# is gimp any good at it?

# Screwing around with the colour depth
has reduced it in size to 128kb, but it's still not fantastic.

# true story
a mate of mine pulled a fat bird and took her back to his flat student house which he shard with another one of my mates...

me and this other mate and 2 other lads were drinking and could hear the moans and groans from upstairs.... at one point we heard a female voice saying "I'll get on top" to which we also heard the reply "NO U FUCKING WONT!"

needles to say she didn't hang around too long afterwards :)
