:idea:
When you post a link in whatsapp/twitter etc (e.g. an ebay link or a bbc news website page link) those apps automatically pull through the appropriate listing title/headline and a thumbnail of the principle image from the page. That looks good.

Can you set the forum up to do the same in a post :?:

I was hoping to organise a choir on here, but I think there are far too many comedians!!

Does make me smile though, keep it up!

Ah yes. Crushes of yesteryear. In no particular order:
Miss Ives (my 2nd, 3rd and 4th form English teacher), Sophia Loren, Alexandra Bastedo (The Champions), Gabrielle Drake (UFO, Nick Drake's sister), Madeline Smith (Hammer horror), Susan Stranks (Magpie), Sue Lawley (newsreader), Ayesha Brough (UFO and a music show on ITV. I can't remember its name), most of Pan's People, Sarah Brightman, Lulu.
The list is endless but I've got to go. Hope some of those beauties ring a ding with some of the err, older gentlemen on this forum. :D
