Hi Camile, we are just back from Midi Pyrenee and at no time did I hear the technical term "Muppet" used, I think you have picked up some very useful phrases in the Wesht.

Good luck with Blowin's PC but dont let him suggest that you look at his sheds as he might suggest a little work before you can go.....

Hi,

Indeed there are a few terms like that comes in handy .. and I couldn't think of anything else that would fit !

I think that shows that I spent too much time here indeed !

but we have the same one in french though .. it's "marionnette" ..

and as you might have noticed, there are plenty of occasions to use it in France too ,.,

Hi Jack , good to have you back .
It is indeed easier to do it the way you suggest but that brings the full sized picture down ( the size you have adjusted it to in Photobucket , which would be either a thumbnail or the " noticeboard " picture size ( 640 x 480 ? ) . The clickable thumbnail is quicker to download but the viewer still has the option of seeing the bigger version if he/she wants to .
I guess you wouldn't notice the difference in speed if you had even a half-way decent internet connection but the landlines here run at a heady 28.6 kbs ( whatever those are ) so it would take a while to view a post with more than a couple of pics .
There isn't a problem at the moment but , I dunno , people might start being sociable and post up a lot of xmas cards or something ! Laughing

. If that arises we might need to ask everyone to use the thumbnails but they should just carry on with whatever suits them best for now . Wink

You'd think I was after the Admin job , wouldn't you ? Laughing

Fair enough. I had forgotten about that old slow landline stuff.
