  4. @mick2me All advice is gratefully received , I am new to web design really this is the first site I have really done anything with. I can network, build a pc from the first screw etc. and Administrate thousands of users.... but web design and admin is something else. I recently purchased (Through the UTE Mag) Fireworks and Dreamweaver and Design Standard so am hoping to find some more time to dedicate to the website and improve it. Could you elaborate on your suggestion re: the Village names etc. I really am new to Web stuff so any help getting it noticed and getting more hits would be amazi

  7. Three weeks ago my cartridges ran out, i bought some non branded ones that didn't work after printing one picture, the branded ones came out at about 40 quid, I logged onto the web, and search for HP printers, I got a HP 3050 all in one wireless printer including cartridges for £34.99 at Tesco Direct it came express delivery £5 next morning, the cartridges were standard HP Cartridges not the starter ones so bonus all round, all in one printer (print scan copy), wireless (I can print from mobile fone and email direct to the printer as well as everyone with a laptop for 500 yards) and cartridg

  9. Hi, Yes I am in Great Longstone, there are several flower events coming up but the Great Longstone Flower Festival will be at St. Giles' Church in Great Longstone, Saturday May 12th to 19th Inclusive and then there is also the Church of the Good Shepherd in Wardlow on June 2nd to 10th (during Queen’s Jubilee week). I can recommend The Crispin Inn for a good pub lunch and really good beer or if you are one of those 'Gastro' types then the White Lion does some of that, personally...The Crispin, I'm a Steak and Ale pie man myself as my waistline will attest, I have a website with some details o
  10. Fings definitely ain't what they used to be...you ought to see it round here on Bank Holidays...bedlam...we've had a road closed now for a fortnight for a burst water main and all the traffic is diverted through our village...its like piccadilly...or Radford when goose fairs on...do they still have goose fair?
  11. I moan at our youngest girl because she says stuff that is nonsense, and she seems to have a knack of using a single word to make the bottle come off the pop, when she gets told off for anything or she's in a gripey mood she'll answer you with 'and' with a questioning tone...it drives me mad, but I remember when I was a kid and mam and dad had a row, they would be saying 'such as' again with a questioning tone and each time one of them would have a go at the other and cite a problem the other would say 'such as' and it drove me crackers then too...my brother was not one of the worlds most prac

  13. I did realise the date etc. thanks....I was just trawling through looking for any interesting titbits as all threads I was watching seemed to peter out except one from RGR or something which just kinda went into this Tsunami of photographs from Americana Newark....I cant find very much on Player (Grammar/Bilateral/Comprehensive) at all even on the web its like it didn't exist....maybe it was a figment of my imagination...anyway nice to see everyone alive and kicking well some of you...Another tick for Babs too my missus didn't swear til she met me either...lol...she used to say that I spoke p
