I just thought I would create a thread of my own, one that anybody can join in with, to chat about anything, so long as it is within the rules of FG ! Post interesting pictures, poems, jokes, issues, anecdotes, general chat, real-life exploits etc. The neighbour's unruly kids - you know the sort of thing ..........

Hi Ducky ! Hope you are OK..................... Hey I first sent that to you on 24 December !!!!!!!!!!! Saw that you hadn't picked up on it, so I re-sent it :wah: We haven't had proper snow for some years ---- just nuisance stuff, about 3-4" fall and settle, then during the day it thaws, then freezes over night and the next day it's flippin dangerous, mucky, brittle ice ruts. It doesn't stay long enough for the children to get much enjoyment out of it either ! We always miss out on any decent snowfalls in the Midlands of England

Gill, we are ok and yeah, we haven't had good snowfall either. I remember years ago we had a white hurricane and that got us a good foot of the white stuff. But, it's been dragging over the years and we usually get a good storm come February. This storm that's coming is from the south so we should be in for some nice wet stuff tomorrow..a real mess is what they are predicting. Anyways, it's coming at night which stinks for Quin. But he will at least be on the Wii tomorrow with Chez's daughters playing Mario Kart:wah:

Hi Helen ! It's pissing it down here as well ! PB has changed a little bit.

Once you are on the page in PB that you want to get a pic from, click on the little pic that you choose - it should come up on a new page, by itself (if you move the cursor over the pic it should show you a % size. e.g. 76% means that the picture when reproduced in your post will be another 24% bigger ! This is a good way to make sure that your pic will not blow the margins. Be advised that around 76% or higher will be fine for your post, some pics though say 59% - these will be too big for the post !

Anyway once you've ascertained that the size will be OK then scroll down and over to the far right of that page, there you will see a selection, go to the bottom one (img) click left button and carefully slide your cursor along that link - preferably a fraction above the link. You will find that not all the link will be visible but when you reach the far right of the link, it should run on under the cursor till (img) shows (sometimes this isn't necessary, so long as you have the final 'img' there) indicating that you have the complete link. Right click on the blue shading, a drop-down will appear, right click on 'copy', then move the PB page away so you can see your post window. Left click to make sure the cursor is below any text you have written. When you are happy about the position of the pic, then right click again and a drop-down will appear, right click on 'paste'. Job done ! Check that all is OK and how you want it by pressing 'preview', if OK just press 'submit' !!

They are sooooooo naughty those monkeys !!! :yh_rotfl :yh_rotfl :yh_rotfl

Aw, it is such a shame for the youngsters when it doesn't snow much and doesn't stay. Well bless him, I expect you will be hearing squeeks and much laughter when he gets on the Wii. I must say I haven't tried it yet, but my son Andy says that it is really good. Also a lot of Care Homes and retirement homes are installing them, because they are a fun way to exercise, and keep people from vegetating .......... I think I had better try one soon then !! :yh_rotfl :yh_rotfl :yh_rotfl

Quin has played several times with Chez whom he calls Birdo:wah: and her girls. It's really funny to watch him play it with them and I always laugh when they are really competitive and knock peeps off. It's hilarious. Yes, you need to get a Wii...I'm addicted to bowling at the mo.:wah:

You need alot of room to play some of those games. With mario kart you just need the wheel and can sit on the sofa. Bowling requires you get off your arse adn pretend your really doing it. Your arm will hurt for a few days, but hey, it's exercise.

Since Chris found his 'blood' family - he was adopted when he was 6 months old - we decided that we could only send birthday cards, otherwise we would be bankrupt, there are soooooooo many relatives and they are all very close. It's very nice I must say, but could be terribly expensive if you weren't strict with buying stuff.

We have a rule in the family that once they reach 16, they don't get birthday or Christmas gifts so we can concentrate on the younger children. Most of mine are teenagers. I haven't a clue who they are talking about or what they are saying except for the stroppy 'Yeah, whatever?????' All are fantastic kids with good college records and jobs except one. Bailing him out of his local police station has become the norm. He has been arrested 10 times in one year. I just don't get it. He's been brought up exactly the same as the others. He gives his seat up on the bus for a lady, holds doors open for the elderly and will always look for a bin for his rubbish. What is it with him???I can't even say that he's in with the wrong crowd.......... he is the wrong crowd.

