Lets have a look at your snowy pictures (and traffic-jam nightmares)

[Rare Bird]

This morning

[Marco]

Superb, Andre - bring it on everyone! :)

Who's having it the worst (or best, depending on how you look at it)?

Marco.

[Ali Tait]

Already posted mine but I'll put it here too. Been unable to get to work at all this week so far. :(

[Marco]

Nice one, dude. Any chance, chaps, we can have them show automatically as 'full-size' pics (640 x 480 for message boards) instead of thumbnails?

Cheers! :)

Marco.

[Techno Commander]

We have less than "diddly squat" on the snow front down here. :(

[Ali Tait]

Dunno how to do that Marco.

[Marco]

Select the option in Imageshack or Photobucket for 'resizing for message boards', rather than showing it as a thumbnail, before uploading the pics from your hard drive. You will simply be given a different forum code to post.

I presume you are hosting your images through an appropriate site, rather than simply uploading them directly from your hard drive onto the forum?

Or if you want, I can sort out the pics for you :)

Marco.

[Ali Tait]

No,I was just taking them with my phone and emailing them to my computer.

[Marco]

Ah - that's your problem... You need to import them from your phone onto the hard drive of your computer, then host them through the likes of Photobucket or Imageshack.

Do you know how to do that? If not find out.

If you look here at the Imageshack site, you'll see what I'm talking about:

http://imageshack.us/

When you've done all of the above, you simply click on the 'Browse' button, and a window will pop up showing you all the pics stored on your hard drive.

Simply select the ones you want to use, and then click on 'Open'. Then where it says: 'Image Options, Resizing' on the Imageshack window, select '640 x 480 for message boards'. Then where it says: 'Add Label to Thumbnail?' in a drop-down window, select 'no'.

Then click on the big blue 'Upload Now' button.

After a few secs, a page will appear which shows various URL codes. Look down the list until you see 'Forum Code', then simply copy and paste the full URL code shown there in brackets onto the reply box here, on whatever thread you want, and submit that code along with any text you're sending.

Simples! You'll get much better results with your pics that way :)

Marco.

P.S Andre, that also applies to you! ;)

[electric beach]

Helsinki last week. Note the under pavement heating, piped from the underground parking tunnels. Now that's having your act together!

[Marco]

Gosh it looks so lovely, dark and Christmassy there - I LOVE it!! :) :)

It's the glow of the lights in streets and shop windows against the gloom of the night sky, and how the snowy streets, trees and buildings sets all that off so picturesquely, that does it for me. Even though it no doubt feels bitterly cold being there, its somehow also 'cosy'. Especially when you're wrapped up in nice warm clothes!

Dunno, if you know what I mean?

That's one of the main reasons why we love Austria so much. The beautiful quaint and secluded little snow-capped mountain villages are simply wonderful!! You find some amazing little hotels, pubs and restaurants, that serve the most amazing food imaginable in places like that, which are miles off the beaten track and well away from the tourist trap. Getting away from it all like that is what we love to do.

Did you have a good time in Helsinki?

Marco.

[Ali Tait]

Weird Steve,I don't see the pic.

[Reid Malenfant]

Weird Steve,I don't see the pic.
You're not the only one & that's a first for me :eyebrows:

[electric beach]

Not sure I want to be known as "Weird Steve"...:lol:

Could be because I posted them differently. I didn't know how you made the thumbnails so I uploaded the images into a personal user album and pasted the URLs.

Must work 'cos Marco has seen them. :scratch:

[Marco]

Works for me using Internet Explorer. I must have special secret-agent powers! :)

Marco.

[electric beach]

This was on the Austrian / Italian border in the Alps. Pretty treacherous in the snow on a bike, fully loaded for touring with Val. Then in the space of 5 minutes the cloud came down...

http://theartofsound.net/forum/picture.php?albumid=64&pictureid=379

http://theartofsound.net/forum/picture.php?albumid=64&pictureid=382

...and this was the descent. Efectively, done blind in the cloud fog. Clean knickers were needed ;)
Obviously I was a wee bit too occupied to take piccies at the time. If we'd known what we were facing, not sure we'd have attempted it. This photo was taken on a second run in the sun. Brilliant!

http://theartofsound.net/forum/picture.php?albumid=64&pictureid=380

[Ali Tait]

I'm using IE too.

