Round here you're avatar is usally done by hand, but is modified into extending the fingers as shown, with the Phrase "smell yer ma", then a palm is extended and "meet yer da"
BIGINOIL & Al Jarvis for services beyond the call of duty 
Ness for the strangest version of 'Hello' this side of Mongolia.
Liam & Lucy for the company on the long slog sarf and back.
Bansheeman & Monty for being bonkers.
Maya for having someone to take the piss out of for living in Siberia.
and loads more that crack me up on 'ere ...
Jonathan,Patrick ,Maya,Boatraceface,Christopher Owens ,Patrick Stewart Appreciation Society and many more for making me fall off my chair with laughter on numerous occasions 
Big-ups to all the usual lot I socialise with in the 'real world'. JG, next time, just push the cnut down the stairs, you know you wanted to. NOO-OORDAA! 
Everyone who did the European circuit (Barca-a-go-go), the London Order, the Pompey Two, and those I speak to on a daily basis away from this site. You know who you are. And of course, everyone who's made an effort to turn up for drinks before gigs. What a fantastic bunch of people we have posting here. Such a shame we don't get more gigs.
Special mentions to the likes of Wolfram and Johnnyboots who helped make the US, and beyond, a pleasure, despite not knowing any of us initially. And the likes of Biginoil who has taken the whole ethos to heart.
Cheers also to Re-order and Digital for giving us an outlet during the days of inactivity.
Heartfelt thanks to the 3rd Battalion for all the comedy mirth.
Biggest thanks finally to Glas Vegas for putting up with the most annoying cnut in the world I know turning up unannounced on his doorstep with a vague reference from me, and showing him the bright lights of Glasgee. Above and beyond the call of duty.

Johnny, for being a decent and friendly bloke who can put up with mountains of abuse.
Steve Campbell, for being a complete nutcase.:D
Richard Oliver, for being a sound bloke.
Christy Wood, for accusing me of being temperamental.
Maya, for the reams of laughs.
Spotnick, for the site.
New Order.:)
And last, but by no means least, not in any way, Christopher Owens.
2005 shout outs to my sparring partners in the US, UK and AU, with whom I've relished trading quips. You know who you are. Apologies if I've stepped on any toes or accused anyone of hermitude without due cause.
Respect also to the clique of hardcore collectors here who share the passion. But would you stop selling your shirts for those eBay promos?
Props to an erstwhile NOOLer who still lurks here occasionally but now prefers to spend his free time tending to his badgers.
Thanks to Spotto and crew behind the scenes, another year of stellar effort.
And finally, a big up to the diehard Aussie NOOLers - CTB, Solitude, Snickers, etc. It's tough being a dedicated fan this far from the action. Between the once-in-a-blue-monday-moon gigs, all we get to do is look on through oh-you've-got-green-eyes at the excitement abroad. Keep the faith true.
