It sort of stuck in my throat. I thought I was gonna croak. Except I couldn't even croak! . Chocolate mint crimes are another dangerous one. Couldn't speak or get my breath. Not sure how I managed to get it to clear. Really careful with those now. Watch it if you get some of those. Looking for the perfect gift for SWMBO.....where can I get some?! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 Back in about 1979 I wanted a Ronson Comet gas fag lighter. I dropped as many hints as possible wihtout actually spelling it out. So what did I get? A tool box - which cost more than the lighter but wasn't required because I already had one that was plenty big enough for the few tools that I had at that time.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Margie, because a few of you other gels have changed their pic I thought Id have a go. I was trying to put up a 17 year old me but it was too big and haven’t figured out how to resize yet. This one is only a couple of years ago when I was on a fab weekend cruise on the Queen Mary in the company of lots of well-known Nottingham characters, but won’t mention any names!

MargieH 7,613 Posted December 25, 2017 Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 I don't know how to resize the photos either, Lizzie. I wanted to change my avatar to a cat but couldn't find a photo that would fit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted December 25, 2017 Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 I am no expert on this but think there is a way on 'postimage' Cliff will be along to put us right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gem 1,430 Posted December 25, 2017 Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 I put my photo on using post image, went in blind but did my usual, which is pressing keys and hoping it would work. This time it did. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,613 Posted December 25, 2017 Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 The picture I had last week of a17 year old me went on without any resizing, but it was a small photo to start with - one of those 'polyphotos' where you had about a dozen photos taken so you could pick one of them to enlarge and frame, perhaps. The photos were only about 1-2 inches square Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,429 Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 Re. Resizing photos. If I remember rightly there is an option in PI. that gives you an option to resize your photo when you upload it. Just choose the smallest. You can always upload it again at a larger size later.

Cliff Ton 10,486 Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 To a degree, you can adjust your avatar photo within Nottstalgia itself - (although this might not work depending on the size of your original). 1. Click on the circular image at top right - the actual image, not your name. 2. Then, on the left, you'll get a larger version of the image; click on the box symbol in the bottom-left corner of that image. 3. Click on 'Choose single file' and pick the one you want. 4. Having done that, when you hit 'Save' you will get a grid on the photo where you can crop out parts of the photo you don't want. I hope. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gem 1,430 Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 Anyone else get coffins for Christmas......... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,514 Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 No thank God! Think I may have mentioned on here before that in the Miami Costco they sell coffins (full size ones), in all sorts of colours. We were astounded to see them stacked up alongside the catering size packs of all other necessities. Wonder if people buy one and keep it in the shed, just in case? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Odd as i may be getting, thats even to much for me. My coffins came with a shop so not as odd as just two on there own. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
