I do remember reading on here some time ago, don't know whereabouts, a request to delete the video link if quoting a previous post with a Youtube video in, to save space.

Re: Today in pictures
 

The woman sitting on the bench with the little girl outside the Town Hall (in shade so you can't see!) is Chinese. It is a very multi-ethnic village as is quite typical these days in Italy. I have Hindu and Sikh neighbours on the farm and there are also some Egyptians on a farm near us. I am the only English person though but there is a German lady too who i know and the village seamstress is Thai. As well as the village church there is a Sikh temple as there are numerous Indian families in this area working in the dairy industry -for them cows are sacred and they like working with them.

The African family live in a little hamlet called San Martino just half a mile away - very friendly -I was chatting to the large lady's daughter who is on the first photo holding her son (just checked she is behind the lady with her back to the camera!) -she works in a local restaurant where we go. The family provide the 3 kings every year for the villages living Nativity play!:D

It doesn't. That info streams from youtube/google servers not accyweb. Well the link and code is stored on here... but that is around 50-100bytes or something

The sentence above in bold prob takes up around 236bytes space who knows with all the code and stuff

When you add attachments here, they are uploaded to the accyweb server. The next 3 pictures I will upload here are 1.3MB imagine 20 a day from 3 or 4 users.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I'm missing Bob, I'd grown quite attached to him!

Re: Today in pictures
 

I'm a bit behind tonight, I haven't been sulking ,honest, Getting and fitting a WI. FI printer for a friend.

Anyway to reply to all collectively.

No it was a rocking horse, and yes it is rare but I have some.
Glad you found it, have you found all the carved rocks yet, there a bit mossed over now and not easy to spot.
I don't think lavender drops would come close, I was thinking ylang ylang, or a bit of jojoba, failing that a bit of honeycomb tripe.
Bobs on this set, but not his best side.

Right to business, Today in Pictures, Riley's swing bridge, the return.

1. Its very floral at this time of year.
2. First style to negotiate.
3. The second one, its not as overgrown now as it was when I tramped this way before, it was nettles past my armpits last time, that made them at least two foot tall.
4. Bob after he was lobbed over a style with no dog access.
5. Quick waft of honeysuckle before the dunk roundabout.
6. It was just like being in Paris, with the chairs and the smell of a sausage barmcake on the breeze.
7. These rascals have doubled in size since my last session of hands and knees, and bumps a daisy.
8.If this get any bigger I will get the chairs from around the corner and have a cup of tea and a soft bap.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Riley's swing bridge is for me of course -my childhood playground on many a summer day!
Hate tripe -though it is iconic of Accy in a way. My Grandad loved it -used to play on the swing bridge in his day;):)

Love the thread Dave -lets keep it up! Promise to be careful and not post more than ten again!:o:D

Re: Today in pictures
 

Its not an option to close it, if it was up to me there would be no limit, but we have to be sensible, I think ten can be adapted to, but don't get me started again, I have just calmed down from my last rant. Also I think Mick is keeping a low profile hoping the heat will go out of the thread, the jury is still out on that one.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I got a slapped wrist but not many others had posted yesterday -lets not get demoralised by it!:)

Re: Today in pictures
 

Mick is not keeping a low profile as you say
Mick is doing his job and keeping this site running
if you have a problem then please use the pm system and not post on site

Now is you have finished moaning can we get back on thread
i like to see the photos of members so let have some more on today please:camera8:
Oh and by the way i will soon have a few to put on myself as i am off to Amsterdam in a couple of weeks (without the wife):D

Re: Today in pictures
 

Mick...you lucky Josser...shame Anne can't go...though I guess that gives you free rein...not that I am implying anything here you understand :D
I will look forward to seeing your pics Mick.......and Dave keep 'em coming.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I don't have a problem, but I didn't offer to close the thread if we didn't behave.
As for using the pm system, you responded in open forum and I replied in the same way.
You have imposed a limit to the number of photos on the thread, we are trying to comply to this, as for moaning, I don't think defending the thread is a moan, I could say its you that is moaning, about the number we are posting
