Ding, Dong. Avon Calling!

[EmmaP]

I need an Avon lady - NOW!

Talking with my friend in Israel last night, she was bemoaning the fact that the mosquitoes are out in force and feasting on her flesh like there is no tomorrow.

I was telling her about Avon's miraculous mossie repellant, Skin So Soft. Can any of you knowledgeable folk tell me how one goes about tracking down the old Avon lady as it is my friend's birthday in four weeks and a year's supply of the stuff would go down a treat.

Oh yes! I forgot to mention, it is 20 degrees centigrade in Israel at the moment.

When it's hot like that I encourage Mrs Sparky to go 'commando'

Well, it keeps the flies off me ice-cream.

From here by any chance?

A shotgun will repell most flying insects.

Fun, too.

It's like the peaceful use of atomic power. Except noisier.

And you don't have to eat them

I'll hide behind a tree if you feed me sandwiches....

Flashpoint fan, must be good.
She must be fed up of seeing my ugly mug.

Are you in it then?

[parrot of doom]

Don't eat Bananas - the scent on her sweat will attract Mossies.

Oh! Didn't know that. I'll pass that top tip on to her.

I work at Codemasters. When Richard Blenkinsop, our producer on OF, was building facial images for the cast of characters he picked on me. Perhaps because I am a little older than most people here and he needed to portray a senior officer. He made our Chairman into the big, bad nasty character! Anyway I am now on millions of computers worldwide and people have spent countless millions of hours looking at my ugly image:

I have tried to get one of my cars into Race Driver but so far without luck!

Quality! There aren't many games that old that I still play but I love OF. I'll have to hunt you down later
