your avatar is 476 pixels wide, the maximum its supposed to be is 80... reduce it, it looks stupid on my screen.

[ASG]

It's not that big on mine! It's only 75x50! What's going on?!?

[Gigglyboots]

All the avatars on this page are quite dinky on my screen...strange David.

[David]

MiniMaximus' avatar is


which is 476 x 61

[Gigglyboots]

It comes up as a peerie white square with a red cross on my screen...what is it meant to be of?

[David]

well the image is
http://www.geocities.com/minimaximus244 ... lecopy.jpg

it displays fine on my machine

[Gigglyboots]

That page is currently unavailable...ah my machines not fine then.

[Sam]

Does the same with mine Giggly, don't worry

[Nablo.]

Don't work for me either.

[David]

interesting - it works fine on my machine.

and it's not cached, as I have cleared the cache. Must be something to do with the internet and ISPS.

[ASG]

Maybe something's up with you, (no offence ) you thought my thing was too big, and it's not, and that URL only works with you. Maybe you should have a chat with Chris...

[magenta]

It's a geocities image, you have to copy & paste the address into a new window. I thought everybody knew that.

[Nablo.]

Oh now It was better when I couldn't see it, as I was thinking it was something good. Not that pathetic thing.

[Sam]

Not exactly worth all that discussion was it?

[Nablo.]

Nope

[ASG]

Yeah, but then, a lot of these discussions aren’t…

[LJ]

I thought you might be interested in the remaining line up of guest presenters for the Official UK Top 40. I know you know a few already but here's all the DJS who are guest presenting after Moyles on Sunday:

Emma B Sunday 8th December 2002
Mark Radcliffe Sunday 15th December 2002
Sara Cox Sunday 22nd December 2002
Nemone Sunday 29th December 2002
Tim Westwood Sunday 5th January 2003
Scott Mills Sunday 12th January 2003


It has yet to be confirmed but it is pretty definite that this is it so unfortunately it look like that there won't no John Peel or the boy Lard with Mark Radcliffe either.

I tried that but it still doesn't work.

I thought avatars had to be 100x100.

I think we should start a campaign to get Riley to join Radcliffe on the chart, that would be comedy genius.

[David]

I never said the image was exciting - I just said it was a bit big for a persons avatar.

Oh Shit no Mic Ball or Mic Hunt

Oh yes... Radio 1 have just made me soo much more happier when I read this!!

DJ John Peel has agreed to present the chart rundown on Radio 1 for the first time in his 35-year career at the station.
Peel, 63, one of the founding voices of Radio 1, will host the weekly Top 40 show as a special one-off.

He has become famous for championing underground artists and is not known for an affinity with mainstream pop music and the charts.

But he said: "I'm really looking forward to it.


Peel was one of Radio 1's founding fathers

"Some of my listeners found out I was doing this and I've had lots and lots of e-mails of encouragement."

Peel, awarded an OBE for his services to broadcasting, will host the Sunday evening rundown on 12 January.

He is among a number of DJs stepping in until a permanent host is appointed following the departure of Mark Goodier.

Goodier, who presented the show for nearly a decade, has left to take over the countdown on Classic FM in the new year.

Last week Jo Whiley became the first woman to ever present the chart rundown.

The next show on Sunday will be hosted by Chris Moyles.


Jo Whiley has also hosted the chart rundown

A Radio 1 spokesman said: "It's been really good having a variety of our presenters fronting The Official UK Top 40 and we're really pleased that John is going to be doing it.

"Everyone's bringing their own individual style to the show and we're sure John will do so too."

Peel is expected to present the show from the studios in London rather than his Suffolk home, Peel Acres, from which a number of his programmes are broadcast.

As one of the DJs involved in the launch of Radio 1 in 1967, Peel has been recognised as the alternative voice of the station for more than 30 years.

He still presents three shows a week on Radio 1 and is also the voice of Radio 4's Home Truths, the weekly magazine chronicling the lives of ordinary people around the UK.
