peter Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 This was one of those silly ideas that just needed to be done. My partner has 4 gerbils and her sister has a single male hamster. So I thought it would be funny to knock up a rough and ready card, based on my photos and a stock picture of the web. To make it look more studenty, I made the photos look cheap 'n' cheerful, stuck on the main picture, with Dymo tape styled messages from each rodent, pasted onto something resembling a cork board. Not one to plagiarise, honest...some of the messages might look familiar. Yes, everybody loved it.

Alfred Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Just as an FYI, gerbils used to feature prominently on the old Serif Forums! If the server went down (especially if it happened at the weekend) it would be blamed on someone at Serif having forgotten to feed them, and I’m sure there were numerous other examples.

peter Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 It's been a while, since I was there. Does this explain the change in pets, seeing as the Affinity team seem to be a bit feline fixated? Should I ask where the gerbies went?

peter Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 Yes, I forgot to add the letters est, to the word small. Blame it on the Baileys.

Kasper-V Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Well, you can't expect perfect grammar from a gerbil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sacboi Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Cuteness personified, indeed 🥰 I'd happily watch a hamster stuff it's cheeks with all manner of goodies, just has in my opinion a certain meditative quality if one is stressed 👌 peter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
