Not that isn't right. Too many posters just leave messes of posts behind and it is so annoying.

There must be a quote tag [ /QUOTE] around the message you're quoting.

No you've got it all wrong, it's not like that anymore, computers are now mans friend.

I call mine Graham, (after Mikey), I occasionally buy him random presents, surprises from the corner shop, chocolate bars or a packet of sweets.

He likes Galaxy cookie crumble, I feed him through a usb port however he rarely eat more then two squares without complaining the ungrateful git.

Is this what you are trying to do ?

My husband ,i will floor the attic.
Me, cant we just pay someone to do it.
Him, no way i will do it myself.
Two years later , attic half floored .

Husband, i will makeover the garden.
Me, cant we get a gardener in to do it.
Him, no way can easily do it myself.
Two years later half the garden done.

So i live with half an attic and half a garden and if i point this out i am nagging
drives me crazy

Not good at computers you say!

I have a, friend, who's a Nigerian prince. He says that he knows you, but needs your email address. Can you PM me it please? Something to do with US Dollars or something. He wouldn't go into it with me.

If you want to quote the entire post, just press the quote button.

If you want to quote part of a post, highlight the bit you want to quote, and press the Alt+F4 buttons together, then type your reply and press "Submit Reply"
