How do you post the thumbnails??
Just use your mouse hi-light the thumbnail pictures in your gallery then right click then select "copy" then go to your thread and just right click again and select "past" then you will get thumbnails here.
Easy.. :)
Sorry, GoW, but small things can confuse little boys!Quote:

My chellspecker suggested "pate" which is close enough..
Err... OK, back to the market - I don't go there much anymore, too hot for me, choose to look after the kids whilst the little lady goes and spends the money - she came back with some pretty good stuff today - proper nice jumpers for the kids when they go to England - 39 baht a pop (marked as 30 quid for the UK market) - cheap as chips!
My missus has been buying clothes here in the UK to take out to Thailand for her sister and neice - WTF - they've got to be cheaper out in LOS
But darling these are English clothes, the quality is better.
No! These are Chinese clothes, we stopped making clothes here in 1905 !!!!!!!!!!!!!
A lot of clothes, especially kids stuff and wooly stuff, are cheaper in the UK if you can get them in a good sale.
Still, you wouldn't get it as cheap as the stuff we got today - meant for the foreign market, so it's reasonable quality as well.
But if you gave me the choice of shopping for clothes in a Thai department store like Robinsons or the UK, I'd probably choose the UK....so maybe your wife has a point...
Yeah it is surprising how cheap clothes are here in some shops. I'm real class me - 'Mr Primark 2004'.
I think it's the logic of the thing that offends me most. And I hate shopping anywhere, but if it has to be done and I'd rather it were done 'al fresco'
