was funny it was running round in such a small circle. Then I thought it was really funny because it looked like an animated avatar. Then I realised it *was* an animated avatar. Doh! To be fair, I was three sheets to the wind.

Surely they should have DB logos.
That was XCDriver's avatar before the fly so you're not going mad :P
I quite liked that avatar too
