Welcome back! 'Long time no see!!
-
Right guys and gals! 'Time to stop all this nonsense and get back to work!! (I've seen enough blind panic and stupidity to last me a lifetime...)
-
Well... Something in the news today actually made me smile! A Financial Times reporter, in an article she wrote about the difficulties she was having when trying to use cash, after having lost her wallet... It seems that people in the UK these days won't touch cash with a barge pole. (In case it is contaminated...??!???)
Whilst waiting for her replacement credit card to arrive, she had to ask her Dad for some help... (to make a payment for her, using his own credit card...)
Hehe...!! Well, that's what Dad's are for!!!

Well... 'Just finished a two month job working on a project off the coast of Somalia. This is usually a time for getting all excited about going home but, now, who knows when I will make it back there?
I'm still at stage one: shock/denial - and the tragedy is only just beginning...
Time for some prayers. And a little bit less of the old blind panic. And a lot more international cooperation, if you please?
-
Yeah... Well... Ummm... Let's all panic and pretend that, not only is corona virus 100% instantly fatal in all cases - but there is nothing else in the world that we can possibly catch and even if we did, none of these other diseases are even half as bad as corona beer, sorry, VIRUS!!!!
And we are all going to get it and the end of the world is just around the corner?!!!
Have another beer!
Cheers!!

UK figures, rough, annual, from a quick Google search:Deaths due to flu complications: 600 - and anything up to 10,000 in a really bad year.Road accident fatalities: 1784 - about 5 a day, on average. Injuries, obviously, are way higher (160.378 reported in 2018)Deaths due to cancer: 165,000Deaths due to heart attack and other circulatory problems (including, presumably, stroke?): 165,000Deaths due to stroke alone: 32,000And for the USA:Approximately 1.5 million heart attacks and strokes occur every year in the United States. More than 800,000 people in the United States die from cardiovascular disease each year—that's 1 in every 3 deaths, and about 160,000 of them occur in people under age 65.I don't particularly want bird flu, or SARS, or corona virus - or any other kind of bug - but let's keep these things in perspective.

Hi! Long time, no see! I didn't realize, you were still in the New Members group... Anyway, welcome to the Full Members group now. You should find that any posting restrictions that you may have experienced as a New Member have now been removed.
If you can edit your uploaded images to give them titles/descriptions and maybe a few key words, that will make your images searchable - both within the site and, of course, via external search engines.
-
It turns out the problems I was having with uploading images were related to the Internet Service Provider that I was using at the time - not the site. Anyway, I managed to improve a few things along the way, so you should find that your images upload a lot quicker now - ISP notwithstanding!!
-
How's tricks? 'Good to see you managed to pay a flying visit!
-
OK, well good luck with uploading images! I am still not 100% certain that the issue has been resolved? It could just be an ISP issue where I am right now. Anyway, ' any issues, just drop me a pm. And thanks for your patience!
-
Please bear with me for a bit, while I try to get the Gallery working properly. I have just upgraded the site software to the latest version - and now it is taking forever to upload images - even small ones...Grrrr!!!
-
To all members: Please could you ensure that you give titles - (or, at least, a description) - and preferably some keywords to your images when you upload them to the Gallery? Some members are very good at this - but others are quite content to just leave the image number assigned by their cellphone or camera, when uploading... It show's in the number of image views!
