carni 10,094 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Help! I have found something on a search engine that i want to put on Nottstalga for you, it is audio only and i don't know what to do. Any help will be appreciated. Hope it's not to complicated, it took me 5yrs to be able to put a photo on a post Thank you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,683 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Easiest way would be to highlight the web address (url) that is at the top of the page that the sound file is on , by left clicking on your mouse and dragging across the web address until it all turns blue , then copy it by right clicking on it and selecting "copy" from the menu that drops down and then "pasting" the link onto the message here . Only other way I can think is to make a youtube video of it in Windows Movie Maker using a relevant still photo image and then paste the link here when its been uploaded . Though have to be careful if its copyrighted . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted December 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 DAVIDW, The Search Engine Reads Football Results by Michael Bentine, when i click on it, this comes up (image of a little padlock) https://my space.com/...music//song/football results-42345444-60512377, I can't see anything with URL at the beginning It is quite funny, i haven't heard it for years and thought it might amuse people.

carni 10,094 Posted December 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Sorry Michael, Its Back again. Did you listen to it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Yes, I listened to it again, carnie. I've heard it before but still found it funny. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,683 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Carni you practically pasted the link correctly . Ignore the padlock icon when copying the address . You won't see the letters URL in the address bar . A uniform resource locator, abbreviated URL is a techie way of saying the webpage address ........so the URL for this page that we are reading ( from the address bar above ) , is http://nottstalgia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=11988#entry211810 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted December 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Thank you DAVIDW, I will have a practice next year I need to study the instructions and i'm a bit dozy this time of night. My mind is in stare at tele mode. Thanks again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,683 Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 OK Carni . Looks to me like you hand-typed that website page address for the link in #3 . Unfortunately you put a gap in between "my" and "space" I.e "my space" when it should be "myspace" . Just by making one tiny mistake will make the link not work . Thats why its better to practice your copying and pasting which gives the link exactly as it should be . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,464 Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Works here! I've opened it and and I've listened to it from your link Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted January 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 I take it all back, I tried clicking the link before i posted it and it wouldn't work BUT when i posted it,the format changed and it works now. Thank you CliffTon, I hope it raises a smile, most of us golden oldies will have heard it before but its still funny. Thanks for all the advice Nottstalgians. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poohbear 1,360 Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 One of my favourite 'Goons' sketches with Bentine was the Caveman that discovered fire. Group sat in cave and Bentine struck a flint against a rock...some hay caught fire from the sparks and they all wondered at this new invention. Sat there warming their hands, they each tried to give it a name...'Gurg!'...no 'Og!'...no... 'Spug!'...no 'Fi..re!' (smiles all round) 'Fire! Fire! Fire!' And another caveman rushed in with a galvanised (???) bucket of water and poured it over the flames. Only Spike could write stuff like that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
