Great stuff, I'm sure I could detect the huge maggot factory chimney in the shots past the oil depot, I'm afraid that I was responsible for getting retrospective planning permission for that and all the rest of the maggot factory buildings, I've carried out surveys all over the country and into Europe, but that one was the worst I ever did, it still makes me want to puke just thinking about it.

That brilliant lets have more (music a bit shite....but)

Glad you liked it.

Music is always a bit of a judgment call. Some might like it others hate it. That particular music is generated within the editing program. There are various styles and you can set it to run the same length as your pictures. Have to be real careful on you-tube and other upload sites. If you use something copyrighted You tube will pull it and I suppose you might even have the legal beagles after you.

Once we get to some of the later stuff it has its own sound track. These were all originally silent movies.

Oh! to have had today's technology back then.

Not a pbl babs! :)

That's ok! I will talk to him tomoz and tell him about all this! lol...I think it's amazing...really! I do not mind you talking about you...I would love to hear more about it all!

As I said, i'm a friend of his, sorry for the mistakes...I am a French lady :)...I know his sister is still in England, but he rarely talks about her or anything related to his childhood :(...But he did seem amazed when I spoke to him earlier on about this forum! He did take out 2 or 3 names of mates...perhaps you know some of'em?

PERHAPS FEZ AS REASONS FOR NOT TALKING ABOUT HIS PAST MIGHT MAKE HIM A BIT HOME SICK OR BRING BACK UNHAPPY MEMORIES AS WELL AS THE GOOD ONES BUT SURE WILL TELL YOU ONE DAY IN HIS OWN TIME IF HE WANTS TOO DONT PUSH HIM OR HE MAY CLAM UP ALL TOGETHER. BUT GIVE HIM MY BEST WISHES AND TELL HIM IF THERE IS ANY ONE HE REALLY WOULD LIKE TO CONTACT LET ME KNOW AND I WILL SEE WHAT I CAN DO TO HELP.

Thanks Babs,

Home sick I do not know, since he lost both parents...difficult memories for sure...as for the small sentences he actually mentioned...Thanks for all the names...I think I will give them bit by bit as I text from time to time messages about all this, but does not reply in demand...

He only mentioned the last part, when I took out the nickname of "Moggy" and "Charlie" bounced back saying bad memories :(...I apologised of course, did not mean to hurt such a beautiful person...so yeah...taking it easy...

And for your dyslexia, not a pbl, I understand everything...My princess (daughter :)) has dyslexia and still of our days I reckon they still seem to treat these kids as adnormal! :( And I'm more French than English, so my sentences must be full of different mistakes...and looking at it, firstly i do not take care of it (if needed) and this forum is not here for this!! But only for all of you to talk about your childhood!

Anyway....let's listen to all your beautiful stories! :)

Thanks a lot Babs for your kindness xox

NICE OF YOU TO REPLY SO QUICKLY .

MAYBE LOOSING HIS PARENTS COULD BE PART OF THE PROBLEM WITH HIM BEING SO FAR AWAY MAY BE HE HAS SOME REGRETS ABOUT THIS BUT TAKE IT SLOWLY ONE DAY HE MAY TEL YOU IF HES READY. MAYBE I SHOULD NOT HAVE MENTIONED CHARLIE AND MOGGY WILL SEND YOU A P.M. ABOUT THIS DONT KNOW WHAT HE HAS TOLD YOU ABOUT THIS IF ANY THING.

BABS
