    right click on them and select "copy image URL"

    Then press Ctrl v to paste them. This will look like this

    http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-happy110.gif

    Then to make them appear put [img][/img] before the http bit and /img inside [] after the gif bit.

    Hope this is easy to follow x

    Whooo - maybe I will get myself some riding gear just to get the confidence boost! Way to go Piq :)
    I was just thinking that! Woohoo :j
    Me too, I will try and squish myself into my 11 year old daughters jodpurs next time I need to confront someone !!!

    Piq you are amazing, well done, certainly didnt see that story coming !

    I'm sure bast can pretend not to have read that last post ! :D

    It's not necessarily a good look, bit stretched across the bottom, but the boots have a satisfying amount of side lacing! Something about riding gear makes a lot of men nervous....

    Great outcome - hugely well done! I especially enjoyed the bit about "recommended European standards" - pure genius. And the riding gear thing - maybe when you "put the boot in" it helps to be wearing boots ... oh dear, this could be spurring me on to a dreadful pun-fest. I will stop now. (No withering glances, please). At least you won't be saddled with him. No, no, stop me now.....

    Darling you need to get out more:D you have gone puntastic!

    I think she's on all of them! I'm fully expecting to see her on Martin's blog next :D Then we'll see her popping up during his TV appearances....

    Him: Like what?

    Me: Double time, cash up front

    Him: Splutter - Okay

    Me: If I'm not paid in advance I will walk out the door. By the way, I'll only do it for this weekend, you will have to make alternative arrangements going forward. I will not cover beyond this weekend

    So there you have it. I'm working for double cash in hand both Saturday and Sunday ;)

    Oh Piquant, this is brilliant! I laughed out loud reading and the poor dog on my lap gave me the most disdainful look.

    If he does cough up and you end up working the weekend I bet you'll have a brilliant shift, you'll be all buoyed up and you know he'll be miserable.

    Three Cheers for Piquant the Sassy! :T:T:T

    Are they supposed to be doing the Mexican Wave ?!!

    Can you imagine, a no doubt very Glamorous Granny popping up on the TV with Martin ? . Do you think we will get a mention when she is famous ?!!
