As you awake this morning..........

[taximan007]

.......I hope everybody's PC's are in fine fettle and running to speed.

Did the Technical guys find the root problem that was causing SOME peoples computers to have problems? If it was my "signature pic" I apologise unreservedly once again, as previously stated I DID remove this at the moment I was aware people were complaining.

Why did I post it? I liked it, I thought it was very clever and I had hoped people might like it also. My profile accepted it, so as far as I was concerned because of this it would be OK, obviously not. Not being of a technical mind I am unaware of "files sizes" and anything else that may come into play when adding this sort of stuff.

I am the type of guy who likes a quiet life, and would never intentionally upset, annoy or offend anybody (I probably do all 3 to some people), but if I do then as in real life I wish they would tell me to my face. The same can be done here, either in a post or by PM. There are over 8,000 members on blonde, none of us are going to please everybody all of the time. but that is what the forum is about, different opinions (if we were all the same it would be boring), and providing nobody is abusive everything works fine. I find the range of topics discussed on here are wide and varied, serious and humorous, I love it.

Why do I post pics? Plain and simple really, I like pictures, (maybe that puts me in the Sun readers group!!!!!). I am the first to admit I am not as good at expressing myself in words as a high percentage of members here are, I sit in awe at some people's writing abilities.(Not just Red Dog, that man is on a completely different level IMO). There are many on here who write eloquently, concisely with humour and wit, and still manage to portray a picture in my head as I read their posts, I wish I had this skill.

When I post a picture, I do actually try and make it topical (not just for the sake of it), and yes, I also try and make them humorous, I guess some people like them and some don't, but I post them all the same. From my own personal point of view, I find a thread, especially a long one, very difficult to read if it is not broken by the odd pic or two, and I love to see it when OTHERS post pictures also.

I have been out of the UK now 17 months, and blonde has been my link back with the "homeland" and I have enjoyed every minute of it, and I will always be grateful for having been accepted, tolerated by you all, it has meant a lot.

Due to a comment made yesterday I felt (rightly or wrongly)  I was posting to many pictures here on blonde, so I spent a couple of hours searching through my old posts and removing my pics, I hope this will enhance the performance of peoples PC's especially when they are working.

It made me very sad as I removed my pics, I remembered every one of them and my reason for posting it at the time.
It felt like I was tearing up an old family photo album, a chapter of my life has now disappeared ( I can't help my feelings).

I would like to thank those of you who sent me Pm's yesterday and for your comments, it did help. Thank You.

In the future I may post pictures again, I may not, I don't know. As I said previously I like everyone to be happy ALL of the time, but unfortunately this will never happen.

So as you rise this morning, and with your tea and toast, or whatever it is you have there, I wish you all good morning and hope all is well with you.

what's this about pictures?

My friend, noone in their right mind would actually be pissed off with you over not seeing some pictures or Blonde laggin a bit for a day..(if it actually was you that caused the problem by posting too many...I have some doubts, but haven't read the entire thread yet as I don't really care that much about something being a bit slow for a day.)

 In fact, I quite like the pics you post and hope you shall keep it up...I would genuinely miss them if you didn't post them anymore.

Thanks for making every thread a bit better, the effort you put in is greatly appreciated.

No offence meant by post yesterday morning Taxi. If I thought you'd be upset then there is no way I would have posted it. As I said on the previous post, your pictures are fine and I like visual communication. In real life its all about the eyes, the gateway to the soul and online pictures do help cheer the place up.

Please accept my humble apologies..

Taxi, I really don't think your pics were the cause of the lagging, just some stickage in the vaults of blonde's engine room I expect. Keep posting m8, your our link to the far far east.

I had no problem with your post regarding my "sig pic" therefore no need of an apology. But thank you for the flowers

I don't feel I over reacted, I wrote as I was feeling.

But i respect your opinion as thats what the forum is all about.
