Hey Eldo, I'm trying to post a picture of some snow for you. I took the picture, saved it to my desktop, and clicked on the "upload image" icon, selected it, then clicked "host it". Nothing. I'm sure this is a technical issue, as I have been extensively trained in the use of Commodore 64's and LOGO. (Maybe you're too young to get that joke.) Anyway, if you can tell me what I'm doing wrong I'll try to get some made in the U.S. snow pics up (U.S. snow is of course superior to snow produced anywhere else).

Not sure your picture will stop the creaking sounds. They are getting quite loud now.

Well dont think you will have the creaking for too long Lance, from what the forecast is saying its heading my way and picking up speed. BBC Scotland are warning of storm force winds- so 90mph and upwards Mad

Managed what looked like the last train for a while. Its a bit cosy in here... london is emptying!

better tie your kilt down Petty- Mrs Figg

Thankyou for your concern but I have taken several precautions you can be sure. I have attached weights to the hem of my kilt and nailed my feet to the floor Nod

And as an extra safety precaution I am making myself heavier by doubling my buckie intake for the night. drunken

but the gasses of the lower intestine would make you lighter

After you click the upload icon, you selected the file, right? (you didn't mention it, just trying to make sure). After choosing the file, then you click host it, and a list of links should come up. Copy and paste the bottom link into the space that pops up in the 'insert an image' button next door to the 'host an image' button. It's a two button process.

Looks like you might be stuck with that weather longer than I thought Lance- it not coming my way until tomorrow-

"The Met Office amber warning for the period 16:00 to 23:59 on 24 December said: "A deep depression tracking north, to the west of Scotland, will bring a period of storm-force winds with gusts 80 mph to 90 mph later on Tuesday, to affect western Scotland and then into the Northern Isles.
"The public should be prepared for disruption, particularly to travel, as well as interruption to power supplies."- BBC Scotland

Starting to see a very gusty pattern to winter so far this year Evil or Very Mad

This train journey is not going well.

Its been quite scarey here on the south coast. The wind is roaring like an angry ocean, & the strength of it has made cars slide across the road ! The "baskets" of the Giant wheel on the Brighton sea front have been swinging like mad, sea waves crashing higher & stronger than they have in years. I dont bloody like it ! pale
