We have friends from GOC. We ate out one holiday and they both ate sausages and mash, the cheapest thing on the menu. "Was it nice?" "Not very" Then the next night it was still the cheapest on the menu, so they had it again. We both get the same pension, so we are baffled. I suspect the glow they have from saving the money outweighs any disgust at the menu choice. Maybe you can explain.

Apparently we are known for being stubborn too.
Though "There's nowt as queer as folk" might cover it too.
Hope this helps :D

I use imgur at the mo - it’s currently free. There’s some silly stat that around 70% of images on the internet are hosted by imgur. I may have read that wrong... but it means it’ll probably always be free for Jo Bloggs.

It’s not as functional as Flickr. When you upload photos to an album for example, it’s not done in date taken or filename order - but for a scaled down version to embed/link to a forum it’s fine.


Thanks for your comments, advice and tips GFW, much appreciated :D :D :clap: TBH I've never heard of it but will now check it out and give it a burst with a few photos and a dummy run on WH :thumbup: Again thanks for your comments :D



Not sure if you've had chance to review imgur but the site has been updated over the last week - and it's more functional now. You can now sort the album in filename order and then produce BBCodes for multiple images all the same time. It's still free too...

I've now moved all but about 900 images to a mix of imgbox (not very convenient), imgur (also not very convenient), and imgbb (very convenient).

We'll see how it goes... I'll report back if any problems.

It was quite a hassle (I needed to download the Flickr images since I'd done a lot of editing within Flickr), though much compensated for through reading through and looking at the pics in old reports :D .

Had a quick look at it but not had time to suss it out properly yet. Thanks for the heads up on the update :)

About 4500 of them :( .

But Yorkshiremen refuse to be blackmailed... :D

PS if you're interested, there are some little tricks that make using Imgur a bit easier (it's still not as good as Imgbb) - PM me if you would like me to send you details - I discovered them the hard way, so I may be able to save you a bit of time...
