Your Favourite Banksy [Your Favourite Banksy]

I'm getting my new office soon, and since it's going to be situated in the attic of my house (which has a pitched roof), I'm going to get the roof graffiti-ized by a friend of mine who's been doing it at GCSE. I've seen some of his Banksy copies, and they're pretty good, so I was thinking of getting one side of the roof done with the Tesco flag and the Double-Yellow-Daisy intertwined (since they're both next to pavements/road, it could be done rather nicely) and the other side done with a silhouette of a city all the way up the wall.

So, what's your favourite Banksy?

I like the rat, the Double-Yellow-Daisy and the Tesco flag.

Just to clarify here, what is happening with my account? I was talking to Mike a while ago, and he said he'd get Lloyd_Humph tied to my @lloydhumphreys.com address, but when I try to sign in with that it just goes to the "sign up" page (put your desired username in).

Now I can't get into it at all :\

GTalk or Live? [GTalk or Live?]

I find it difficult to decide. Now, I love GTalk, but if I were allowed to talk to my WLM friends (ie the 200 WLM friends vs the ..5 GTalk)via GTalk I'd do it. The windows are clean and tidy and they all tab nicely. WLM only gets to the same "place" once you strip away all the menus, and even then it's not my favourite. Then again, WLM is nice, and it's packed with features, and maybe that's its problem? Too many features packed. GTalks minimalistic UI has the VOIP, and the file transfer, and I've never found a *need* for webcam.

So GTalk + WLM friend list. Plus, GTalk works on my Blackberry (its pretty much a straight port, apart from VOIP), which is really useful. WLM refuses to, unless I use the dreadful online service which refreshes every time I send a message :| Painful on a mobile device.

Help Me Get My Own Back [Help Me Get My Own Back]

This seems to happen more and more these days - idiots at my school sign up for new email addresses, add my Live Messenger, goof around and request graphic work - then laugh about it with printed transcripts of my conversation the next day. I'm starting to get a little narked, to be honest, and so when what I suspect to be a similar conversation just popped up, I thought I'd come to good ol' C9 for some help.

Any ideas on just how I could turn the tables and get my own back? Preferably leading them into a trap which makes them look stupid... to discourage further pranks. I don't even know how they found out about it, though it is mentioned on my blog.. and those of you who visit it will know I get a constant barrage of insults from idiot peers in my comments.

Sucks to be me but maybe I'll be able to get my own back... I'm "out for a couple of hours" with the promise to get back to them.. work your magic guys'n'gal :P
