Next Midlands Meet

[decorum]

Thanks to all those who came along (sorry to hear that you're ill George and I hope you feel better soon) for making yet another fun and relaxing weekend. Hopefully everyone's gone home with a bit more charge in their battery.

Cheers for a great weekend Dec, sorry to all who were pestered by Captain Chunder. Let it be known that I had a word in his shell like, but unfortunately I think it went in one ear and out the other. Needless to say, I probably won't bring Captain Chunder along again. Thanks to Gary for his patience and understanding with the little toe rag and the discusion on camera terminology and what it all means. I think I have a better understanding now then I did before. Still gonna need to play around a bit though, thank God for digital photography as 35mm film would be costing me a fortune!

thanks to everyone for their generosity and patience with the two of us. Special thanks to cool headed dec for putting the jet boil out whilst risking potential shrapnel wounds.

I can now identify an amethyst deceiver, collect bracken leaves and clean a frying pan using ashes from the fire.

a great day all round.

A one toothed vampyre? Got bitten by the same one I think, I've got a nasty bump on my forearm. Shame it wasn't on my upper arm, it would have given the impression that I have some muscle there!

It happens - at least he suffered for it . How much of his hide has been used to make the repairs?

thanks to everyone for their generosity and patience with the two of us.

No worries; we all learn 'stuff' at Meets.

Special thanks to cool headed dec for putting the jet boil out whilst risking potential shrapnel wounds.

Nothing anyone else couldn't have done - the cannister was still cold so, unless its seal had malfunctioned, there was no real hazard.


I'll add my own my special thanks to woodstock for dealing with T1tch's injury so quickly and efficiently - how's it doing T1tch? And thanks also go to Wayland for his skill with a needle

We do have some voracious beasties on site. I found several bites when I got home - at first I wondered how they'd bitten through my boots :yikes: ; but logically I must have been bitten whilst asleep.

EDIT: I've had mozzie bites of a similar nature - It sounds similar to what sometimes happens when you brush off or 'splat' a mozzie whilst its beak is inserted but it hasn't actually done the deed.

Got bitten by the same one I think, I've got a nasty bump on my forearm. ...

Did anything bite your brother? Anything that did didn't bite anyone else .

... Shame it wasn't on my upper arm, it would have given the impression that I have some muscle there!

Is the extra weight making you walk round in circles

It's predominently yellow and was picked up in the right area for it to belong to T1tch or yourself - having seen the effort going into making sure the ground was clear I know that it wasn't there prior to the Meet .

I can easily drop it into work for you - should get some people slightly worried

where the heck does everybody get these flippin` smilies from?

 

[LazySod]

Well, you know the 'Quick reply' box where you typed the above question? Under that there are two buttons ..... 'Post quick reply' and 'Go advanced'.

Instead of typing in the 'Quick reply' box, hit the 'Go advanced' button and all will be revealed.

 

[firecrest]

Nope, none here.

 

[woodstock]

Nope, none here.

Here have these... if you press quote or reply they should be below the text box and above submit reply..

 

[firecrest]

They arent there for me! the smilies don't like me! the FAQ gives me a list of the commands though

 

[LazySod]

Can you not get to this page?

 

[LazySod]

Might have sussed this for you.


Go to 'User CP' at the top of the page,
Click on 'Edit options',
Scroll to the bottom of the page,
In the 'Miscellaneous options' section change to 'Enhanced interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing',
Click the 'Save changes' button.


Hopefully now you should see the Smilies when you click the 'Go Advanced' button.

The other part of your question is that sometimes we link smilies in from other sites using the picture function.

This one used by Decorum above is from www.planetsmilies.com for example.

I tend to host a few that I like, like this,

on a cache page of one of my websites so I know where to find them.