Hi Oscar !! Wow what an extended family you have !! I suppose every extended family has to have a 'black' sheep (oops dark grey :rolleyes:). Chris's side have one of those :yh_rotfl, languishing in jug doing a second stint of porridge - can't get off the drugs, mixing with idiots etc. Seems to be the usual thing for causing them to go off the rails. I thank goodness that none of my side have one of those.

Hope you are OK Oscar, and looking forward to the 'meet' at the weekend, it's a shame that poor old Jimbo is incapacitated (not through drink

) - of course it may be that you frightened him to death with your promises of practising your karate on him ! But I will warn you that he is my fave FG fella Mrs..................

where my daughter used to live. there was an old lady who used to walk about seven dogs at once.................... now said daughter had a big black long haired cat called fluffy wuff !!:rolleyes:

this darn cat would lay in wait in the bushes and leap out at this poor old soul as she walked past, scattering dogs all over the place !! she never learnt her lesson and still walked the same path every day !!

sadly fluffy wuff met his end on the nearby road and i saw the old girl in the care home next door to us a while ago................

Hi Gill,

I am looking forward to the meet but i think your right in that i've scared Jumbo off :yh_rotfl

I have just found out that my nephew is now to become a father at 15 years old!!!!! I'm hoping it will be the making of him.

The last time my 'Little Erbert' was up before the Magistrates, i really thought he was going to youth offenders institution. He 'borrowed' a car and got caught driving round Dorset at one in the morning drunk. Or 'twoking' as the police call it. No licence, no insurence, the lot. I couldn't believe the magistrate as even with his previous, he gave him 40 hours community service, a Â£55 fine and told my sister she was a caring parent and didn't need a parenting order. She could pay him some more attention between you and i.

It was Judo Gill, not Karate. :wah: I was going to throw Jumbo in the Thames but decided London didn't deserve a tsunami when he hit the water :yh_rotfl

Hi Ducky, thanks for dropping in ! Yes it's a pity that we're all scattered around the world, but at least we can see pics of each other, and some of us can even talk to each other on Skype or MSN, or even on the phone ! I bet you are excited about your trip to Ireland, you'll have to arrange to meet Pinkchick somewhere, or Mikeinie, or even Galbally ! Pinkchick will be coming over for the 'meet'.

Oscar, I think sometimes that some parents are a little out of their depth with regard to discipline. Yes and also do not have enough 'quality time' with their children - go out with them, take them go-karting, ice-skating or even go with them to a football match, or just sit down to a meal together and talk to each other. They seem to leave them to their own devices a lot of the time - doesn't matter, so long as they aren't under foot! If only they could see what is happening to their growing child, how the child gets the impression that they are in the way, that nobody cares any more. Sad, and avoidable.

I don't think the Thames Barrier would do the job if you did throw Jim into the murky waters !!! :yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl

We're still waiting for the flippin assessor to come round !!

It will be getting colder again this week and next, so I do hope we can get things fixed before it gets too bad. Without central heating, the whole house gets cold, and even though we have large window areas facing south to catch what sun warmth is going, because we haven't had much sun the house hasn't been given a chance to have a warm through during the day !! grrrrrrrrrrrr and brrrrrrrrrr :rolleyes:

How lovely to see you have your own thread going here!

Hope things are going well for you.

We've been pounded with snow storm after snow storm lately. I've been spending more time outdoors than inside contending with clean up. It's really pretty though....

Have a lovely day Gill! :yh_hugs

My grill is frozen and has icicles on it:wah:

Hi Idgie !!! Lovely to see you here Mrs !!!! Well I've been meaning to start my own thread for a while, but have felt that I didn't have enough time to devote to it as I feel I should, however, I'm giving it a try !

Well, you all have trouble with snow over in the States it seems - ere how about sending some of it over to the UK !!! There hasn't been a decent snowfall in the Midlands of England for years now !!!

And as you say, it is sooooo pretty. All we get is the flippin cold, but with no benefit of pretty snow !!! The children round my neighbourhood have mostly got sledges, but they're deteriorating with neglect and age !!! (the sledges I mean :yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl )

Take care Idgie, and keep popping in :-6
