That was fantastic, certainly. Yes, fantastic and a great read. Glad to have reached the end of the road. Thank you and well done. (Brought some memories back for me with the location!).

How's everyone doing? Hey, I still can't figure out how to upload pics onto this bloody thing. I wanted to do a writeup about my trip to Spain and back but I want to add pics as I do it.

Someone help me out here please.

Might be something to do with your Carpe status Toddyboy, think if your a "Supporting Member" you can add a fair few photos (depending on the size of the files) but I'll be corrected if I'm wrong not so many if you're not a member, I usually upload photos from my iPhone or digital camera to the laptop "Pictures" in "My Documents" folder then simply "Attach" when creating a post.  I'm sure your's will be the same chap.
