my coming absence

All the best for the big day. \:D/

On your wedding day
by Melanie Gibson

Today is a day you will always remember - the greatest in anyone's life.
You'll start off the day just two people in love and end it as husband and wife.

It's a brand new beginning, the start of a journey, with moments to cherish and treasure.
And although there'll be times when you both disagree, these will surely be outweighed by pleasure.

You'll have heard many words of advice in the past, when the secrets of marriage were spoken, but now you know that the answers lie hidden inside, where the bond of true love lies unbroken.

So live happy forever as lovers and friends, it's the dawn of a new life for you, as you stand there together with love in your eyes from the moment you whisper, "I do".

And with luck, all your hopes, and your dreams can be real, may success find its way to your hearts.
Tomorrow can bring you the greatest of joys, but today is the day it all starts.

Congratulations larmyia

Congratulations.

A toast to a long and prosperous union

Save me a slice of

Congrats and all that.

Hugo.

Roy, the big old softy

oooo. I love Cornwall... it's the Australian surfer colony of England!!

ok larmyia, perhaps you will again give me that further incentive to go avatar hunting!

congrats!

And getting married causes truancy now? It's only fitting that you would be truant, from the Celtic, truan, going to Cornwall as you are. They're a truagh lot they are.

Where's your laptop? You have to have something to get you through the evenings. What else would you be doing with your time, mining tin?

cheers,

gary

awww thanks everyone.

Roy, that was really touching.

and Gary, as much as I love you all on this forum, I think James would kill me if I was hanging out here on our honeymoon. but I'm sure we'll manage to find some other things to do to fill our time

see you next week

larmyia

Woo! Congrats

Also

That's an inspired bit of emotional blackmail, I like it, I like it a lot

Congratulations!

Have a wonderful day and a great honeymoon!

What's with the gingerbread men and No Entry signs? :?

Ditto :?

I feel that we must grant Gary honorary status as a citizen of these fair shores of Albion for that interesting derivation of the word truancy

Hotlinking denied.

Just to clear up those strange gingerbread men

What Gingerbread men?

I'm so confused, Probably too much celebratory champers :oops:

Don't worry Briski, I'm with you - no idea what they're on about - just nod and smile, that's what I do.

Nah still don't get ......... oh :oops:

Or do I ?

Hugo, PTH and I can see strange No Entry signs where presumably the rest of you are seeing emoticons or linked graphics of some sort. As TPH has now suggested, these graphics are shown when someone hot-links to a graphic that the owner does not want you to hot-link to. But clearly their methods are a bit hit-and-miss as some of us can (presumably) see the intended graphics and some of us just see No Entry signs (with gingerbread men too).

Very odd - I'm presuming we're all using Smiley Xtra?

I know for sure I am. One strange thing - why the hell would someone use a gingerbread man?!?

There is some good news though, as I am apparently not drunk I can get back to that champers, Woo!

HB - It's nothing to do with the method used to add the image link to the page, but everything to do with the server or directory configuration of where the image is hosted. These things are normally set up in the .htaccess file but are never very effective, as you are now seeing. If you google 'hot linking' you'll probably be able to work out what they are trying to do and how (I don't have time at the moment) but it will probably have a lot to do with where the image is being called from e.g. from a page within the site itself or from a page on a different server.

Roy - yes I get how you're seeing a different image - they've set up hotlinking protection etc etc - I'm just slightly confused why they would presumably submit their emoticons for use on Smiley Xtra and then object to the hotlinking.

Roy I was seeing the same image as you, just didn't peg it to hotlinking.

They are not that clued up on how to configure .htaccess to control hotlinking as they seem to have made the classic error of blocking all access including their own domain. Direct browser connection to the image works so they got that bit right.

Hugo - it was TPH who twigged it as I did not recognise the silly image. I looked into the whole .htaccess anti-hot-linking issue some time ago but came to the conclusion that it was too easy to fool and too easy to get wrong, whereby legitimate viewers get denied access too. If anyone knows a simple, foolproof method of stopping hot-linking then I'm all ears (eyes) as a few of my clients don't like their product pictures being used on other people's websites.

A big copyright watermark usually sorts em out

Ever so slightly back on topic and late as usual, congratulations young lady. Just start as you mean to go on. Mind you anyone who can watch CSI AND forum post AND keep her man at the same time doesn't need any advice from me.
Hope you had a wonderful day / night.

CSI and forum posting? Oooh no, I prefer to give each one my undivided attention

Congrats :D

Congratulations larmyia,
I hope you enjoy a long and happy life together.

All the best larmyia, but I have to warn you, you are now officially off my fantasy list.

DE

there you go Larmyia, happy wedding. It's got official board approval

Oh no it hasn't, we'll have to take a straw poll on this.

Hugo, you need to see the original to understand why it's so good...

...along with all the rest of Banksy's stencil graffiti.

There was a nice set of these happy riot police all across a rail bridge in south london a while back (no tank alas) must have taken him all night to get it done but well worth it. Alas I can;t find my picture of it at the moment

ok not seen that before.

Ok Gleddy that does meet with board approval.

Check this out Hugo > http://www.banksy.co.uk

Oh wonderful, the guys a genius artist.

Hadn't seen this site but had seen a programme on the work he had produced on the Israeli wall.

There you go then Gleddy; if Hugo's happy with it then you've obviously struck gold

Hugo's happy, Larmyia is happy.. we are all happy.

reaching across the forum with good avatar utilisation.

:mrgreen:

Tyssen - your new avatar is scary ...here we go again

Oh great now we have to re-convene the board :roll:

At least we've all got avatars, Hugo

and what makes you think I haven't ?

Even I finally found one to my liking, with apologies to Johnny Hart.

cheers,

gary

You see a blank space, I see perfection !

I don't even see the stars there any more, thanks to Greasemonkey's over-zealous avatar suppression

hello lovely people. hope you've all been behaving whilst I've been away (unlike me! )

thank you all for your lovely messages I shall post a pic when they come through from the photographer.

and thank you to gleddy for the new avatar. much much better

off to buy food and all that fun stuff. catch you later.

larmyia

just doing it for the 'team'

trust me...we all appreciate it!

See? I told you to take the laptop. Couldn't last a full week without us. And yeah, we all sleep better without the old avatar in our minds. Of course Tyssen went nutty with his.

Welcome back.

cheers,

gary
