OldBoy67 should be able to see it without one - its just a video upload that photobucket wouldn't permit me to up[load for an unknown reason which I've stuck into one of my facebook accounts.

I should have explained... I had that problem once with a tinypic photo, forum refused it. When I checked the link very carefully, i found that part of the number/letter url was in fact a 4 letter word and the forum had refused it. That's why I tried 'Scunthorpe' above, but I guess that is allowed as an exception.

Scaly - I've had problems with these "honesty and decency" filters as well. In the main they are just plain dumb. Perhaps the dumbest I have experienced was when creating a public message on the Bomber Command Memorial website when making a donation on behalf of my uncle shot down and killed over the Med in 1943. There was a box to enter the abreviation for his rank which was Wireless Operator/Air Gunner or WOp/AG as it was then known in the RAF. WOp was not permnitted as a rank because in case it offend the Italians in the crowd. So he had to be demoted to plain old AG.

I think I've wandered a bit off topic. Time for my medicine.
