Suppose you'd have preferred a bottle of whisky though

[les taylor]

Actually Victoria sent a a bottle of her own Royal Lochnagar.

[TheTross]

Vicoria eh? First-name terms... you're not a bloody prince or owt are you

Anyway, was the bottle signed? Might be worth a few shillings if it was; where's a For Sale board when you need one...

[C57]

Hi Calliope, I do think you have that honour, welcome.

I guess Les and I are the oldest ones.

Hey Keith steady on old chap. I think you are a tad older than me. C57 is the same age as me. There is a clue there.

I was just born circa '57.
I leave you to guess the century...

People, upload your old avatars!!!

I find it much easier to search for people's posts by their ID images.

[Nick Brown]

I think I'll hunt for a new avatar this evening

I agree, LSD and Mark, you did a very good job and wish you and ' your staff ' all the luck you need to succeed

If red is Admin, green is Mods, then how's Nick got that glorious pink for his name? Me want

[Mark C]

Your wish...etc...

[Sherried Malt]

Hi everybody!

I hear this is the place to be! Nice to see so many familiar "faces"... You know what I mean. Great job, Mark and NIck. Congrats.

Can we get more smilies?? I think the IWBRNT at a minimum... Then again, I've promised myself to cut back...

[Mark C]

Hi!

Smilies, yes. All in good time.

[Malt-Teaser]

This morning I spent quite some time trying to upload an avatar, without success.
I can get to well within 100x100, but I couldn't get anywhere near 6kb.

In the end I reduced the picture to almost invisible on my screen and it was still 39kb.

Any advice is welcome.

I kind of missed what happened, but there seems to have been a revolution.

Hi Aidan and welcome.

Try www.shrinkpictures.com and go for the "good" (i.e. worst) quality option. That should work for you, but you can only do it with jpegs. If you have a bmp, you'll have to convert it to jpeg first.

Welcome aboard Aidan

[Christian]

Congratulations with a great new forum! Judging from the posters so far I'd say one cannot wish for a better company! I'm more than a little concerned about the lack of a "For Sale" forum though.......


.......and there's even an edit button

[C57]

Hi Christian! Welcome aboard!

[Christian]

Hi Christian! Welcome aboard!

Thanks Nick - good to be here!

[Nick Brown]

It's not a revolution - just an evolution. I will PM you.

[bernstein]

What exactly happened over there is still a riddle to me - but, I had one or two déjavus reading topics over the last couple of weeks...

[Aidan]

Thanks for the welcome.

FI is probably off selling fake t-shirts outside Murrayfield as we speak.