Sorted - I think; I made the album private, which meant that only admin could see it. Sorry Marco, no special powers today.

Is that OK now?

To be more precise, I pasted the BB code directly into the main body of text. Is this a valid method? It's certainly easier than all that Imageshack malarky, which I struggle with to be honest and does limit the photos that I would otherwise post more often. Probably only works with the limited file sizes from my phone.

[Marco]

I'm using IE too.


Are you going to try posting your pics the way I said, Ali? :)

Here's your earlier picture in all it's glory, adjusted via the wonders of Imageshack:


http://img602.imageshack.us/img602/1926/winter204.jpg (http://img602.imageshack.us/i/winter204.jpg/)


Steve, awesome stuff there in Austria! Have you ever been around the Salzburg area, near Zell am See? It's utterly gorgeous there.

Marco.

[Reid Malenfant]

Yes, i can see them :) Interesting ideas heating the pavements :scratch:

[Ali Tait]

Yep see them now Steve.Marco,I'll post tomorrow's via imageshack.

[Marco]

Top man. It's not so much having to post them through Imageshack; merely that however you do it, that they don't appear as just thumbnails.

Steve didn't use Imageshack, yet his pics have appeared 'full-size' :)

Marco.

[Jonboy]

This is mine this morning and now, still snowing very lightly but we are in for a lot tonight by all accounts

Did you have a good time there in Helsinki?

Marco.

Helsinki is one of my favourite cities. It's comparatively small and compact for a capital, very refined, safe and friendly with about 300 excellent restaurants.
I like cities with trams also, that seems to lend old world charm to even Milano!

It was minus 3 degrees last week but you don't feel it with a few glasses of antifreeze inside :glug: Fur coat AND fur knickers is the key.

We rode through Austria both ways and although pretty, we prefer the Italian side of the Alps, for all the reasons you mention - and then some!
I will be eternally grateful to the Austrians for Gewurztraminer though.

[Jonboy]

And one without flash, mental note don't go out in the snow with Crocs on as they act like snow hoovers

http://i419.photobucket.com/albums/pp272/jonboy_01/DSC_0277.jpg

[Alex_UK]

Crikey Jon the windows on your Disco are well frozen! :eek: ;)

See avatar for my best snow picture. We've got off pretty lightly this year, so far - about 2".

[Rare Bird]

The board attachment are fine, click on em they'll be as big as if i used one those .. Outsiders cant see em either :) Theres bigger pain in the buts like Smiley list that never fully loads :steam:

[Marco]

That's an Aol thing, dude. It happens to me, too, which is when I swap over to Internet Explorer, and the problem disappears ;)

Ok, keep the snowy pics coming, folks, particularly those taken when you're out and about - I wanna see some snowy roads and traffic jams! :)

Marco.

[Ali Tait]

8.15 this morning. The car was cleaned of snow yesterday.

http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/7045/winter50.jpg (http://img829.imageshack.us/i/winter50.jpg/)

[Marco]

Way.....you used Imageshack! Not difficult is it, dude? :)

You should delete the 'Uploaded with Imageshack' tag which appears as the second URL code you'll see when you paste the code from Imageshack into the reply box on the forum. I've done it for you this time.

Snow-wise, it's madness where you are just now. I'm going up to Glasgow in a couple of weeks, so I hope the snow will have cleared by then - if not, I'll be going nowhere!

Marco.

