First of all,, welcome :)

My screen shows the oldest post first,, oldest to newest. Is that what you want?

At the top of the page click where it says User CP, then click Edit Options, scroll down to thread options, and in Thread display mode,, choose Linear Oldest First. That should do it.


Darn,, KOBO beat me to it. He must be all cannoli hyper tonight. :D

I'll gladly take your Oreo dear girl. Signature field is text only, at the owner's choice. Plain & simple. Looks like you put a pic in the Profile Picture field, which is supposed to be a real picture of you, if you want to post them, and only shows up if somebody reviews your public profile. Go to the Edit Avatar link to either choose or add your own avatar. Custome avatars are limited to 64x64 pixels and only 8 kilobytes file size IIRC.

Welcome to MG Dande. Most of the guys here are well, let's just say they are not too dangerous. dperino, is fast like a rabbit, so if you intend to interact with him, don't always expect him to be on when you hit send. Before you click, he is usually out of here.

Now that we know your a blonde, which do you prefer....Taco or Cannolli?
(cannolli is a favorite dish of MG) ;)

...

So? I've got goats...
They eat cannolis or tacos...
They don't care about the IQ of carrots, or celery, or kiwis, or mangos - they just eat 'em...
They're not picky - horny, yes, but not picky...

And they don't need no software to resize nuthin', neither...

So there...

...
sometimes this place seems like weird cross between a produce market, a farm and a restaurant! Of course the kiwis are the best of the bunch in the forenamed group? Oh, did I just make up another word? "forenamed"? Robo, what's with you and the goats? Are they for wool or meat or dairy? Or are they just lawnmowers lol?

I watch some TV sometimes. Actually, I try to read while Grandma watches.
There is going to be one good show coming, though.
Its like COPS, except that it is going to be set in America's City, no, no, that would be The World's city. I'm talking of course, about the:


NEW YORK CITY! :)

I think the name of the show is NYPD. It is not actors, but real New York City Police doing their jobs...

I hope to check it out.

Wilkommen, Dande.
You gave me quite a fright, there! :) :) :rolleyes:

Laurie dont know how long you've been away from the UK but British classic TV is no longer, gone are the superb comedys.. well not strickly true, we have endless repeats of them!

plus we only have a few serious programs now, most as I say are docu-soaps, reality TV, pop idol, and 50 different home improvement programs oh and the odd gardening one as well... UK tv has basically died :( sad as it is we live of watching the stress some minor celebrity or nut job who wants to become famous ( Big Brother 5 )

Thge best parts of Channel 4 now are the Channel 4 news and strangely enought the influx of US dramas and soaps... they do mind you have some great History & Factual programs ( Time Team for one )



prime time UK tv for tonight http://www.radiotimes.com/tv/now.html

get past 7pm and low and behold.... Channel 4's offering consists of "How clean is your house".... followed by "Honey I ruined the house" and a classic IMO "Fraiser" ( US ) then the mind numbing Big Brother.

Channel 5 seems to now offer the best mix of programming oh and BBC2 is still a great source of off beat programs and factual documentrys.


sadly classic british TV is no more...... RIP :(

Softshell tacos are a mistake. Someone at one time or another,, screwed up an order, and filled a burrito with taco filling, and fed it to an Easterner. And,, he/she actually LIKED it. In a REAL Mexican restaurant, there is no such animal as a soft shelled taco. :D
