[drivin_me_nuts]

Terminal man flu looks like a real possibility. Can I have first dibs on tour slippers.

What is a 'top down' gesticulation?

It's difficult to describe but he waved his hands over his head,sort of.

you needed to be there.

I didn't have time to wave back.

Perhaps he was just nuts.

ION....I had to google an actress playing a cop,very familiar face ,couldn't place her.

She was in Friends BITD in one of the occasional extra parts.

Thanks. But I still don't know how you did it.

Right-click on the address bar in your browser, this should both highlight the web address and give you a box of options. Click "Cut" and then "paste" it into the reply box here. I suspect you might have inadvertently missed off one character from it or something?

I love that Fiat S76. We need heroic loons like Duncan Pitcairn who are willing to spend years of their lives restoring such utter white elephants, even if it means re-manufacturing half of it from scratch. I was stood a couple of yards from it when they started it in the pits at the FoS this year. The effect is... well, profound

Instead of cut and paste I did copy and paste. It reads the same. Just didn't work.

Pops head in, looks around, seeing Iva wiring in the corner with some thread murdering spray and skips town.

Use [ url ] and then [ / url ] but without the spaces.

The 'formatting help' on the top left of the reply box is useful for reminding yourself, I don't even bother to try and remember them to be honest.

[Impasse]

Yep, do the [url] thing like Alex says. PH has recently lost the ability to automatically insert links across some platforms. The hamsters need more coal, or something.

ION, thar she blows! Extra glue required for one's toupee today. (Met Office forecasts are available online too.)

[pad58]

Morning people, windy as windy is out there, mind how you go.
Write you later.

Guten morgen trivs... is it Monday again already?

Shoulder is fking killing me today...stupid cervical spondylosis. ION KaraK-cat is off to the vet's after work as I need to get them to have a look at a little wound on the back of her neck, it's almost certainly nothing but what can I say I'm a bit of a worry-wort when it comes to the little tyke.