[Jonboy]

We havn't ventured out yet but we have had nearly a foot of snow over night and its still snowing

http://i419.photobucket.com/albums/pp272/jonboy_01/P1000506.jpg

[Alex_UK]

Still not as bad as you lot up North, but we've had about another 3" over night:

The uphill was impassible by most cars until the gritter came about an hour ago... :rolleyes:

http://i653.photobucket.com/albums/uu259/Alex_Steel1969/IMG_4018_1.jpg?1291286583

My wife's car, which she came home in last night, and was snow-free when she parked. Had to clear the drive again and the path so she could go to work. (No such worries for me, Maggie the Landrover 110 copes with anything to take little 'un to Nanny's, and then I'm working from home - decided a 250 mile round trip in a draughty and slow Landrover whilst doable, is not much fun compared to sitting in the warm playing records!)

http://i653.photobucket.com/albums/uu259/Alex_Steel1969/IMG_4019_1.jpg?1291286512

Still snowing, reckon we've had about 6" in total since it all kicked off - the snowman's face is pretty much obliterated now, but here's a couple from Tuesday - first, Avatar ready for action...

http://i653.photobucket.com/albums/uu259/Alex_Steel1969/IMG_3922a.jpg?1291287140

...and then giving the snowman a kiss! She'll be heartbroken when he melts! :(

[Rare Bird]

Simular layout to ours, road at the front nothing over the road!..Well i've gotta go to work this afternoon, so it's walking there & back..Just hope it don't end like the back of the 'Shining' movie for me :lolsign:

[Marco]

Hehehe... That's one of my fav films of all time!

Alex - that is seriously cute :)

Marco.

[Alex_UK]

Alex - that is seriously cute :)

My wife thinks so - BMW 1 series, great little car but hopeless in the snow! ;)

Only joking -thanks Marco - I'm biased, but she is such a sweety, and luckily got her dad's good looks! :lol:

Still hasn't stopped snowing...

[shane]

Well, my bit of Devon has had sun, blue skies and fluffy clouds on the horizon for about a week now, but this morning we woke up to nearly half an inch of snow. With a bit of effort, I even managed to find a slightly slippery road to play on!

[Marco]

Alex, haha - indeed!

Shane, lucky you (in terms of not having the inconvenience attached with travelling in snowy conditions), but unlucky you for not having the beautiful snowy scenery to look at, such as others and I are enjoying.

From a photographic point of view, I find wintery landscapes much more interesting and intriguing than blue skies and fluffy clouds - don't you? :)

Keep the pics coming, folks. I'd like to see some of snowy motorway traffic jams from anyone who's been caught in them. So get the cameras on those mobile phones out and start clicking. It'll give you something to do while you're sat there going nowhere! ;)

Marco.

[The Grand Wazoo]

No pics from me - what snow we've had isn't worth mentioning.

[Jonboy]

I'm proud of these icicles, i had to snap a few off to get through the door to my office, 32 inches long one of them

http://i419.photobucket.com/albums/pp272/jonboy_01/DSC_0278.jpg

[Marco]

Fantastic stuff, Jon - Del and I both LOVE icicles!

We've got some hand-made glass ones hanging up around the house, and will be putting more up as part of our Christmas decorations :)

Marco.

[Marco]

A bit crap, compared to other examples here (as the snow is disappearing in Wrexham), but this is Marco towers as of two hours ago:

Marco.

[Alex_UK]

"Maggie" has earned her keep this week, our road is pretty clear now but a lot of the smaller ones are still covered in compacted snow which has now frozen solid - very slippy, even with a Landy and off-road tyres.

http://i653.photobucket.com/albums/uu259/Alex_Steel1969/IMG_4020a.jpg?1291399158

[Jonboy]

Certainly well looked after your Maggie, my old disco is the only that has left our household this week after the snow came, mostly running kids about plus a trip to Sainsburys with the mother-inlaw in the boot where she belongs ;)

[Reid Malenfant]

Nice pad :cool:
Just watch out for the owners :eek: & don't forget about "the people that live under the stairs" :mental:

[Marco]

Hehehehe... I'd tell you were my special secret dungeon (not the one behind the little white door) is located, but then I'd have to kill you! :eyebrows:

Marco.

