      Please post links to that sort of thing. Probably marked as NSFW too.

      Switch images off from the control panel, then they turn up as links.

      Nothing to stop embedded video showing up, though.

        That's why he still has a hand.
        Didn't Diver have a chainsaw accident as well? I remember the hand amputation incident, but there were several, IIRC.

          I don't want to turn them all off, I quite like having embedded images. I would just like a little discretion on the part of the posters when placing disturbing or rude images.
          Just saying like.

          I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong!

            You mean like this?



            Seriously- will change to a link in my post if enough people request (perhaps we should have a poll?)

              Right back at you. Dont make me use the Primarolo!




              It is a bit of a gruesome picture, particularly if one of the bedwetters sees it.

                Swift rule of thumb - don't read General if you are worried about people seeing what you are looking at.

                  After I cut my hand off and they'd sown it back on, it had no strength in it for several months so couldn't grip the chainsaw safely, so I had to gaffer tape my hand securely and safely to the chainsaw to finish cutting down the trees in my garden

                      What's it like for ?

                      Does it feel like someone else is doing it?
