#211. It must have been a bitter blow, Lizzie, when Hilda Hansen, at the end of your road, closed down. lol

As a 75-year-old, this revelation may come as a surprise to some; but I have never in my life ever tasted whiskey, gin or vodka. The only time I have tasted rum was years ago when I had some in my coffee when I had a cold. As soon as I was old enough to go in pubs, and being an apprentice who never had two ha'pennies to rub together, I bought the liquid that gave me most for my money. As a consequence I drank enough beer to sink a battleship.

Yesterday I PM'd Carni, but have not received a reply from her (unusual as she is usually on the ball). On the message page, left column headed Participants, there is the word 'Block' in red. Clicking on this changes it to 'Unblock'. Have changed it back the Block. Does anyone from Admin/Moderator know what is happening here? As you were, she has responded. But would still like to know why the red Block word appeared.

Columbian Contrasts The Yanks they speak a language queer, Of English true, it's somewhere near. Bide with me and I'll explain, Lest should it drive y'all insane. Here and there words go awry, It's gotten so we wonder why. In sums they do the math, yes, Math! I ask yer, no plural s. Babies pushed along in strollers, Hollywood stars have shiny molars. Divorce is rife, an institution, Is this legal prostitution? Be warned they drive wrong side of road, In grid-plan cities, tires take the load.

I might understand why some members might not want their photograph AND their actual name attached to it, but when they use a pseudonym I cannot see the problem.

Hey Mick - you found a use for that lazy N.

#211. Know what you mean, Lizzie. It's not very gallant of me I know, but when she wears a tight-fitting dress she looks like a bowling pin.

Big improvement, terence12; you looked so gormless in the other one! To those who don't want people to see how they look, then don't turn up at the meet-ups! Carni, you say you are going through another change - have you become fertile again!

There are certain members who have posted hundreds - some thousands - of messages and we still do not know what they look like. Michael Booth, Mercurydancer, Blondie, Bubblewrap, Basfordred, Ayupmeducks, TrevorS, Bilbraborn, Radfordred, Cliff Ton and others, I'm taking about you! Come on, get your physog in your Profile. Make it a New Year's resolution. If you were to walk into Wetherspoons in Bulwell, Catfan would not recognise you.

#29. Really! Och aye th' noo, me pet marrer. (I'm not a Mackem)

#13 katyjay. That was Bulwell you were passing through, and someone did shoot at you!

#11. Something has happened. I am now getting emails telling me that a member has liked a post I made. OK but, getting back to the Notification tab, when I click on it I get 'You do not have any notifications'. When I click on 'View all notifications' I get a list of all my PM correspondence. Unless my memory is playing tricks, I thought that before September 14th I got the Likes listed in Notifications. As mentioned before, I click on my avatar to get list of Likes. Mick, is everything as should be now?

C T. Easy. The one I deleted was the one with the original small dimensions (height and width). This is how the image first appears after posting it on to Photobucket. I then open it and change the dimensions to 700 plus. When I save this, the original size stays in the library and the new size goes in here also. I then chose the larger image to post with my message. Because you cannot tell which of the two images is the larger when looking at the library pictures, I open the smaller one and delete it, leaving only the larger image in the library.

It can be very difficult to understand the violent attitude of some people. My paternal grandfather was a drinker, and, from what mam told me, got violent with his wife. She told me of the time he went for grandma and dad layed into him. Fast forward the decades and katyjay and I are researching our family history, and discover that granddad joined the Sherwood Foresters in 1914 and served with them in France until 1918 when he was transferred to the Labour Corps. He was discharged on medical grounds not long before the war ended. One can only imagine what he had been through when with the reg

Er, Mick. You couldn't do the same for me, could you please? As per carni I have nothing since Sept 14th, but I can check the Likes by clicking on my photo, but not evidence that my posts have been quoted.

CT, I see, or I think I do. I have not purposely moved any of the images in the library, BUT, I have deleted a couple that were duplicated during the placement process. It looks like in doing this, the other images beyond it shuffled themselves forward. That said you would have thought that the replacement image would have sent itself to the message. Hmmmm.

Oh really, I'll send the Clanton brothers to sort out the two of you!

A twerp, did you say?

Some silly people believe that we are reincarnated. Supposing that they are right, who or what would members like to come back as? Alternatively, who or what do they think they were in a previous life? I'll suggest anything to get a laff, but you never know, there might be a member or two who have a funny feeling that they have been here before. Stand back for future Forest top goal-scorers, greatest guitarists, and UKIP prime ministers! Of course, we could be mischievous and pick a member and fantasize what they might come back as.

I have noticed that a picture I posted showing Nottstalgians at the November meet-up has disappeared, replaced with a notice saying 'Sorry, this person moved or deleted this image'. Oh no I didn't. Does anyone know why/how this happened? I have checked my Photobucket library and the image is still there.

Melissa's instructions should be good - God will be guiding her hand. lol

Commo. Photobucket is an image-storage facility (what they sometimes call a 'cloud') It stores the images you put into it and allows you to post them on such things as Notstalgia. To get on to it just Google 'Photobucket' and sign up and away you go as instructed above.

Members are still having problems in trying to post images with their messages - you don't have to tell me how frustrating it is; took me ages to get the hang of it. As the saying goes, once you get the hang of it, it becomes easy. The following is how I put images in my postings. I have Windows 7; I assume that other programmes will be the same with regard to posting images. This is how to do it from scratch, step by step: There are other ways of doing this but I think the one most members use is Photobucket. Perhaps members who use a different system might like to do what I am doing and giv

I'm sitting here, mid nuts and liquorice, Full to the brim, nowt did I miss. Found some room for Christmas pud, Thanks Mrs Chulla, the food was good. On the tele nowt but crap, Every year junk and pap. Why do they think we want to see, Such seasonal dross on our TV Like the bears we should hibernate, 'Till January 2, my favourite date. Then back to normal with news at six, Routines familiar, I'll give it some ticks. Makes no difference I'll acclaim, Next year will be the same No matter we cry and bawl, What can we do about it? - sod all!

There's is a Christmas tradition observed by many people in Britain and America, and one that was observed by me last night in Nottingham at 5:15 pm at the Broadway Cinema. As with the last few years there the film being shown, by popular request, was It's a Wonderful Life. Mrs, Miss and Mr Chulla went there three years ago, but this time I was alone. Alone that is except for the nearly-full main auditorium of people who appreciate that this is one of the finest films ever made, and certainly the most popular. Most I suspect were there like me having seen it before but wanted to spend Christma