[Reid Malenfant]

Marco.
:eek: :lolsign:

I must agree with Andr'e though, that's a rather nice house :) Plenty of distance from the neighbours as well 3125

I take it your listening room is on the 1st floor? :scratch: Going by previous pics of your setup it's the conclusion i came to (sloped roof)... Actually that my not be the case looking again :doh:

Apologies for going :offtopic:

[Marco]

Lol.... It's small but does us nicely, although the grounds and garden are pretty big. There's plenty of room for a marquee on our front lawn and parking for about 10 cars at the back! ;)

Yes, the lack of neighbours is a major bonus. It's not uncommon for us to have listening sessions when the crew are round still going on (LOUDLY) until 3-4am! :eyebrows:

We've been doing it up inside gradually (you know how long it takes to get round to these things...) and completed the 'bathroom project' this year. It was a real ballache to do, as it was painfully dated before, and not in a nice way, but I think it's turned out ok:


http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/1964/img0003jy.jpg (http://img89.imageshack.us/i/img0003jy.jpg/)


We both love black & white, as it's clean & fresh, and the overall look combines traditional features with contemporary design.

Oh, I should add that Del and I designed it ourselves :)

Next is the kitchen, which will be an even bigger job than the bathroom! :mental:

Marco.

P.S The disabled bog seat is for Del's dad, whom we look after at home.

[Reid Malenfant]

I must say i really do like it :eyebrows:

It's elegant & i think i see what you mean about the B/W, the chrome finish & wood as well have some appeal & together it looks great ;)

Bloody AoS thread drift :D

Back to it :cool:


Let it snow, let it snow , let it snow....3126

[Jonboy]

very nice Marco, i do like proper bogs and the old overhead flush system, there's some sort of "job well done" when you pull the chain

[Marco]

Ta, matey :)

If you look very closely at the top L/H corner, you can just see the tip of one of the bathroom speakers, which is fed from my system upstairs.....

It sounds not bad at all, too! There's also dimmable coloured 'mood lighting' on the ceiling, so it's quite nice lying in the bath at night in the glow of the dimmed spotlights having a soak listening to some choons, as the butler brings in the Champers! :cheers: ;)

Marco.

[Marco]

very nice Marco, i do like proper bogs and the old overhead flush system, there's some sort of "job well done" when you pull the chain

Hahaha, Jon.... I quite agree - there's definitely a more positive flushing action with bogs that have a cistern and chain. It certainly shifts some of the more stubborn 'Toffee Crisps' that refuse to sink from time to time! :lol:

Marco.

[Dave Hewitt]

I'v had a pee in Marcos new bog.

[Marco]

Ha! Maybe I should get some T-shirts with that printed on? You could have that on the front and 'Vinnie shafted my arse' on the back! :lol: :lol:

Marco.

[Dave Hewitt]

Who he?:scratch:

[ourdogmax]

Hey Marco, I do hope that bog's fitted with Dolby.

cause it takes the hush out of the flush and the hiss out of the piss.
:lolsign:

[The Grand Wazoo]

It's all very well living in a gaff like that, but Marco has to get up at 5:30 every morning to open those big old gates for 'His Grace'.
After that, it's a full day of boot polishing, bowing and scraping.
After His Lordship has had his supper, Marco has to do the 'pouffe duties', standing in as the footrest while the real one is being upholstered.
It's only after all of that, he can go back & listen to his hi-fi.
Don't forget to shut the gates again before bo-bo-time

[ourdogmax]

Looks like someone's nicked the gates.
Is it rough round there?
:lol:

[Marco]

Yes, it was that dodgy Hewitt chap - he pinched them last time and melted them down to make Mana racks!!

Besides, the chauffeur was getting f*cked off opening them all the time to get the Bentley in...

Chris, yes you're absolutely right - that nonsense is a damned inconvenience every day, so that's why her Ladyship has her eye on this:

Her exact words were: "I want it!", so it would be terribly rude not to oblige.

Marco.

[The Grand Wazoo]

Very nice!
Looks like there could be a bit of work involved there, though. But any place with a 24' long kitchen has to be taken seriously!

