I am delighted (and relieved) to advise that Baggy Trsousers has a new home with Bob (the bosun) Austin at Milton Keynes SC.
If anyone can restore her to former glory its Bob! Px

ps does anyone know how to add jpeg pics or make them smaller

[1304]

Making jpg pics smaller is simple!
Assuming you can see them in a folder on your PC, right click on the thumbnail, and select edit.  A program called Paint will open, showing your pic. In the toolbar at the top is a button labelled Resize... click this, and a little widow will open, letting you choose how to scale the image... 
I usually click on the pixels button, then edit the larger of the two dimensions down to 1000... the program will shrink the smaller number in proportion.  Click ok on this box, and your pic will shrink on screen.
I usually just close the program at this point, it prompts if I want to save and I select yes... This does overwrite the original large version, though!  You may prefer to click Save As, and save the new smaller version with it's own filename, before closing the program..
Hope this helps!
