nonnaB 4,895 Posted September 19, 2020 Report Share Posted September 19, 2020 It's a good job I'm not jealous. My husband tells me when he's been " flirting"  A customer couldn't choose what she wanted to eat so asked my husband " make me dream" His answer was " I wish I could" . He also said she was extremely attractive.  Both the lady in question and her husband took the joke very well and had a good laugh. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,150 Posted September 19, 2020 Report Share Posted September 19, 2020 So what else is happening up in Nottingham? What's the latest gossip doing the rounds and am I missing owt? What's the latest with PPs chicken coop? Are the trams still running and is it true, Goose fair cancelled? Is Catfan back from Skeggy? Etc,etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PeverilPeril 3,283 Posted September 19, 2020 Report Share Posted September 19, 2020 It has become my habit to sit in my Man Coup after dinner with a coffee or something stronger to watch the chickens prepare for bed. They have a preening session for about 15 minutes scattered around my feet and we have a good old chat. The local geese fly over a few times near dusk; doing some training laps before their long flight. The chickens then enter their end of the coup to roost. Always the same routine. The three youngest birds first, then Netty the Forewerk, and last in is the Black Aruacana named Betty. There is then a big fight and the 3 young birds are thrown off of their roosting bars and driven into the nesting boxes. Nettie the Forewerk is next to be knocked off her perch. Queenie the 6th chicken flew off 5 days ago but makes occasional visits but not to roost. I suspect that she lost a fight with Betty and sleeps eleswhere. I stay on for a while and watch the bats, hoping that Queenie returns to roost. life is good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DJ360 6,730 Posted September 19, 2020 Report Share Posted September 19, 2020 Nice post PP. I moved a few housebricks yesterday. Result was my back went into spasm. Can't sit in P C chair. Ok..ish when standing or lying down. The bit between is agony. Never had this before. Oh well... It's being so cheerful keeps me going.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,600 Posted September 20, 2020 Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 @PeverilPeril I loved reading your post about your chickens.  Isn’t there any way you can put more perches in the coop so the younger chickens can have a proper roost at night?  How did Queenie escape originally!  Is wing clipping no longer considered an option because it’s cruel? (like docking puppy’s tails).  If the wings are clipped, can a chicken still jump on a low perch?   @DJ360  sorry about your back - hope it will soon settle down.

PeverilPeril 3,283 Posted September 20, 2020 Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 Queenie returned this morning and is now locked in with the others. They have a large coup with 3 x 1m roosting bars at different heights and plenty of room to run outside and underneath the coup house. Hoping to get my pal here later to help me clip their wings. There is no pain or disfigurement. Don't want to spoil the looks of these beautiful birds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,150 Posted September 20, 2020 Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 This is probably the wrong thread, but a well used one, so I'm hoping somebody can tell me what's happened to my postimage? I don't seem to be able to get any further than choosing an image. Instead of going on to click on 'hotlink, it just goes to a page full of adverts. If I go back a page it just shows 'choose image' again. Am I doing something wrong? It's frustrating not being able to post pictures. HELP, ANYONE. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted September 20, 2020 Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 Mu suggestion BK would be to dump Postimage There are better alternatives available   Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Exactly the same happening on my Post image. I just abandoned it in the end? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,150 Posted September 20, 2020 Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 Okay, Jill and Catfan, who can tell me what the alternatives are? I'm open to any ideas and bow to your longer experience. Carni, re the puzzles, I've had exactly the same results, so not going to bother with rotating. Found loads of Nottingham images to do on there. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stuart.C 491 Posted September 20, 2020 Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 I use IMGUR for images, never seems to have problems. Â Never thought to look for Nottm images, I just do anything around 100 pieces or it takes too long to sort them out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,150 Posted September 20, 2020 Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 It might sound daft Stuart, but how do I go about using Imgur? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,467 Posted September 20, 2020 Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 I've been using Imgur since Photobucket started playing silly buggers several years ago. I never went to Postimage so I don't know about them. Â Just Google Imgur; it will take you to the site and then you sign in and create an account. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PeverilPeril 3,283 Posted September 20, 2020 Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 First - I will take a look at imgur as well  Second - the chickens wings were clipped this morning. The main offender; Queenie tried to fly off but went to hide in a corner. And guess what? There in that hidden corner she had built a nest and there were 19 eggs in it! So, she has redeemed herself  18 of the eggs passed the water test and you can guess what we had for lunch. Not all 18 of course. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beekay 5,150 Posted September 21, 2020 Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 Carni, if you read this, I think I've sussed out the posting problem. Hopefully have attached a picture for you. When you've chosen a picture, then at the top of the screen tap or click on share. This will take you to the choices. Tap or click on Hotlink to Forums. This will show 'copied. You can then go back on NS and paste your pic. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,600 Posted September 21, 2020 Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 I’ve just used postimage to put a picture on ‘Amusing images’ and there was no problem.  I actually choose Direct Link from the options 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
