My rant for today. I can't upload pictures to Photobucket. I tried to upload a tweet about the three words for Sherlock series 3, but an error message came up, so I closed it all down and tried again. Same thing happened. So then I tried to upload a photo that I had uploaded previously so I knew that should work. No luck. I tried looking through the site for an explanation but no luck. If I can't figure out what went wrong I will have to find another site for uploading pictures so I can keep posting pictures of Benny Boy to keep Susi and Britta happy.

Oh, try to repair that, hepzibah, I'd miss your photos sooo much.

A lorry is a large, heavy motor vehicle for transporting goods or troops; a truck. So a bit bigger than a standard car.

Thanks!

Arya! Our next door neighbours' son flew out to the USA, with his dad, yesterday to go to Iowa. He is about to start studying for his degree at Iowa University but he's mostly there because he plays golf and they have a great programme there for golfers.

Cool! I live really close to the University of Iowa, and it's always nice to know someone else has some sort of connection to Iowa

you did it before. What error message did you get? What was the end tag on the tweet photos? PNG or BMP don't work on photobucket. What I wud do, is, save the tweet pics to your PC and then upload to photo. hope that helps.

rant---my cell phone gets no data connections in certain areas of my town I've since learned that the sprint tower network is down only in those areas. and one of those areas is my local library!! UGGGGHHHH And yesterday my kitty spilled water all over my keyboard. she likes to drink out of my cups!! but my keyboard is fine, so i don't have to buy a new one.

YES even tho I'm a kitty here, I have a real kitty too!! Have I said I LOOOOOVE kitties? they sleep all day and wanna play at night.

When do they play? thanks mattlocked

Mattlocked · August 26, 2012 9:24 am

When I was watching at first, they just didn't stop playing - and I couldn't stop watching.
If you scroll down you find some older videos, quite nice, too.

*shouting mode on:* My son's hockey coach is a b****y b*****d, I'd like to $§"&%/? him until he stops being such a p***k. *shouting mode off* Sorry, but I'm feeling better now.

P.S. The matter has been fixed. Susi's smiling once again.

Oh dear, I hope your son's hockey coach isn't being too horrible. Anyway, I'm glad it's been taken care of.

SusiGo · August 29, 2012 7:37 pm

He's a choleric and pathologically ambitious, that's all

Mattlocked · August 29, 2012 7:58 pm

Hm? But he led you to the cup, didn't he?

SusiGo · August 29, 2012 8:40 pm

Well, that's right. He's a good coach but sometimes he doesn't know when to stop. Shouting and ranting on the sidelines.

sherlockskitty · August 30, 2012 12:50 am

I don't think a couch should be allowed to be obnoxious or shouty-wouty. That's not setting a good example for the players OR the watchers.

SusiGo · August 30, 2012 6:09 am

The other day he gave someone his mobile phone so that he wouldn't throw it away during the match.

Mattlocked · August 30, 2012 7:21 am

My sister once told me she is a choleric, too. And she was kind of proud when she heard that Horst Tappert was, too. lol
And I have slight tendencies sometimes.... Esp. at work. But then again I don't work with children. (Only with customers )

Note: Horst Tappert = actor in "Derrick", a former (quite dusty) German "crime" series...

SusiGo · August 30, 2012 7:55 am

Oh, Horst Tappert, he was so unsexy, poor guy. These bags under his eyes were enormous.

Mattlocked · August 30, 2012 7:59 am

that's why he maybe started wearing glasses later on...

SusiGo · August 30, 2012 8:07 am

Now that's a shock. I somehow hoped you wouldn't post one. Must have a quick look at the Benedict thread to make up for that.

Davina · August 30, 2012 10:33 am

Excess baggage!

SusiGo · August 30, 2012 10:45 am

Now isn't it fascinating how this threads finds its way from my son's hockey coach to Horst Tappert's pouches?

I've tried to watch the new Doctor Who on I-player and it just kept freezing. So I gave up! Then I tried to watch Miranda and guess what? That's kept freezing too. Grrr!
