    Well, you DO have a certain sartorial elegance especially in your choice of shirts ...... :emoticon-0105-wink:

    But, I need the loft of my new place to be boarded so I can store all my extra "stuff" (14 guitar cases take up a lot of room for one .....) and actually get up there. And, being old and pretty crocked, I don't fancy crawling around up there. Just thought a young, fit type of gent like yourself who, clearly, knows his way around a loft, might be able to assist! :emoticon-0105-wink:

    A friend took me to Monkey World yesterday as a belated birthday present. Absolutely loved it as I am a fan of the TV programme and have an interest in animal behaviour and evolution. I have seen a lot of distant relatives lately, so felt I was adding a few more to the collection :) Have to recommend the place to anyone with young children/grandchildren. Loads of space with play areas and places to buy burgers and ice cream...didn't hear one child whinge as they were all excited by the animals and having fun. And no, regrettably you can't leave them there. :)

    Is George the orang-utan still going? I used to sponsor him when he was a mere satsuma back in the day.

    http://www.monkeyworld.org/news/225/jeremy-keeling-the-orangutan-who-saved-my-life.htm

    Interesting article about how Amy came into Jeremy Keeling's life. Amy came to Monkey World with Jeremy and was the first animal there. She is the mother of Gordon, but totally selfish...she loves three things...Amy, Amy and Amy. There was a great scene in the TV series where she ate an ice lolly, looked at the stick and gave it to Gordon to chew. For Amy, that was massive generosity. :)

    What is the file extension.? Turn it into a jpeg [.jpg] and or shrink the picture in a photo editor like Paint Shop Pro or Windows Paint or Adobe PhotoShop or Google Picasa or Photos. Everyone has at least one of those.