When I was a student I rented a wing of a castle. That had a 30' long kitchen with an 18' high ceiling. The living room had similar dimensions & I filled it nicely with my Castle Pembrokes & a Cyrus 2

[Marco]

Very nice!
Looks like there could be a bit of work involved there, though.


Indeed. Do you think a Flymo will hack it to cut the grass? Never mind, it'll be a wee job for Del to do while I stock up the wine cellar! :eyebrows:

Btw, when you visit, dinner will be served in dining hall on the east wing, which is just through the inner hallway, past the breakfast room and down by the cloakroom.....s'ok we'll give you a map ;)

The side window proper lead channel pain?

[Marco]

Yep, too right dude - all windows are leaded and are the originals from 1887... Can you imagine we get calls from Everest sales people trying to sell us bloody UPVC double glazing?? :doh: :eek: :mental:

You wanna see the thickness of the walls, too - I still remember the sweat pissing off the sparky trying to drill through the outside wall with about a 3ft masonary drill bit to get the 16mm armoured cable in, when I had the dedicated mains spur installed for my system :eyebrows:

Aye, they don't make 'em like they used to!!

Marco.

[Rare Bird]

very nice Marco, i do like proper bogs and the old overhead flush system, there's some sort of "job well done" when you pull the chain

I'd love a proper old Victorian house with all the original fittings & pot tiles..

De rigueur would be entrance hall with real stain glass in the Vestibule frame & door, original doors & windows, original open staircase, cast iron radiators & aga to mention a few things, but i suppose i'll have to keep living in a piss hole council flat. :( .. It's very frustrating when you have such high quailty standards of living you cant practice

I would do, but there's not much meat on a kitten.............

Heat is vastly overrated.

The composition though is fantastic. And it shows how beautiful Yorkshire is in the snow - undoubtedly one of our most favourite places in the UK :cool:

[Ali Tait]

Finally got the van out today after 7 days of it being stuck!!

[Alex_UK]

Wynn Hall looks lovely and amazing value, but I suspect "Needing Restoration" = "money pit" so you'd better have a big chunk of cash ready after you've bought it... Go for it though, if you can, I'm sure it would be a great project, and a good investment.

[Jonboy]

Finally got the van out today after 7 days of it being stuck!!


Wahay, freedom at last, no snow left here it hasn't stopped pissing down all day

[Ali Tait]

Still plenty here,just softened up enough today to allow me to dig down to the tarmac.

[Marco]

Hi Guys,

Ali, glad you got the van out at last - only problem is work beckons now! ;)

Regarding Wynn Hall, we are thinking seriously about it, even though we love our little lodge, as we've wanted more space for a while to facilitate some future projects.

However, as Alex says, there will be a reason why such a property is 'only' £450k, and no doubt plenty of work would need doing, but provided that it's structurally sound and not needing a new roof, or something major like that, we'd be up for the challenge and for turning it into a bit of a project.

It certainly ticks all the right boxes for us - and it's only down the road!!

To that end, we're going to arrange a viewing next week to see exactly what's involved. If we do buy it, we'll hold a massive AoS bake-off (as Jon suggests) and have a house-warming party you'll never forget! :mex:

Meanwhile back at the lodge, Mitze and Abella are giving their seal of approval to the Celestions:


http://img593.imageshack.us/img593/3193/img0112lt.jpg (http://img593.imageshack.us/i/img0112lt.jpg/)


You can't beat a real fire :)

Marco.

[Alex_UK]

Good luck with the viewing Marco, look forward to the party if it all comes off! :)

[Marco]

Cheers, dude. We'll see what we're confronted with, and take some pics... Maybe the ghost of Wynn Hall will come and say hello? :eyebrows:

Marco.

[Alex_UK]

By the way, we're not ConstantlyAmazedAtHowMuch :ner:

;)

[Marco]

Neither is Del - and she enjoys highlighting it at every opportunity! :lol:

Had a couple of blzzards here in Pickering, North Yorkshire but this morning (Friday) it is glorious blue sky and sunshine. OK, it's bloody freezing cold but at least there's no snow yet.

