Dave & Lou
No pictures, I said no pictures.
Are you looking at me?
Daddys girl
A site feed is now available.
I know that I've now got a site feed available at http://berkswell.org.uk/home/atom.xml and how do I know? I managed to get google reader to subcribe. Now whether an atom.xml feed is the same as an RSS I very much doubt, but it does seem to be working.
If I do have a RSS feed I'm as in the dark as ever and I don't seem to have the ability to automatically put one of those nifty orange RSS feed logos via blogger.com. Only time and some one more capable than me will tell.
Opps, have now managed a single picture upload, looks like quite a bit of cleaning up of html code will need to be done as the picasa logo has gone walkabout. So I guess a few pictures might get put up in a totally random order. Or in reverse order.
The google reader sees the pictures but feeds via Firefox are not working as far as I can tell for the pictures.

Managed the picture downloading
Well having purchased a new camera and made it up to Huddersfield for the weekend I've been instructed to have the pictures up on my blog and to do a Michael Winner on the Lounge 68.
So far I've managed the downloading part, but the uploading using Googles soon to be defunct Hello (well in my household anyway) software with special bloggerbot for picture uploading. Needless to say it has spit the dummy out, much like myself.
I've also tried restarting my RSS feed, but not being a techie and having deminishing memory skills I'm not sure what I'm doing other than doing what is probably wrong. This may or may not work only a new post will allow me to find out. So here goes.

My da tells story of a "tight man"
My da is over visiting and was telling me a story about one of his publican friends during his drinking days.
A day in the lift of a "tight man":
On his 81st Birthday John Jess did the following days work:
John drove is lorry down to Belfast early in the morning and loadened half a load of coal and half a load of meal. He then brought it home to the Dromore/Dromara area and delivered it around all of his customer, carrying each bag himself.
A few bags were left over and they were handballed off into his store.
He then served drink in his bar from tea time to 8:30 or 9:00pm when one of his customers arrived with a birthday cake. From about 9:00pm he brought in his bow fiddle and proceded to keep everyone entertained to about 11pm.
Not a bad days work for a man in his 80's.
OK it was funnier when my da was telling the story, but regardless of that I was impressed that someone most people would regard as old and done at 81 could do such a hard days work.
