:) Good man.

Mine is the just simple Windows Tumbling 3D Text reading 'Monkey Tennis?'.

:) Good man.

It does the job. :)

I don't have one myself.

I'm not screensaverist though, I know lots of screensavers.

I did always like Tim's scrolling text one in The Office which said "Gareth Is A Benny". I remember when that used to be a widely-used term of abuse. (Just the Benny part obviously.) :)

Yes, this thread always makes me think of that.

I think I was still at junior school when it was a popular put-down. I presume its origins lay in Benny from Crossroads. Blimey, that takes me back...

Yes! I remember using it too. :D

"You Benny!" was far less controversial than "You Joey!" from around the same era, of course.

I never knew about the Benny insult until The Office. I heard the Joey one first in Spaced, but my older brother had to explain it to me. :)

Once Benny turned up Joey didn't have a chance.

Especially after poor Joey died. :(
