Gallery 2

Tuesday, January 10th, 2006

We’ll i’m still battling with the installation of Gallery 2 within the Wordpress blogsite. Thanks Gareth, for your assistance with this… So i’m afraid the photographs we desperately want to show you all won’t be available to view either in this site or on a separate gallery website, for sometime yet.

It seems a function called module re-write is not enabled on the server i am using to host the sites, so the modules installed within Gallery 2 can’t review and render the photographs that I upload. These add frames to the photos to be viewed in a consistent form on the blogsite.

Oh well… I’ll email my host company and see what they can do.

Doh!

Until 2 days ago, the apartment number in our address on the Contact Us page was wrong… if you have already sent something, don’t worry- the apartment you’ve sent it to exists and the concierge in our building knows our surname, so it will get here!

For those wishing to send something, please confirm that the apartment number in the address you are using is 506, not 405.

How was the Hogmanay party?!

Thursday, January 5th, 2006

Our dear friend, Julie Gilstrap, held a Hogmanay Party in her flat to which, she invited a random selection of our wedding guests! Her neighbours probably already know that.

We’ve heard reports of much hilarity, popularity, criminality and sonorous generality. Anyway, we hope those of you who made a trip to her party had a great time (That includes John from Brussels, Linda from Manchester…)

Anyway, having not heard anything from her since, we are assuming Julie has survived her own bash, and didn’t meet a man.

To quote her… “What’s my deal with guys who don’t live in this country? For the love!”. I don’t know. So we’ll make it a bit easier by posting a list of pre-requisites on our website! Her criteria include:

  • Tory
  • Christian
  • Tory
  • All round goodguy
  • 3-dimensional (unlike the man hanging in her living room)
  • Tory
  • Comedy (or Commy, for that matter-she’s never considered a Communist)
  • Pro-european (yeh, right)
  • Has a telephone landline
  • Local (i.e. not in the US, Greece, Chile or India)
  • A message to my fans…

    Timbo: “A big HELLO to all my fans out there. I send you all festive greetings! May you all be blessed by Timbo this year. If you are particularly lucky, you might be willing to travel to my ranch using every air mile you’ve ever collected. Wouldn’t that be great?!”

    Doug: “Yes Timbo. So, Timbo, is there a reason for your New Year message today?”

    Timbo: “Urrmmm. Not really. But i just wanted to say to my fans I love you all! Particularly you, Michael, who has been sending me messages every day since discovering my website. My special envoys Douglas and Rachel recently returned with a Pan du Pascua hand-made by Michael. It was very nice. It was fit for a bear.”

    Doug: “Ho ho Timbo, watch out for that wicked humour… you’re only a bear. Luckily, for you, Timbo (eh hermmmm, and us), the Pan du Pascua didn’t fit inside a bear and you didn’t eat it all.”

    Hesitation.

    “Well I think we should finish with that Timbo.”

    God Bless you Awwwwwll!

    Timbo: “A happy new year to awwwwwwll you plebs” (said with a tentative, nervous smile in the style of Elizabeth)

    Doug: “Yes Timbo, I think thats enough of the Pisco. You’re already near-horizontal.”
