Today I'm happy about......

Coal scavengers. Pidcking up loose, small amounts from the surface.

Sad b'stards those Welshies.

ahhh... we used to get them up in the north east - except it was "sea coal" - a kind of coal-shale left on the beach when the tide goes out... people still run vans down the beach to collect it... back-breaking work...

Tax dodgers & benefit cheats the lot of 'em !!

Not much sea up those valleys, more's he pity.

someone else's photo will have to suffice for now!

Great day out today.

Train to Strawberry Duck.

Round Entwistle reservoir.

Down past Wayoh reservoir.

Lunch at Black Bull in Edgworth - delicious rag pie, chips and mushy peas.

Back to Strawberry Duck for a couple of Hobgoblin.

Train home. Perfect.



ps If someone could make the pic a bit bigger for me I would be very grateful.

It's not really possible to resize upwards (not without losing quality) without the original file.

Can you not choose a different size option with your original upload?

[TANGODANCER]

This is what happens when you enlarge it from the pic WW. Course, you can always look at it through half-closed eyes.

[Montreal Wanderer]

It looks to me like you uploaded it to Photobucket as a thumbnail, MJ.

[Wandering Willy]

Yep - I am not sure how to upload/resize using photobucket.

Thanks for trying though TD.

photobucket has changed recently - you used to be able to specify what size you wanted it to upload - now it just uploads the original sized file...

which means if I link files from there now - they are Mahooosive...

I've just found out I'm getting a tax rebate, just in time for Christmas too

[thebish]

I have set "ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring - banana phone!" as my ring tone (MP3)

it cheers me up every time somebody phones me...

I'm easily pleased!

[Verbal]

Are you also 5?

[thebish]

Are you also 5?

you big hairy grown-up!!

[Prufrock]

On the train back from Cheltenham the other day somebody's phone went off with the ring-tone the CTU phones in 24 have.

They got a smile and 10 cool points from me!

[Always hopeful]

some bits of wales are nice!

This is where I spend most of my Sunday's, either whitewater kayaking down the river Dee, or walking in the hills. The Vale of Llangollen is a beautiful place:

Panorama Walks, Nr Llangollen. For those who use Google Earth you can see this on the 'Street View' system & it's amazing.

I often used to drive to that very spot at lunchtimes & listen to some music looking at that very view.

From it you can see the River Dee, Llangollen Canal, the old Railway and the A5 ... all those modes of transport. Plus the Llangollen golf course. Really, really beautiful up there.

[Prufrock]

Finally having a start date for my new job. 26th November. Back to London, baby.

[Verbal]

Good times.
