Photos
Doc I am one of the thick ones. I have managed to send a photo to someone who was looking for a copy. I did this my having someone take a photo of the photo and put on computer. I then sent this to his private email address. I still have these 2 photos on computer, and the only way I am able to send would be direct to an email address. What address should I send to to get on the gallery for anyone else who may look for a copy at a future date. Hope this makes sense to someone. Cheers John Sabourn

Don't be like the blonde who tried to put wall paper on her screen. Kept falling off, not enough paste.

This is my wall paper, I find it brings back memories of happy days at sea. Has a warm feeling about it.
I took the photo from the Prom in Fleetwood, A ship outward bound into the sunset. Morecambe Bay with the Cumbrian hills in the back ground.
Dont know the name of the ship. Anyone can have it.
Cheers

Decorating:
Looked on the net, best advice was remove all personal affects, add paint by the tin, add hand grenade, pull pin, leave quick, return when the paint has dried ? ? ?
Did fancy wall paper as opposed to paint.
Not certain now about Windows: Windows eight seems good, but only had 7 windows before.
Confronted the experts, they asked how many windows at the back: 4, the front 3.
Have you got any doors, HOW THE FRICK, DO YOU THINK I GET IN ?
AND THEY GOT ALL WRONG:
Commenced with can I speak to Mr. Wall, said no walls here, replied how do you keep the roof on.
GLAD MY NAME IS NOT BATES: Mr / Mrs / Master etc.
ALL ADVISE REQUESTED ?
