I use Photobucket or Tinypic - you need to log on of course, and it is easy to sign up.

Then select the IMG/img Code for Forums & Message Boards, which they give you to paste with your message/reply.

Make sure you replace the [IMG] in square brackets with [image] on both sides of the link.
I know you have to do that with Tinypic anyway.
And you don't need to sign up for Tinypic.

Thanks chaps, I'll have a go.

Yup, should have mentioned the IMAGE/image thing with Photobucket, and I have to delete the URL bits at either end, also didn't realise that you don't have to sign up for Tinypic. ;)

Am I right in thinking that they are now one and the same company?

Is there a chance for me to see it?

Thanks Beaky. Love your cartoon...Clarkson looks great!

Had to Google that. Saw the episode but didn't get this reference.
That's why I said 'correct me if I'm wrong'. My English is far from perfect "...I learn it from book..." :D

I am pretty sure 99.9% of viewers did not get the reference. Unless you were a grunt in the Vietnam War it is unlikely that you would. But once it was explained, slowly, with etymological references, there was outrage.

The thing is that it is always open season on Clarkson. Somewhat ironically Top Gear presenters have become the one minority whom it is safe to insult. Now that we are no longer allowed to take the piss out of the Welsh they are all that there is left. Any comedian who is dying on a panel show can win the audience around with a cheap Clarkson jibe.

I hope Chappers :D reads the above since he chastised me in a previous post with:-

"Do you mean the FKL with H982? Pretty clear!"

Actually that is pretty clear, at least when pointed out. Gordon was asking about the 'slope' reference.

The shows not exactly faimed for it's subtelty

I think it was the H that threw me, and I'm going to be really dense here and ask what is this slope you refer to? :S

Nice use of slang Spanish too (well researched)
