haha, that is the most polite way of saying " if you don't like it, you can do one"! Brilliant.
Respect to you my friend. No, I'm not moaning about any set up or anything so please don't think that. I'm just UNBELIEVABLY inarticulate when it comes to computers. I'll be honest, you lost me at "published size limits" to be fair but I'll get the kids to help me out, no drama.
Just learning my way around. Let me know if I become too taxing and i'll bugger off, no harm done.

Saw your story, both parts! Congrats on the Hulk, that's my grail watch too. Wear it in good health. And yes, wear it, they are very rugged you don't need to worry about breaking it!

You are perceptive, my friend and took it with the wry wit in the same spirit I intended.

No you’re not too taxing - you brought a fresh story to the community.

Its a moody hulk from Thailand, he thinks it's hilarious whilst I'm destroyed. Secretly I think the real ones coming, any minute. It doesn't. My birthday's in November so come Christmas the brain starts whirring. I'm getting a watch! Christmas day comes. I don't get a watch. I was gutted but not one to make a fuss, so I just smashed some stuff up. The following Feb I'm sitting in front of the tv and the mrs drops my grail watch in my lap! She'd been conspiring with my brother, as we were by now avid watch fans, and had been saving up for 18 months. The 40th was the goal but she come up short. It then moved to Christmas but again she didn't have enough. She had to pay £10450 from grey which is a lot of money to us. The only problem now is I'm too bloody scared to wear it incase I damage it! I know what your all going to say. She's lucky to have me!
Look after yourselves.
This was an epic conclusion. And provoked some quality laughs. Well done & congratulations!

Best quote I've seen in quite some time. Thanks for the laugh!

And welcome!

By the way, you're not the only one with posting issues. Every time I have attempted to post a pic, except once, it showed up rotated 90 degrees.