[chris@panteg]

We are expecting 5 inches plus here tommorow , got away with it so far .

Shaun ' the Wife and i stayed in Pickering a couple of years back ! we found a lovely pub selling Black Sheep and good food :)

[Spectral Morn]

3in + of snow here too....... I cleared the top of our car last night and the roof was covered to a depth of about an inch in about 10 min :eek:

Its starting to snow again as I type this.



Regards D S D L

[Rare Bird]

loverly, one sniff of snow & the couriors will make any excuse no to do their job again.

[Ali Tait]

Aye. I bought the missus' Christmas pressie on 26 Nov, and it still hasn't been delivered.

[Alex_UK]

Finally, something on Twitter is of use...

This Map (http://uksnowmap.com/) is updated from Tweets to do with the snow, so you can see where it is actually snowing... We had a dusting last night, bracing ourselves for the worst to come.

[Rare Bird]

Aye. I bought the missus' Christmas pressie on 26 Nov, and it still hasn't been delivered.

I've got a new printer stuck in a depot for two weeks now. Took two week to get a record deck delivered to someone in Huddersfield (1 hour away) :lolsign:

Arranged a courior to pick up an amp from someone on AOS, the parcel has misteriously got no tracking details what so ever attached to it.Doubt i'll ever see that..

As if that's not bad enough the only day i can go shopping & have no fear of anyone trying to deliver post or parcels they decide to deliver on Sunday to :doh:

None here yet, hardly any to speak of all winter so far. I think we should be getting some at about 9pm & then a big blob in the wee-wee hrs.

The Norwegian weather service is pretty good, I've been using it for a while - great animated satellite images:

The antique knocker on our door also has a bat on it, haha!! And remember the Hammer House of Horror series from the 70s?

Erm, guys, this amount of information about who you are and where you live just isn’t clever.
You may like to think that the world is full of nice people but the bad news is it isn’t.
My mate reckons he could find 2 of you inside 5mins; who you are, where you live, your phone numbers and a bit more besides. Fortunately this guy is one of the good guys, the next one may not be.
Seriously, it ain’t a nice world and most of you seem like nice people. Don’t put this sort of stuff on an internet forum.

[Marco]

Hi John,

Don't worry, I have a best friend called 'Holland & Holland', whom I'd introduce intimately to any bad men who came calling! ;)

I appreciate your concern, though :)

Marco.

[Welder]

Yeah, whatever Marco.
For the rest of you, think on it.

[chris@panteg]

Very good point John ' that's why i don't go on facebook , but i guess this is almost as vulnerable .

Marco your friend's Holland & Holland sound very enticing , i have a similar but more conventional chum called Stuart Surridge ! he's getting on a bit now but still quite handy at close quarter's :)

My favourite friend is Holland & Barratt - anyone breaks in here I'll force feed the bastard some Tea Tree oil! ;)

What I love the most about Snow is the way it changes dynamics. The dynamics of travelling and clothing are fairly obvious, but the way it completely deadens sound is almost spooky. Definitely a hifi lesson there! But the most amazing dynamic change for me is light - I've just been outside and it is like being out in the middle of the day, the beautiful whiteness acting as the perfect reflector - God is definitely a photographer.

[Reid Malenfant]

Somebody forgotten something here :scratch:

Who had the white xmas?....

Not me but i wasn't in on it :eyebrows:

[Alex_UK]

No white Chrimbo for me either - not sure if I win or lose - can't remember, and 26 bottles of wine in 3 days (between 6 of us!) has taken its toll. Equally importantly, how did Marco get on viewing Wynn Hall?

[Marco]

Postponed due to the weather and proximity to Christmas.... However, interest will be reignited after the hols :)

It's Victorian Andre. It was built by a successful speculative developer as his own home and has some advanced construction features for its age such a cavity walls although, it still had working gas lamps when I bought it even though it was electrified in the early 1900's. The house does have a number of both Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts features.

The nice thing in the Winter is that we've got 9 original fireplaces that we can use to make it feel nice and cosy.
