"Photobucket bandwidth exceeded upgrade to Pro today!"

lol, Peter, you're too popular for your own good!

Peter, why are you using Photobucket when Blogger has its own storage space in Picassa?

I may one day resize all my blog post pictures to free up space at the blog..instead of using imageshack..photobucket..
I didn't realise that photobucket had a limit..the pictures will come back on the 9th Dec..

[Lew Stringer]

Surely you're making more work for yourself by uploading scans to Photobucket or Imageshack, then downloading them from there to your blog? Why not upload them directly to your blog from your desktop, as I assume the rest of us do?

Is your Blogger account full? If so, how could that happen? My blog has been running longer than yours and I'm only now about 52% full. Something seems a bit wrong here somehow.

[Peter Gray]

I made my resolutions too large and I have filled it all up..no memory left..
so to get memory back I would have to reload a lot of my pictures again..
I'd thought it would work with imageshack and photobucket..But as you say that can go wrong too..

Another solution is what I did in my blog: I used all my avalaible storage so I opened a new email account or you can use an existing one. You then open an email account with that one. I got the same nick plus a dot at the end and associated it as an author in the blog, getting and aditional 100% that sure will last me for another 3 years, I guess...

Rather than start a new topic I thought I'd mention this here. A review in today's Metro of the dvd of "The Wolves of Willoughby Chase" I've never seen the film but the synopsis makes it sound like the sort of story that would appear in a DC Thomson Girl's comic. Has anyone seen it?

[Phoenix]

Personally no, but I have read the novel in this 1968 Puffin.

Looks more like the 1989 movie tie-in! I have the 1992 Red Fox edition meself.

Nice old fashioned kids' novel; I haven't seen the film for years but remember it being quite respectable. It's quite dark, with lashings of Gothic melodrama, including kids needing to escape a wicked governess, but with the threat of wolves prowling the wilds.

Puffin have obviously changed the cover presentation to tie in with the film, which is the reason I uploaded both front and rear covers, but there are no references to the film inside the book, which is the 21st reprinting of the original printing from 1968.

[Actually out-pedantizing Phoenix] Indeed - hence it's not a 1968 Puffin! Original printing was 1962; Cape. [/Actually out-pedantizing Phoenix]

Well Raven, it certainly isn't the 1962 Cape because that was a hardback with larger format pages. So it must be the 1968 Puffin. Just because my copy is the 21st reprinting, the covers of which the company decided to change in 1989 to advertise the Zenith film, it doesn't mean that my claim is in any way undermined. Oh and by the way, the verb to pedantize doesn't exist.
