Lizzie. Sounds like you were doing fine and then chickened out . You are supposed to get a lot of letters and numbers in the Reply Box - that is the image's URL address. Do it again and then click the button that transmits the contents of the Reply Box. The URL address is then converted to the actual image. As I have said, if after you have posted the Reply Box and do not get an image, but get the URL letters and numbers, then click the go-back arrow at top left of screen, and then untick the HTML square and then re-post. Don't know why this does this, but keep in mind if this problem arises.

We are still waiting Lizzie Dripping. Can't hold my breath for much longer! Congrats to Melissa on 1000 Likes.

Robbie. Just tried logging-in to Photobucket via Explorer and everything worked OK. OK also when I went into upload. All pages looked as they have always done. Hopefully, you have got a temporary glitch.

I think one of the main problems with getting Photobucket images into a message is that from the library there are ten clicks to getting success. It is so easy to get them wrong if they are not spelled out simply. Apart from your explanation, Michael, no-one has come up with a good set of instructions, despite knowing how to do it. Your instructions differ slightly from mine, and I wonder if there is a conflict caused by different computer operating systems. I use Window 7 Home Premium. Other operating systems might not follow my instructions correctly. Would be interesting to see if any membe

Cabbage!!, Now you are talking food again. What's going to be on the celebration menu?

Well, well, well. You did it gel. That's a pint you owe me! Dead easy, innit.

carni and Sue B 48, and any other frustrated Photobucketeers. Re the Photobucket instructions above in my #30, lines D.7 to D.12 have been amended to make it a little easier to post an image. I have tried it and it works fine. No excuses now, let's see some trial posts - you will have tears of joy running down your cheeks when it all goes to plan.

Just testing

Just spotted - I should have added a C4 instruction. Have now done

URL is UNIFORM RESOURCE LOCATOR, in other words a Web address. Typical of Americans, they cannot give something a simple name. You do not have to know this with regard to above, just recognise it where it appears in the instruction.

Further to my #1 above giving instructions on how to post images via Photobucket, feedback seems to indicate that it has helped some members but they are still some difficulties with others. I have amended the instructions, below, in light of further experience. A1. Google or Explorer 'Photobucket' A2. Click on 'Sign up' and do just that and then go back and A3. Click on 'Log in' A4. Click on 'Upload' A5. Click on 'Choose photos and videos' A6. Click on 'Documents' or where you store your images A7. Double click on the photo you want to load into Photobucket library. Photo

Sometime in the 1960s the Evening Post reported that Bell's the stationers (top of Hockley; remember them) had found some old maps in a storeroom, and was selling them off at one shilling each. I bought one, still have it and is attached to this message. The maps were not folded. There is no date on the map but seeing that the Victoria station is marked with its original name of Great Central and Great Northern Joint Station, it must be no later than May 1900 when the station was named Victoria. The map is mainly within the city boundary, but it does also include West Bridgford.

When I go to bed I always think about something or other and I keep thinking about it until I get up in the morning. So, have I been asleep and my initial thoughts continued as dreams, or have I been awake all the time and just been resting?

A year or more ago the Basford Bystander magazine published a photograph purporting to be the railway bridge across the bottom of Broxtowe Lane, Cinder Hill. I doubted this because through the bridge you can see, faintly, two tall vertical structures. I believe that these are either two of the chimneys or the headstocks seen in the aerial photo of Babbington/Cinder Hill Pit in the Lost Pubs thread #42. I remember this bridge very well, next to the Collier's Arms pub, and recall that there was a pavement only on the pub side of the road. The road was much narrower than the Broxtowe Lane bridge

Here are a few pages from the Bulwell Directory, which some might find of interest. The K. H. Clarke is the father of Ken Clarke MP.

To end this thread about my father's work, here are the two silver trophies that he won in the National Painter and Decorators' Joint Education Committee signwriting competitions in 1932 and 1933. The other picture show his Diplomas of Merit, National and Nottingham Branch awards, and School of Art certificates.

#17. One should not ridicule dreams, they often tell a lot about a person. I have been reading The Labyrinth of the Tortured Mind, by the well-known Austro-Bulwellian professor Dr Sigmund Chullaski, NG, NCT, BSA. About the location of a bus station he says that it indicates itchy feet, whereby the patient does not like staying in the same place for more than 24 hours. As for being dressed in only a vest, he says that if modesty is preserved by pulling down the front of the garment with the right hand, or the back of it with the left hand, then this is quite normal. However, if both hand are u

Even if you post and regret it, so long as you have not closed down the computer you can hit the 'edit' tag in bottom right corner and go in and change what you have written. I'm always doing it - did it in the post before this one!.

Wow! carni wearing just a shimmy standing at the Huntingdon Street bus station. The mind boggles. Quick, into the Fish Market - just the plaice to hide.

#268 Firbeck. I notice that when I travel to St P many of the reserved seats never have an occupant. Last year I asked the ticket-checker why this is. He said ' they sit where they like'. So, presumably, they sit in other carriages.

#32. Oh, crikey, crikey me!

Bilbraborn. There is no mention of them in the Directory. The firms are only mentioned in the residence lists where someone lives at an address. In the advertisements they are not mentioned - probably only would be if they paid to be, and in the Trades section there is no mention of an upholstery company. Again, this is probably because they did not contribute to the cost of the Directory. Eastwood Street had 14 houses, numbered 1 to 27. It was off Leonard Street - I have checked for MBC but not there.

It's started again! The first of what will no doubt be a plethora of junk mail from Virgin Moron, arrived through my letterbox this morning.

I have a Bulwell Directory, giving listings of firms, businesses and residents of houses. There is no date of printing but because a Triumph Herald car features in an advert it must be in the 1960s. This is before the area clearances and the building of the new estates. If anyone would like to know who lived where at that time then PM me, or if it is about businesses and of wider interest then put it in this thread.

NewBasfordlad. Agree, the photo is excellent. Wouldn't be better in colour. Note the different placement of the apostrophes. I wonder if the firm was at one time called Sankeys?
