    My drugs preclude drinking. I am trying to make a scarecrow very, very quickly.

    I feel, drugs or not, need for scotch and rocks.

    Why do you need to make it very, very quickly?

    I don't want you to think us Herts people are a bit special, but following on from traffic cone man in Hemel Hempstead, we have this news, from Watford:

    I'm intrigued to know what prompted someone to ask this under FOI in the first place...

    Dropbox help please!

    A person has sent me a weblink to their public dropbox folder.
    How do I put pics from my PC into their dropbox?
    I've tried dragging & dropping, & that ain't working.

    Please bear in mind when replying that I am a complete novice with PC's & IT (amongst other things...)
    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.

    Having a quick skim of the dropbox website, I think you need to install dropbox to add files - you can see files if someone sends you a link to their dropbox, but not sure you can add anything.

    you need a dropbox account i think. then you just drag and drop it in when you are logged in.

    otherwise should be an upload option somewhere.

    :D

    Ye Deville Cometh .... remember she's in the country - and it's all pagan out there. Probably get a Druid banging on her door with a big stick if there's no scarecrow when Ye Deville Cometh.

    Did you go late Pastures or early? I went early and it was mobbed with people stocking up pre-Wimbledon. Not only had a long queue (like Christmas) when I finally got to the conveyor, the person in front paid with about 40 coupons. I can imagine it was quite a serene place to shop post 2pm.
