There is a story about Bubba the 22lb, 3 ft long lobster in the news today. The perfect picture for "Shellfish"
Perhaps Maybe Mr. Fowles can post the picture?
http://www.startribune.com/
yes of courseI can
and so could you have done if you follow my simple instructions:-
in this case you first need to find the actual picture. Your bland address of:-
http://www.startribune.com/
was not really adequate as you then need to search for "Bubba" and end up at their sign in/register page then have to activate your account by clicking on the link in an
email from this secretive organisatrion
after that hastle you would then have to research and finally get to the desired page (no doubt you can only access this page if you take the trouble to register):-
http://www.startribune.com/stories/1451/5268754.html
and lo and behold there is "Bubba" at least a small picture of
"Bubba and a smaller friend"
necessitating clicking on yet another link to obtain the full sized picture:-
right clicking on this picture and selecting "propertiies" will reveal the picture's actual URL address which happens to be:-
http://www.startribune.com/stonline/...ster0303.l.jpg
All you do then is add the requisite "UBB" tags [img] in front of the URL and [/img] after it and bingo the picture of our Bubba
should appear when you post the message
Caption
Bubba, left, a lobster pulled from the waters off Nantucket, Mass., is seen in a tank beside an average-size 1 1/2 pound lobster at Wholey's fish market in Pittsburgh.
Phew
on second thoughts I doubt if you would have had the time and/or patience to get that far!!
